HYVAH: Imagine a world in which every woman is free of subjugation and violence.…

by D.D. Did, Davina Realm (Editor)

“In the beginning,” the hieroglyphics carved into the granite stone said, “there was no light. From the maelstrom storm of creation came light but the light was not good light. Then from the burning fire pits of lava and Earth making volcanoes came HYVAH, who was EVE and the demon temptress LILITH. Hyvah made the light good light and from the light of Hyvah came all light. Then from the darkness of the heavens came GABRIEL, who from the clays of white-hot dirt made A’ADAM who was ADAMAH who was ADAM. In the goodness of Hyvah’s light, Gabriel saw Hyvah’s garden world, Gabriel desired Hyvah’s world to be his world…”

HYVAH reimagines the genetic history of humankind through six individual storylines intrinsically linked through two principle characters - the archangel Gabriel and his feminine protagonist Hyvah - Hyvah being the imagined prehistoric name of biblical Eve, Jewish/Mesopotamian Lilith and Islamic’s Hawwāh. Each of these are combined into one immortal heroi character who predates both established scientific palaeontology and contemporary religious history.

Hyvah first emerges when Earth is created through geological-planetary evolution over four-billion years ago. Each storyline narrative proceeds to introduce one heroic male character standing alongside descendant Hyvah bloodline personas who wield unearthly mystical abilities to strike against the violence and domination of men. The six separate narratives build the cornerstone that Hyvah is the genetic link to the prehistoric evolution of the human race, that Earth is Hyvah’s geological garden-world stolen by Adam then falsely claimed as the fabled Garden of Eden by Abrahamic prophets, historical prophets who themselves transcend into the tribes of Israel.

Though Hyvah is a fictional character, her scintillating existence is genetically linked to humanity’s beginning - posing the question of what if the male of our species was created through the congenital female gene. And what if Hyvah’s bloodline kin reclaim Hyvah’s world? What if the conquering female gender of our race evolves into the dominant human species? And what if humankind’s omnipotent creator was a feminine entity…?

HYVAH is available in both ebook and paperback formats.

Reviews

[D.D. Did · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an updated and much edited version of Magdalena’s Bones, there are new storylines and updated endings. All of these add up to a superb read, five-hundred and eighty pages and I completed it in four days - and I am planning to read it all again. If this heroine Hyvah did indeed exist then we have a mesmerising and thought-provoking enigma to ponder whenever womanhood is discredited by the violent and subjugating male of our species.

[Sandra Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an exceptional novel, if this woman Hyvah ever existed then the emancipation of the female race would be a foregone conclusion. Excellent character roles and well written by a talented author.

Excellent read, thoroughly enjoyed this book. The female characters are so inspiring, even if they don’t exist. Fabulous storytelling by a talented writer.
