I published the book,
Undines
    at

 Lulu.com Search "Undines"

Available as an ebook to download or a print to order in 8.5" by 11" size.


For Preface, Contents, and Introduction 



Note: These undines are not cute, sweet, smiling, little mermaids with
tails attached. Their beauty and magic are astonishing.

I have had some really nice compliments that the words I write "are the
real thing." But there is no point in my writing a book about undines
unless human women can learn to embody the undines' qualities and powers.  
(the same for men and mermen--see my merman audio meditation under Audio).
Focusing on the words but not the experience is like having a key but not
using it to open the door, feeling compassion but never expressing it, or 
being in love but never consumating it. 

A book needs readers so I am promoting this book. That part is normal. But
this book also contains a quest. The undines believe that human women are
quite capable of embodying the undines' qualities and powers whereas many
who practice magic or are capable of exploring the realms of fairy know
nothing about these possibilities.
  Consequently, see The Undine Project and Global Casting Call below.


The Undine Project

Video Poems


This section of video poems pursues poetry, still pictures, and video 
as an artistic study of femininity. In terms of magic, the magnetic fluid 
or the field of magnetic energy that extends throughout nature, is the 
embodiment and essence of the feminine spirit.  
  Obviously, women have a closer tie to the magnetic fluid than do men.  
The magnetic energy itself, however, extends far beyond anything known by
women in our age and in our society. It is not that women can not embody
this energy.  It is rather that no one asks them to, points them in this
direction, challenges them, or trains them. Our world simply has too many
other distractions.
  Nonetheless, experiencing the magnetic fluid first hand grants inner
peace and oneness with the universe--infinite peace, absolute contentment
and perfect serenity, pure receptivity to any being or spirit, and a
divine level of compassion.
  Still, women can, without a great deal of effort, symbolize and express
this feminine energy that extends though nature, human, and divine realms.  
Women are, from one perspective, in the image of God/Goddess, the Creator.  
This section on video poems attempts to explore this symbolism and 
capacity for artistic expression.

Warning: contains nudity and is for mature individuals who are over age
18 only.

Warning 2: I can easily understand how nudity can be construed as
offensive to spiritual practitioners.  I can also easily understand how
using women as models to portray undines in some aspect is also offensive
to some individuals.  I carry the burden of opening a gate into a magical
realm previously keep secret from humanity. To reveal something new to the
public requires spiritual will, power, and purpose adequate for the task.  
  I would state, for the record, that one reason that this particular
knowledge of the inner worlds has been kept hidden is that previous
masters and bards were unable to deal with the idea or experience--they
could and many can not accept women being able to unite the pure,
unconstrained sensuality of nature with a divine level of empathy and
love. Such fear does not constrain or worry me. The undines' love and
empathy are required for the work I seek to accomplish.


Global Casting Call
 

One Suggestion for Movements in a Shoot


I should clarify that the movements described below as suggestions or a

rough outline subject to individudal interpretation are meant to be

performed nude and to be videotaped. Undines are perhaps the most

politically incorrect creatures on earth. In an instant they can get

inside you, sense you from within, and intimate what it is like to be one

with you. They have no barriers or boundarires much less social identities

to maintain.

   What I am looking for is a really deep meditation in which the woman

becomes an image of the sea, an embodiment of the magnetic fluid. I don't

consider this to be just about art.  I consider it to be necessary for the

survival of the human species. All the same, I also write comedy to

maintain perspective. In magic, you have to know when to maintain your

boundaries and also when to over come them.
