Publisher's summary

Unconditional love is what really works for solitary Bridget after giving the dark side a try. She had raised herself to believe in the bright, gained it, lost it, and now was regaining it. She finds all her old ideals remain the source of her power and her strength as a crone. In the third in the series, Bridget rises above the chaos and takes flight. This is a fictionalized autobiography. In the new edition, long scenes have been pared downed for smoother reading. Review of 1st edition by “ren” of Amazon.com "In this, the third novel in the trilogy of Maiden/Mother/Crone Bridget Collins confronts The ten thousand things or the world of manifestation and attempts to bring order to them and to fit them into a belief system. After testing countless methods and possible mentors, groups, covens, and Goddess worshipers for existential meaning she finds her answer to be Wicca. Wicca is open ended enough in practice that interpretation of how to ply your craft is as individual as Bridget herself and she is determined to aid the planet and the souls that occupy it, while engendering no harm. Not one for small goals this ambition drives her to serious study of everything from psychology to quantum physics, Taoism to Christianity, tarot reading, to nutrition, aura repair to crystal healing -- there is nothing that does not fall in line, cooking, canning, nursing, parenting and grand-parenting, embroidery, writing, engineering, information technology, software development, sex, medicine, management, farming, art and dance -- all is useful as she draws on Wicca to translate concepts into healing energy. Then off-handedly one day she hears: Everything happens for a reason (for the first time) and it at once focuses her outlook on the ethereal horizon and brings release of the tension that has been with her since childhood, to somehow make everything all right. Accounts of her meditations and spirit journeys are hypnotic and take you with her to the extraordinary places she visits to meet the beings she encounters and to touch the enlightened revelations they offer."
