Opis

From the Time of the Writing is a spiritual fantasy.
The spirit enters the world as both female and male. The shortest lives being described with less than one hundred words. The longest being about sixty thousand words.
These lives span millions of years, but still the story seems to connect (a love story over vast time).
The author creates a writer who arrives in the fantasy with a fictional prologue, then again when the time of the writing arrives (the present) and in the second last chapter. Some four hundred thousand years in the future, when the prologue and early chapters re-emerge (back to the future).
The fictional underlying theme of the development of pagan beliefs over vast time spans. Then the repression of such is also back to the future as in form they re-emerge, hundreds of thousands of years into the future.
I have used historical figures with non-factional story line. Open minded people recognize that historical fact is often a one sided story from the pen of the victor.
The legend of Boudica (A.D. about sixty) it is said was supported by some two hundred thousand Britons in the largest resistance against the Roman Empire, mainly because she was whipped and sexual assault occurred upon her family (in violent times).
This story takes the view that perhaps the people were angry because many thousands of Roman legions were at the time in the final process of eliminating the holy centre of the Druids.
A total attack upon the spiritual beliefs of people across Britannica and much of Europe. Beliefs that had developed over a very long period of time and have since perhaps been systematically misrepresented.
The spiritualfantasy of the living Earth (Earth Mother Goddess) gives a different slant to the environmental obligations of the human race.
