Imperfect characters seeking answers always attract me. Paulo CoelhoĪin’t they amazing? They make you fall in love with his books, characters, and plots. You had to take risks, follow some paths and abandon others. It was like putting out your own eyes in order not to see the bad things in life.

In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. But then, I picked up the book again and had that aha moment. I even kept the cover as my profile photo for a long time! That’s the beauty of the book cover.Įven after reading the book, I felt like I was missing something. Doesn’t that girl with long hair cascading on her shoulder, looking at the tall grass with a long gown, give you a feeling of looking at the mysterious life, seeking the answers to those unanswered questions? For me, it indeed did. So many of his books are like a journey, a kind of self quest. Even though sometimes it is difficult to understand or follow his works, I still find myself absorbed in the quest. Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors. Warning: The author has explicitly mentioned not to practice the rituals/practices without proper guidance. There is love, conflicts, her relationship with her boyfriend Lorens, there is heartbreak, there are ‘soulmates’ and a choice to be made. The story is not only about knowledge and tradition. The storyline follows her self-discovery of being a witch and practicing certain rituals on her quest. From both, there is something to be learned. The second one is a middle-aged lady, Wicca, a Teacher of Moon tradition. The first one is Magus, a Master of Sun tradition who lives in a forest. The story revolves around her quest and journey towards seeking answers. Her hunger is to seek answers from life, travel back into the past, and move into the future. Brida is a story of a twenty-one-year-old Irish girl who wants to learn magic.
