Explosive, controversial, Mother of Light: The Book of Fire is not like any spiritual diary you've ever read. With searing intensity, the author - writing under the pen name, Junipur - takes us over unknown landscapes, and into wilds of existence, rarely seen. The quest leads us through territories as far-reaching as reincarnation, kundalini awakening, and initiation. There are supernatural battles with adversaries of the left-hand path, encounters with false masters, and much more. As the Age of Pisces comes limping to a close, and the Age of Aquarius begins, Mother of Light is a clarion call to a deeper purpose, a more uncompromising inquiry into matters most dear to the human heart - love, death, the transcendent power of Divine Grace and, finally, freedom for the spirit. This book is not for the sentimental, or the faint-hearted; but those who see the journey through to the end, will be forever changed.

Junipur

In August of 1976, upon sitting for meditation the first time, I had a radical kundalini awakening, which is discussed at length in The Book of Fire. During the nine months of the waxing period of this phenomenon were many seminal visions, experiences. In one such dream, I was expressing (to no visible person) that I yearned to "go to India" - a destination whose significance was clear, to a student of comparative religion (such as I was at the time, at Lewis and Clark College, in Portland, Ore.); over the ages, India is a land of spiritual enlightenment, in the psyche of the collective. A voice spoke out of the ethers, saying simply: "You have to go through Africa, first." Those were the few, but telling words given, pregnant with the intimations of things to come, to be prepared for - before light, and freedom, the jungles of the unconscious, like wide, wild rivers full of rapids, and unknown creatures of the deep, would have to be crossed. The journey ensued; the ferment I was predestined to encounter traversed and, to what extent I have been capable, transformed. Thus the material for Mother of Light: The Book of Fire came into being, and the story written down.

Formal studies abounded in and around the turbulent travels of the inner realms: I graduated from a nationally-renowned academy of natural healing, which was oriented in body-centered psychotherapy and its adjuncts. Traditional scholastic pursuits include the field of Comparative Religion, studied at the University of Virginia, and Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, as well as Transpersonal Psychology, at Temenos Institute, in Connecticut.

I went on to do extended work in chakra/karmic clearing, and a further, in-depth apprenticeship in shamanism. A small healing center was created around a crystal shop I opened, in 1987.

My search for wisdom has carried me to places as diverse as India and Germany. I took the Reiki initiations, through the 3rd degree. I have been an avid student of astrology and metaphysics since the age of 18, and spent a year in Virginia Beach to devote concentrated time at the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), founded by the great mystic, Edgar Cayce.
