Synopsis
"As she sang, the shadows of the tall trees grew deeper and the light of the rising moon fell upon her, standing alone, set apart from our attentive circle." —Gérard de Nerval
She is the great mother, Magna Mater, she is the immensity, the recollection, the reconciliation, the fusion with the Great All, the reuniting of Heaven and Earth, the peace of the primal placenta before the turmoil of rebirth.
