"Confessions of the Naive Maiden" is a poetry series created to honor the "Naive Maiden" archetype. The series was crafted over time, each poem a place of refuge in a dark passage way through the life of the creative, in love. The lessons experienced through the initiatory processes in these poems are potent, and meant to be shared. The sharing is here to touch the space between the poet and the listener, while also acting as a transmutation of shadow into art & understanding. An awareness brews in the creative process, where honesty is cultivated and there becomes a freeing and a choice to step into the alchemy of truth, to be in awe of the journey through the underground forest of the wild.
