There are moments in a person’s life when a portal opens into an unknowable, unseen, unidentifiable “Other” — a place both strange and extraordinary, like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. This is the mystical realm of poetry and art, wild beasts and helpful animals, flying and falling, paradox and wisdom. Anyone who accepts the invitation has a uniquely transformative experience. And then the portal closes again.
For three years, Diane Croft had access to a hidden, animated realm described by C.G. Jung as “the collective unconscious,” where she took part in an initiatory process of death and rebirth, as retold by countless others — from Dante’s journey to the underworld to Rumi’s ecstatic encounter with the Beloved. Her beautifully illustrated book of Eros-awareness speaks the metaphoric language of symbol, art, and poetry. Follow Croft’s uniquely embodied experience of a universal reality outside the boundaries of time and space, and discover the source of our longing for an Other that lies within.
“Don’t miss this gorgeous book! I have waited years with great anticipation for this book. It is even more beautiful than expected. My congratulations to the author for the perfect completion of a long labor of love.” – Tom Cheetham, author of Imaginal Love: The Meanings of Imagination in Henry Corbin and James Hillman
