A book of poetry in devotion to our bodies and the natural world, with herbal recipes, journal prompts, and rituals.

In Chaya Merage’s debut collection of published poems, journey through the arcs and cycles of a womb-carrier, mirrored in the seasons of our beloved earth.

Traverse these seasons as ancient rites of passage, meeting the inner maiden in slippery first love. 

Seek the Divine in romance and learn instead to find it within ourselves and the ecology around us on an untamed path of botanica erotica. 

Allow tender innocence to crack open into embodied power, righteous rage, and a return to our bare bones. Merage invites us to pray over those bones until we are born anew. 

Emerging from the rebirth of our own regenerative soil, uncoil into the expanse of time eternal. 

Walk the labyrinth of the heroine's journey, peek behind the veil to your own singing intuition, and begin to see the sacred in every cell. 

Merage urges us to break free from what we think we are supposed to be and becomewho we really are. Come home to your own knowing, your body, and the body of the earth.
