This is the first published volume of Christine Berger's poetry. She started writing around age fifty, never having picked up a pen (or keyboard) before that. As a practicing witch for 26 years, and a practioner of eclectic spiritual paths through her lifetime, from Buddhism to Golden Dawn, writing provides a safety valve for emotional release and a way of sharing for a strong introvert. An identification with Nature and Gaia as mother, as well as peak experiences from spiritual practice and the blessing of a strong community provide much of the inspiration for her poems.
