We met over zoom for two hours to sing, commune, hear fairytales and write our way inside and out of them. In my cosmology of reality, mythos and fairytale is the much needed water of life of these times. A well, a chalice, the divine feminine Sophia. Alive and devouring. Alive and transforming. The writings in this bountiful anthology are the creative spells, sacred wells, and eternal flames that thirteen women retrieved on the path of story. English was not the mother tongue of each woman. The women wrote from diverse locations on the map -United States, Poland, England, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Morocco. It was a profound honor to witness and guide these women.

May these raw, sensual, fierce, captivating, intoxicating, enchanting, truthful, deep and soulful voices stir the cauldron of inspiration in you too. May you be enraptured, ensouled, enlivened. May the red rose of beauty awaken and unfurl the red in you. And so….we begin with the scent of something hidden, something forgotten, something lost, now found, emerging, remembered. At the center of Crack open the Story. There Blooms their Blooms...
