What She Knows, Volume II: Story Threads from Myth, Folklore, and Fairytales

What She Knows — Volume II enters into the deeper wild and mysterious landscapes, where we are met with the other.

Through tales such as Beauty and the Beast, Eros and Psyche, Bluebeard, and East of the Sun, West of the Moon, as well as the folklore lands of wild maidens and samodivas, these essays explore complex nuances of encounter, relationship and transformation.

These essays explore the many forms love may take - tender and fierce, illuminating and uncertain, unseen and unmistakable – as it meets us through others, through the unknown, and through the deeper layers of ourselves.

From stories of devotion and trial, to those of illusion, awakening and quiet revelations, this collection reflects on what it means to move through love without losing oneself, and to discern the genuine from the false.

Vapour, ice, snow, river, seas or rainlife, water is still water; and love too phases and reshapes, yet always remains. What is true finds its way back.
