Wildness, as in that animating principle who exists everywhere...in an old growth forest, a dandelion growing up through a crack in a city sidewalk, and in the constant in and out of all our bodies' involuntary breathing. But patriarchy systematically tries to deceive and separate us from this force with it's self-important institutions and endless cultural conditioning, re-creating us constantly in its own unnatural image. We are NOT separate from Nature! Remembering this is essential if we are to survive...and it comes with brilliant benefits!!
Divine intercession plays a big part in my work. Not in any of the current religious motifs, of course, but in the much older and more biologically appropriate animist understanding of the Divine: Divinity as the innate spark, the gut reaction, the inner wisdom that is the best...and most ignored...part of every single one of us. Since the industrial age does not want to acknowledge the problems it creates, it becomes the function of artists and writers to Remember our Inner Deity. That's why Muse is constantly telling Calliope to Remember. I was talking to myself when I composed that, and, of course, to YOU, Dear Reader! We're all the same.
The divine feminine is coming back. And like my protagonist Calliope, She is STRONG. She has no need for artificially created power structures, churches, laws or absurd and destructive rationales. She is the Animating Principle, the Wisdom of The Body. I know this is true. If it weren’t, I would not have been able to write any of this.
