The Journal of Hildegard of Bingen, Advent 1151-Epiphany 1153 Book

Rich, exuberant testament of one liturgical year in the life of the great 12th-century mystic, as envisioned by a 20th-century medieval scholar. "A true telling and a healing fiction, clearly inspired by the Great Lady herself. The power of her presence permeates each page."—Jean Houston, author of The Possible Human.

A rich, exuberant, fiery testament of one liturgical year in the life of a 12th-century abbess and mystic, as envisioned by a modern scholar. Firmly rooted in the facts of Hildegard's life, this imagined journal tells of her struggle to become an accepted healer, writer, and advocate of women's full participation in the life of the spirit.
