"Creating Characters from Other Realms" by Pamela Jaye Smith...In the midst of the most scientifically advanced civilization in history we're seeing a resurgence of interest in magic and other realms. You doubt there's more to reality than our human senses can perceive? Just watch your cat stalking "invisible" things. The eternal popularity of scary stories is evidence that most of us love to be mystified and sometimes a little terrified, maybe because it reminds us that we’re alive, maybe just for the adrenaline rush.
