Frequently Asked Questions-
How do you manage an active spiritual life and a career? I’m very fortunate that so much of my life is integrated together. My spiritual life underlies everything I do, but this isn’t always obvious. My travel writing and other freelance work is often very “secular”, but the inner experiences I have while traveling always impact my spiritual understanding. Sometimes I think that there is absolutely no spiritual dimension to a particular trip I’m taking, and then Isis sweeps back the veils and I find myself in the midst of an intensely moving experience that deepens my spiritual understanding.

Have you always written New Age? I’ve been a writer since I could hold a pencil. Somehow, I just thought that the reason that they taught kids to write was so they could write books. I started my first novel at eight – and wrote a hundred and fifty pages in longhand. It was an action-adventure-romance with travel, aliens, and a religious theme. I like to think it was a book that truly had something for everyone! Certainly the aliens and religious revelations in Aramaic could be seen as “New Age”, I guess! But I didn’t expect to be a New Age writer. My first published work was poetry in a small magazine called “The Hungry Years” published by Les Brown. I was sixteen and it was the biggest thrill of my life. As for the New Age, it was Scott Cunningham encouraging me to finalize Mysteries of Isis which made me a “New Age Writer”. And most of my freelance writing work is still not “New Age”, though it’s wonderful when I can combine it all together.

What inspired you to write the Mysteries of Isis? When I first connected with Isis spiritually through the writings of Dion Fortune, there was very little about Isis that was readily available. I pored over books and was happy if I found a sentence or two pertaining to Isis. Even in Egyptology books, especially the earlier ones, she was often skipped over or references to her were left out of the indexes while every possible mention of the Egyptian gods or pharaohs were carefully documented. I got very good at a combination of bibliomancy and speed-reading; I had a knack for opening a book to a reference to Isis. or finding them by quickly flipping through.  Obviously, I kept notes and began organizing them for my own use, and that became the framework for “The Mysteries of Isis.”

Then, when I should have been concentrating on pre-med biology, I found an amazing bookshelf at the  library of the University of California at Irvine.  Book after book on Isis, including R.E. Witt’s “Isis in the Graeco-Roman World” (recently reprinted as “Isis in the Ancient World That truly opened my eyes to the richness of the ancient worship of Isis. It also opened my wallet to the good people of  UCI when I finally had to pay my overdue book fees in order to get a transcript. They knew who I was when I called the front desk to find out what I had to pay. I suspect there was a poster.

Do you do a lot of research? Absolutely. It’s play for me, and I use all kinds of sources – books, journals, the Internet, my own experiences traveling, interviews, discussions, what I learn in the workshops I give, all of it. One of my projects on Minoan magic is a challenge since relatively little can be discovered by reading – it has to be experiential, by visiting the sites, seeing the way the land is, calculating how it has changed over the millennia, sifting out what has survived into modern folklore practices in Greece and elsewhere, finding what works in helping to forge a bond with the divine of that very ancient time. It’s different , much more physical approach. I’ve scrambled up cliffs to get to caves, nearly driven backwards off of the road to an ancient Minoan peak sanctuary, and have been rescued by Greek fishermen when gale force winds flipped my kayak. Library research is usually calmer, but if I finally find a crucial reference in a book, that gets my adrenalin flowing too.

I write like a sculptor in clay – first I gather up a great ball of information, plunk it down in front of me – metaphorically – and then begin shaping and smoothing it, taking away from this area, adding to that – until it feels and looks right to me. The research is my clay.
