The Curious Magic of Buckeye Groves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502585035)

Maura McCarley is an author of both non-fiction and fantasy. The "Curious Magic of Buckeye Groves" is her first fiction novel. Mythology, fairy tales, mysticism and the esoteric have always fascinated her. Maura has longed for magic all her life and so often found it by being swept away in a fantasy story. She believes that once upon a time humans had greater access to the non-physical realities, but have chosen to ignore them. The explosion of fantasy books, movies and games is a sign of our longing for what is missing in our world. Maura writes to create a world where magic is possible once again and where the human heart leads. Maura has an MA in Women's Spirituality from New College of California. She was drawn to this pioneering program to explore the sacred feminine. Her work is inspired by her relationship with the divine feminine, nature, her experiences as a mystic and her work as a certified Co-Active Coach.
