Wilhelm Börner (1788-1855) studierte in Leipzig und Jena evangelische Theologie und arbeitete danach in Greiz als Hauslehrer, dann an öffentlichen Schulen und ab 1817 als Pfarrer u.a. in Ranis. Der Vogtländische altertumsforschende Verein war 1825 in Hohenleuben gegründet worden. Dort berichtete Börner über seine Ausgrabungen, heute Ausstellungsstücke auf Burg Ranis. Sein Bändchen "Volkssagen aus dem Orlagau" (erschienen Altenburg 1838) knüpft hier an. Wie von Funden erzählt er populäre Stoffe, die in der Region des Vogtlandes bzw. dem Tal der Orla spielen. Ilsa und die Höhle der Burg Ranis, die goldene Schäferei, Sagen um Perchta (eine Frau Holle-Gestalt) und Sagen rund um Waldweibchen und Futtermännchen gehören dazu. In Börners Sammlung unterhalten sich befreundete junge Erwachsene über "Alterthum", über ,Fund und Erfindung'. Es ist ein Suchen nach Bedeutung, Identität und Herkunft. Diese fingierte Mündlichkeit nutzte der Autor als künstlerisches Mittel für seine Erklärungen. Durch dieses Gesamtbild liest sich das Buch unterhaltsam - im Unterschied zu Sammlungen, wo die Stücke unverbunden hintereinander gestellt sind.Kathrin Pöge-Alder präsentiert hier Börners Text original und erläutert ihn mit Anmerkungen und Kommentaren.

"Reads like a warm hug." --Rebecca Thorne, bestselling author of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea"A stunning tale of learning to let go." --Shelf AwarenessA warm and hopeful story of a lonely witch consumed by grief who discovers a whimsical cast of characters in a magical arboretum--and the healing power of found family. Powerless witch Saika is ready to enact her sister's final request: to plant her remains at the famed Ash Gardens. When Saika arrives at the always-stormy sanctuary, she is welcomed by its owner, an enormous knit-cardiganed mythical beast named Frank, who offers her a role as one of the estate's caretakers.Overcome with grief, Saika accepts, desperate to put off her final farewell to her sister. But the work requires a witch with intrinsic power, and Saika's been disconnected from her magic since her sister's death two years prior. Saika gets by at the sanctuary using a fragment of a fallen star to cast enchantments--while hiding the embarrassing truth about herself. As Saika works harder in avoidance of her pain, she learns more about Frank, the decaying house at Ash Gardens, and the lives of the motley staff, including bickering twin cherubs, a mute ghost, a cantankerous elf, and an irritating half witch, among others. Over time, she rediscovers what it means to love and be wholly loved and how to allow her joy and grief to coexist. Warm and inventive, House of Frank is a stirring portrait of the ache of loss and the healing embrace of love.

Most books aimed at introducing Orthodoxy to the non-Orthodox begin by explaining basic points of doctrine and practice that differ from what the average reader may be familiar with. But for the average American, this approach doesn't go deep enough. In order to be able to fully understand Orthodox doctrine and practice, we have to unlearn an entire secular worldview and become participants in a sacramental worldview instead-a worldview that embraces reality as it truly is. Dr. Zachary Porcu provides a guide to this process that is easily accessible both to Western Christians and to those who lack any grounding in the Christian Faith.
