Lilith
Follow Lilith, our feisty heroine, through a single day as she engages in conversations with her guardian nature spirits and makes realizations about relationships, love, and her childhood. This transcendent story takes us on a trip through flashbacks, memories, and dreams inspired by a chance meeting with a man in an Italian Market cheese shop. Take a Sunday stroll with the pair through the streets of South Philadelphia and listen in on their conversation. Time skews as parallel universes collide, creating a tight folding-in upon itself like the creases of a well-crafted burrito. Stories within stories are woven with reckless abandon until every moment converges as a single point in space. All existence magically becomes the present moment, proving that there is no such thing as time.

About the author
Ambika Devi
7 books26 followersAmbika Devi is an international award-winning, best-selling author, speaker, scholar, mythologist, mystagogue, astrologer, and lifelong researcher of the human mind and consciousness. Known as the Mind-Tamer, she has spent a lifetime exploring a question that first captured her imagination in childhood: What does it mean to be human?
A teacher of yoga and meditation since 1978, Ambika spent twenty-one years as a professor of Holistic Health and curriculum developer. Her work bridges Eastern philosophy and Western thought, drawing from yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, Advaita Vedānta, mythology, astrology, sound and the human voice.
Her seventh book, Mythic Alchemy, explores Navarasa—the nine emotions—through the stories of Ganesha, yoga philosophy, meditation, Ayurveda, and embodied practices for emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Her other books span mythology, fiction, poetry, relationships, personal transformation, and the Goddess.
Her novel, Lilith, received two honors in the 2015 International Book Awards, and Unfolding Happiness was named one of the Top 100 Indie Published Books of 2016. She was named one of the 50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading in 2017 and received the mARTies award for Best Literary Artist in 2018.
Ambika brings scholarship, storytelling, humor, and decades of lived practice to her writing and teaching. Her backpack is rarely without colored pens, a journal, a Kindle, and a deck of Tarot cards.
