GENESIS THE FUTURE
'And you about as much a ghost as Raven here is a pigeon. As for having a need of you, that's as may be.' She pulled something smelly, brown and dry, like an old mushroom, from a pocket hidden within the folds of her clothing, chewed slowly, pulling me gently, slowly, towards buildings.
Life continues beyond a cataclysm of climate disaster and, unlike the militarized and corporate dimness of sectors of the northern hemisphere, the southern lands have recovered.
When a young woman, abandoned as a child and named Ghost because of albinism, takes possession of an empty book, with a red leather cover and embossed with the word GENESIS, she teaches herself the almost obsolete art of writing. What she doesn't yet realize is how deeply into the mists of myth her record is destined to travel. Or how it will impact the inhabitants of that land, thousands of years after the coming Ice Age.
What if time is a fractal, forever mimicking itself.
Like seasons?
Like life?
What would we do differently, if we knew?
Author Biography:
Ly de Angeles. We are deceived by a language that has, in actuality, been shredded from the meat of the mummified bones of our elders. Those who lie in bogs, and shallow fields of forgotten battles, fetal, like petrified hedgehogs, protecting open and never-healing wounds, useless or broken weapons, pleas to be ourselves. Nothing ever goes away, ever actually dies. It is our duty to protecting our own souls, and those of our children, from the predation of a bigoted history. Story is a way of making sense of what would otherwise dull our minds with prattle Ly de Angeles is a writer, psychic, master storyteller and researcher. First published in England in 1987 she has been in print, with one book or another, since. De Angeles facilitates immersive personal and group workshops, both educating and guiding, through initiatory journeys and story-sharing, powerful awakenings of ancestral presences. These experiences rip out the throat of the glib, acceptably incorrect and banal retelling of mythic half-truth and folktale. It is challenging work, but liberating, particularly for those having suffered spiritual and cultural misappropriation and oppression. Award-winning author and film maker, de Angeles currently lives and works in Melbourne. She is an indigenous Celt (see Rivers in the Skin), has strong genealogical roots to Nordic, Irish and Breton ancestry, and is studied in the lore and story of these living landscapes. She bore three children and loves to cook. She is a scholar, a practitioner of several martial arts, a defender of culture, language, freedom of speech, gender diversity and multi-species and equality and right-to-respect.
