The stories in this book center around the energy of the 1570s near the river Thames in West London - a time and place that somewhat birthed modern-day capitalism, gave rise to the energy of patriarchy, and contributed to the death of alchemy. They speak of the intelligence of the land and the wisdom of the body, the dogmatic aspect of religion, the oppressive nature of political systems, unhealthy masculine energy, abuse of power, misuse of wealth, and the fear of the deep and ancient intuition that runs through all of life. The questions that mattered then matter now.

James Pierson Beckwourth (1798-1866) was a fur trader and explorer born into slavery in Virginia. He moved to the West, and as a fur trapper, he lived with the Crow for years. He is credited with the discovery of Beckwourth Pass through the Sierra Nevada Mountains during the California Gold Rush era.
