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.
