Flower Amid the Devastation
Meer oor hierdie oudioboek
A spirit-storm causes devastation across a land and the Flower of Life is rent. The quest to find its lost petals and center becomes the basis for this projected trilogy-length work. Drawing upon Southwestern and Eastern Woodland Cosmology, its title Servants of the Flower World, invokes the opposite of Lord of the Rings. It involves the drama of confrontation between good and evil, which takes place in This World and an inverted Flower World, in which the fate of both can go either way. Join us in imagining an alternate world composed of a rich variety of beings, in which the usual pattern of might makes right is upended in unexpected ways, and a coherent, alternative and life-giving vision is offered.
Meer oor die skrywer
The author, having recently completed a generational history of Ancestral Pueblo History and an analysis of markings on a stone using Eastern Woodland Cosmology, brings this awareness to help create a fantasy world. He also makes use of his familiarity with symbolic worlds through his work on dreams and archetypes of Western cultures from courses he has taught. Increasingly, the author feels immersed in a "flow," in which he sees his work as a collaboration between the universe and reader. He has enjoyed the challenge of creating an epic fantasy, filled with action and based on an alternative cosmology, which he invites the reader to join.
