Despite the tremendous influence that both the Ardent and Tempered sects hold within Dweghom society, the foundation of the Dweghom Hold still rests firmly upon the core social unit of the Clan. It should be noted, however, that a Dweghom Clan should not be equated with the traditional human kinship structure so prevalent in the highlands of Braeonia. Dweghom Clans are instead descended from the warbands and regiments that survived the Breaking and the subsequent retreat to the Holds. While heritage and tradition do form a strong bond between the members of a clan, the traditional filial bonds so prevalent in human clans are far less important due to the Dweghom social structure.
Raised in a Clan crèche from birth, clan association quickly becomes stronger than parental bonding. While parents retain some prideful interest in the progress of their offspring and their Aghm, by early adulthood this dissociation is almost total. Within a Clan, each member has their value measured according to their own achievements, creating a remarkably meritocratic system. However, this same system is also ruthlessly unforgiving and competitive, where a single mistake ends advancement and opens the distinct possibility of entering a vicious cycle of social humiliation that only ends at the very bottom of the social ladder.
The rigid codification and allocation of Aghm by the Mnemancers, however, does not allow for errors or accidents. A single misstep on this perilous road can quickly see opportunities for advancement vanishing while his peers progress. A particularly bad mistake could even see the individual relegated to positions that allow no accrual of Aghm, condemning him to the lowest strata of society and the darkest, least rewarding of tasks.
Partly to ameliorate this social dynamic, and partly to ensure the replenishment of their ranks, it is possible for a Dweghom warrior to voluntarily cap his advancement in the military if he commits to lifelong service at his current standing. It is a testament to the harshness and potential dangers of military advancement, the fact that the bulk of Dweghom warriors have stepped off the advancement track and committed themselves to a lifetime of military service.
The sword and shield remain the traditional equipment of the Dweghom infantry. Even while mass produced in their massive forges, the swords remain exceptional examples of Dweghom craft, with function placed firmly before form. Similarly, their shields are modular locking metal sheathed wooden planks over a steel frame, allowing for the quick repair and replacement after battle. On the other hand, battle with a flying opponent quickly cured the Dweghom of preconceptions against ranged combat. The ballistae were the first ranged weapon developed to combat dragons, but were quickly outclassed by the more esoteric weapons developed by the Tempered. They are nonetheless a powerful instrument of death against lesser foes, and their ease of production and repair have made them a staple of the Hold armories.
Be they shield-bearing warriors or ballistae specialists, when one encounters unranked Hold Warriors within the field, he will mostly be facing hardened veterans who have devoted their life to military service. The small percentage who are not lifelong servicemen, however, trade battlefield experience for ambition and ruthlessness, making them just as dangerous on the field of battle.

A Healer's Book
Format: Paperback
In my opinion, this book is most suited to the "healers". I am only part-way through it right now, but thoroughly agree with what I have read so far because I have either experienced it or it makes logical sense from where I am on my personal journey. The book is slow reading, not difficult, but slow if you really want to understand what Barbara has written as she combines science with metaphysical beliefs. I cannot compare this book to her first book because, although I purchased her first book years ago, I honestly have not read it yet. "Light Emerging" was recommended by my master teacher. Barbara has spent significant time studying the auric fields of people vs. behavior.
I plan to return to this review at a later time and update it with additional information, but I see it as a valuable resource for a healer (for both healing self and healing others). By the way, if you don't know it already, healing is not limited to the physical body. There is emotional healing and spiritual healing as well. ALL are important. The healthiest people are those who are balanced on all levels.
This 342-page book explains a lot about energy, both scientifically and metaphysically. If you have already done significant reading, this book expands on a lot of it, such as explaining the chakras and the movement of energy throughout the system. As Barbara goes through each chakra, she explains how you likely behave if that chakra is fully functioning or if it is blocked. Quite a few illustrations within the book visually show you the energy movements within people who exhibit certain types of behavior, and the movements of energy within groups of 2 people exchanging energies at certain levels. This is one way in which this book is different from many other chakra and energy vibrational books. An example is an illustration of a couple in dispute and how they energetically resolved the dispute. Barbara has the developed ability to see the auric fields, as some do, and she supplements her writing with experiences she has had with clients. In this instance, she explains the energy movement in 3 stages of the therapy between the couple, as well as illustrates it in picture form, so you can follow what is happening energetically between the couple throughout the process.
Here is a little tid-bit for you from the book: Barbara mentions that Dr. Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, found that all healers exhibit the brain-wave patterns of 7.8 - 8 Hz while they are giving healings, the same fluctuation of the earth's magnetic energy field (the Schumann waves). The assumption is that the healers are synching up with the earth's magnetic field when doing healing. Dr. John Zimmerman, founder and president of Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute, found through additional research, that once healers have linked with the Schumann waves, the right and left hemispheres of their brain have become balanced with each other and show a 7.8 - 8 Hz alpha rhythm. After they link with the patient for some time through laying on of hands, they are able to link the client in with the same earth's energy magnetic pulsations.
Good book. If you are into metaphysical energy and healing, I think you will enjoy it and find it very informative. If you are NOT into metaphysical energy and healing, you will likely not understand it and may get nothing from it, especially if you are not open to this area of study.

Sequel to Hands of Light
Format: Paperback
Hands of Light has been widely recognized as the foundational text merging the Eastern approach to healing through cleansing and balancing a person's chakras and auras with the Western approach to healing through re-tuning a person's electromagnetic frequencies by applying the principles of quantum physics.
Barbara's sequel, Light Emerging, further amplifies and extends these concepts. Specifically, she elaborates on the applications of the Holographic Model, the Creative Process and the mechanisms of Spiritual Guidance. She defines and diagrams the four dimensions of humanity at the Physical, Auric, Harac and Core Star levels. Through these four dimensions, average humans, once healed and balanced, can mature to be channels of energy, connecting heaven to earth vertically, and connecting all of humanity horizontally. The whole of Barbara's teaching can be incorporated into these four simple, clear and deeply profound diagrams.
Since her previous book, Barbara set aside her private practice to establish a four-year university-level program to train and accredit healing practitioners to apply these disciplines. This book incorporates the further insights and experiences she gained through developing her School. Light Emerging is written specifically to instruct readers on how to self-heal and to give readers a preview on the commitment required to becoming a healing practitioner. This book is not intended to replace her School's four-year degree in healing. Appendix C offers links to current lists of her practicing graduates, by city and state.
There is no duplication between her books. I personally benefited by reading and studying them side by side. I have also called a number of her graduates here in California and confirm they have both the meticulous training and proper motives to follow in Barbara Ann Brennon's footsteps.
No fiction here. This book exemplifies the theory and practice of genuine physical, psychological and spiritual healing, either through self-study or through a practitioner.
