Mazo y el León
by Lorenzo Bermejo Thomas Richard StookerPara aprobar su instrucción como hechicero, Mazo debe dirigir a un león a punto de morir de hambre por un corredor de una jaula a otra. Después, tiene que sobrevivir a otro hechicero que le odia y a la diosa de la Luna, que le ama. ¿Cansado de varitas mágicas y de «recetas» con ojo de tritón? Si los ingredientes contienen realmente el poder, efectuamos un experimento de química. Quizá los verdaderos magos imponen su voluntad en el mundo sin trampas. A principios del Neolítico, las escuelas de hechicería enseñaban una potente magia interior. Los cánticos y los adornos podrían engañar a los cazadores primitivos y a los encorvados agricultores, pero no al rey de las bestias. En el fondo, tu fuerza interior proviene del dios o la diosa a la que sirves. En La Reina Luna, un cuento corto para niños pequeños, una hija de leñadores pobres camina hasta una ciudad para ver a la Reina Luna, encontrándose con el rechazo de sus orgullosos habitantes. Sin embargo, cuando se aleja de los vanidosos y poderosos, conoce a una muchacha en un carruaje que insiste en que intercambien sus ropas, y nunca vuelve a ver a su madre ni a su hermano pequeño. Mazo y el León se publicó por primera vez en BARDIC RUNES IX en 1994. Es un cuento corto histórico fantástico que incluye dos regalos: 1. La Reina Luna: un cuento corto escrito para un libro infantil ilustrado. 2. Mazo y el León ~ La Reina Luna entre bastidores: un artículo inédito del autor.
