Why subscribe?
Every other Sunday, you will receive a new piece of writing directly to your inbox, along with an audio recording of each post for those of you who prefer to listen over a cup of coffee or a good old glass from the vine of Dionysus.
There is a free version and a paid version of this publication. Please note my writings in the free version are more infrequent.
PAID SUBSCRIPTION:
Becoming a paid subscriber supports my fieldwork and independent research while giving you full access to my findings. If you have been taking my online classes, the paid publication may be of particular interest as it will give you further access to my scholarship on the pre-patriarchal wisdom traditions of Europe and the Near and Middle East.
A special thanks to subscribers who pay for my publication. Approaching this archive as an educational resource supports my fieldwork, independent research and writing.
I hope you will consider joining me here, with that hot drink or glass of wine, to gather together in the place known by Sufi mystics as the place where the two seas meet, the 'alam al-mithal (“the world of the image”) of the Islamic Mystics, the Nâ-Kojâ-Abâd ("the country of non-where”) of the ancient Persians, and the land east of the sun and west of the moon in the Russian fairytales.
Put more simply, see you under the fig tree.
** The title of this publication is in memoriam to my great-grandmother’s fig tree in Spain under which, as C. S. Lewis would put it, my imagination was first baptised.
Hello there. My name is Gabriela. To find out more about my work, you can visit my website.
