Description

Hildegard von Bingen, twelfth-century Rhineland mystic, was one of Earth's most evolved and visionary individuals. Her alchemical weaving of earth and sky, water and fire in MYSTICAL VISIONS (formerly titled SCIVIAS) is a magnificent fusion of divine inspiration and human intellect. As a visionary record, MYSTICAL VISIONS is perhaps the most complete and powerful documentation of mystical breakthrough in recorded history. Hildegard's work influenced thousands during her lifetime and was highly respected in religious scientific political and artistic circles. After her death the ecclesiastical authorities suppressed it. Now, after 800 years, these visions are again available to those open to the reawakening of mystical consciousness.

Reviews
