“Come out for an evening of poetry by Christine Berger!

For Blessing of the Sun, published July 2012:

This is the first published volume of Christine Berger’s poetry. She started writing around age fifty, never having picked up a pen (or keyboard) before that. As a practicing witch for 26 years, and a practitioner of eclectic spiritual paths through her lifetime, from Buddhism to Golden Dawn, writing provides a safety valve for emotional release and a way of sharing for a strong introvert. An identification with Nature and Gaia as Mother, as well as peak experiences from spiritual practice and the blessing of a strong community provide much of the inspiration for her poems.

For Invocations and Other Love Songs, published May 2014:

This is the second published volume of Christine Berger’s poetry. It is the result of Hermes stepping into her life in bright living color April of 2012. Groundwork for that had been laid in February at Pantheacon, where many gathered to talk about serving the community as His priests and priestesses. Her life changed. The opening prayer to Hermes was the first encounter, and given when she was on lunch break driving near work. There were following occasions where He came with more energy than she had imagined and stood hyperventilating over her kitchen sink. This was just the beginning… Many of the invocations and poems are channeled. Some from her Higher Self who was in the driver’s seat constantly and some by the Deities, and other Beings. She asked for clearance from all involved before bringing this book out.”
