The Quest Of Alayna: A Mythic Journey

A thousand or more years ago, at the edge of the deep wood Alayna was born a mortal, like you. The cherished only child of one of several women with children, who banded together after all losing their men to war. Soon after 'coming of age' at sixteen, Alayna then loses her beloved mother. Grief awakens in her a strong desire to leave. A call to set out alone into the deepest part of the forest. After many days of travel, seeking the strangest ways she can find, Alayna hears flute music in the far distance. Following it to its source, she spies a beautiful man, though stranger than anyone she had ever imagined. Fascinated, shaken & soon determined to win him, she is guided to the entrance of a cave. As she chooses to accept the challenge & enter into its total darkness, her true journey of transformation has begun... The Quest of Alayna is a mythic tale of the Great Goddess in her triple form - Maiden, Mother & Crone. A charming story that is multi-layered. Both a fun & lovely read for youths; & yet rich in psychological symbolism. A feminine archetypal 'hero's journey' that has something for women of all ages... because it's about finding & embracing our own inner divinity - be we Maiden, Mother or Crone.
