Product Description

The ancient legend of Child/Mother/Crone, handed down from the matriarchs of old, represents the three aspects of the feminine consciousness. The child symbolizes innocence. The Mother symbolizes the "nurturing" nature in all women. the Crone represents the wisdom of the elder within. Every woman possesses this beautiful and fulfilling "trined" nature.

What if two of these unique aspects of the feminine consciousness could separately manifest and communicate with one another? What would the Child and Crone have to say to each other? What secrets would they share?

Trined in Twilight is the story of "Little Self," a precocious six-year-old girl who ventures into the woods at twilight to discover "Granny's" cottage and spends a day filled with mystical wonderment.

The interaction between the wise old woman and the child full of wonder captures the sublime emotion we experience when looking into the eyes of a loved one and seeing the reflected essence of ourselves.

Hundreds of thousands of readers remember Mary Summer Rain's Spirit Song as a timeless classic. Now, Mary rekindles that very same light and joy of magical adventure and spiritual discovery in Trined in Twilight, a profound reading experience that will be warmly remembered for years.


Reviews


I loved it.
Mary did a wonderful job weaving all of the aspects of the feminine persona into this tale, and the "pearls of wisdom" that she was able to impart were really great. I love this author and have yet to find one of her books less than captivating.

Trined in Twilight
Each of us is made up of three parts: who we are now; the Child Within (who we were); and the Wise Old One (who we will be). The Wise Old One is also known as our Higher Self. Trined in Twilight, Mary Summer Rain's latest book, is the account of a very special meeting between her three selves.

The Wise Old One, Granny, age 94, and the Child, Little Self, a precocious six-year-old, meet at twilight. Although the clock shows the passage of time during their lengthy conversation, the twilight lingers until it's time for them to part.

The two talk about a huge variety of subjects. Little Self is full of questions which Granny answers as best she can, imparting wisdom and patience as she does. They also spend time doing things together, like making orange pomanders, as well as simply sitting in companionable silence.

Whether, talking, working, or sitting, love permeates every moment of their visit.

In Trined in Twilight, Summer Rain, an internationally renowned visionary author, provides "a spell-binding conversation between [the three] aspects of the feminine consciousness that explores issues directly affecting the spiritual lives of all women and the potential of human consciousness." Readers will find it compelling and enlightening.


Noble effort that falls flat
I went into to reading this book with an open mind, and was disappointed. The writer could have easily used this medium for more than self promotion. While I sympathize with her about her obvious problems with critics it detracts horribly from the work itself. There were very thoughtful sections of the book that were highly thought provoking but they were few and far between. Sorry if this offends the author, (as it will surely disturb "Little Self") but I am your audience and my opinion does matter.

High wisdom conveyed with childlike simplicity
Summer Rain always suggested that spiritual "truths"were easy to understand,simple.In this wonderful, treasure of a book Mary covers many seemingly"complex"issues and illustrates through her story How These are NOT complex,confusing..but the mere "nature of reality"in it's purest form.Even an openminded child could understand!The "story?" is engrossing(I read in a few hours)Cant put down!Like Mary's other books....you can read over and over.To those searching for truth,meaning,understanding....a must read!
