Reading these short stories feels like an act of devotion in itself, even an act of prayer. The narratives blend fiction and myth (and - one suspects - quite a bit of personal religious experience), and yet the feelings they bring forth, feelings towards the divine, are every bit as real and powerful as those elicited by ritual and worship. Gain new appreciation of deities you may never have connected with before, and fall in love all over again with the complex light and dark sides of your most beloved and familiar gods.
Artemis, Demeter, Hekate, Dionysos, Persephone, Poseidon, Athena, Hera, heroines and nymphs, legendary queens. The depths of the sea and the far side of death. Festivals celebrated two thousand years ago and two weeks ago. Transformations, epiphanies, tragedies, sacred rites and mysteries. Difficult truths and unexpected blessings. All infused with a nuanced understanding of divine nature encompassing the breathtakingly cosmic down to the most everyday associations. These are not just stories, they are jumping off points for deep contemplation and spiritual engagement. But they are also wonderfully told tales that will entertain and captivate, and can be returned to again and again with pleasure.
