Knights, Frights, Bright Lights, and Ineffable Guides

How can we explain the miracles, large and small, that happen to us every day? Mysterious “coincidences” that point to powers at work beyond the material world are occurrences worthy of attention.

The stories of invisible guardians in this collection are based on actual events, some told to Jakob Streit in conversation and others drawn from his own experiences. Those who shared these remarkable events consistently believed a guiding force had intervened in their destiny.

“The Star Rider” is a free adaptation of a 17th-century Irish legend, while “Anna McLoon” grew from a search for the last Celtic storyteller, who spent a lifetime traveling from farm to farm and village to village throughout Ireland, sharing her treasure of Irish folktales.

The code of chivalry, experienced in what Western history calls the Middle Ages, finds echoes in cultures around the world. Three knight tales explore this ideal through a retold fairy tale, an adaptation of a legend, and a true historical account.

The stories unspool like silk in this collection, carrying us into remarkable moments in human lives that alter the course of destiny. Engaging, mysterious, and sometimes wild, they offer an intriguing glimpse into the power of storytelling and the mysteries of guidance, destiny, and fate.
