About the Book
The day I was born, I knew immediately I’d probably made a mistake, thinking another life in Midgard would be easy. This life would be difficult, but I couldn’t go back. I am committed now. The Mystic Landscape presents a myth—or perhaps a fairy tale—about a mortal man and woman and the way they find each other. Through their travels through the nine worlds, they discover a deep love for each other. They encounter devils, demons, ogres, shamans, angels, and gods through the course of a journey up into mountains and down to the bottom of oceans. Through the nine worlds of mythology, they ultimately find their love for each other remaining even after death. This is a story told through imagination and intuition beyond and behind the physical material world that most of us believe we know. This narrative blends prose and poetry to share an imaginative tale about the love of two people as it spans time, place, and worlds of mythology, even defying death.
About the Author
Susan Chadwick began writing fiction after a long career as a psychotherapist, consultant and teacher. Her interest in and study of mythology and Jungian psychology led her to write about life, dreams and death through the eyes of mythology, modern psychology and poetry to try to understand the ineffable. She writes about the double realm of spiritual and material life and how they intersect, change and influence our lives. She also has been influenced by her experiences living in India and Egypt and her consulting work as a multiculturalist and human ecologist.
