Drawing on the Medicine of the Seven Beasts, the Shadow of the Dark Goddess and the Hidden Treasures of the Mysterium Itself ...

This first photo of these two works side by side in the physical universe marks the culmination of a nine-year run of intense creative endeavor.

Part autobiographical novel, part world history, I, the Dragon: Chronicles of An Epic Life Among the Humans speaks to the existential crisis of our age and offers insights on the way forward for both the individual and the collective. I, the Dragon tells the story of a child who survives profound sexual and psychological abuse and how that child becomes a planet-circumambulating expert in the shadow realms of espionage, cyber crime and terror. Drawing on the medicine of the Seven Beasts, the shadow of the Dark Goddess and the hidden treasures of the Mysterium itself, I, the Dragon tells the story of a life-long journey into the wilderness of healing and revelation.

I, the Dragon is a limited edition (333 copies), soft-cover, full-color book, with 405 pages, 115 images and 83 footnotes. Each copy is numbered and signed. I, the Dragon is available exclusively via http://www.GoFundMe.com/wordsofpower

Wyrds of Power: New Language for A New Reality constitutes a significant contribution to the emerging global wisdom tradition of the 21st Century. Several overarching themes frame this dispatch from the Ancient Future: the Evolution of Yoga and the Yoga of Evolution, the Ascendancy of the Feminine in Psyche (Human and Divine), Gaian Poetics, i.e., our intimate, creative relationship with the vast planetary intelligence within which we live, move and have our being, Altruism and Sustainability as Spiritual (and Existential) Imperatives and Path of an Evolutionary, i.e., a call to the great shift to a green civilization required of us if our species is to survive.

The funds raised through the I, the Dragon Limited Edition campaign will be used to produce audio books of both I, the Dragon and Wyrds of Power and to promote upcoming events and workshops.
