It is intriguing that a young woman, who lived most of her life in a stone Parsonage on top of a hill, looking out over the Yorkshire Moors, has inspired such wonder regarding her inner and outer worlds. But there has long been a fascination for Emily Brontë, as though those touched by her had caught a glimpse of something numinous. For there was a window within her which revealed an incandescent light, shining through her beloved Moors, to realms beyond the physical world. Author and poet, Michèle Bardeaux, offers a unique perspective into Ms. Brontë's life, as after decades of out-of-body and other mystical experiences, she became intimately familiar with a multitude of her incarnations. Through these spiritual experiences, and through her own subconscious memories becoming conscious again, she came to find that the life of the solitary poet on the Yorkshire Moors was indeed one of her own past lives. In her second spiritual memoir, Ms. Bardeaux continues the journey of her previous book, as she travels further back in time, to the life of Ms. Brontë. There she explores the purpose and the passion behind her poetry and prose, and takes a close and sometimes devastating look into the darkness within Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights, and the reason for the depth of that darkness. She also offers insight into some of Ms. Brontë's most misunderstood longings, fears, passions and power; journeying further still, to her life as a Celtic Medicine Woman in Ancient Britain, and delving deeply into the incarnation which closely preceded her life as Emily: that of Emma, Lady Hamilton, an artist's model, actress and opera singer, who lived for many years across from the great volcano, Vesuvius, in Naples. Making sacred pilgrimages from California to the Yorkshire Moors to visit her old home, Ms. Bardeaux transcends the veil between multiple lifetimes, and creates a luminous portal through which to understand Ms. Brontë's intense emotional life, her passionate love of the Moors, and her indomitable determination for freedom in the Victorian Age. Writing of her primal wound at the childhood loss of her Mother, her deep connection to her family and companion animals, as well as her powerful bond with the natural and Spiritual Worlds, Michèle Bardeaux, in honour of the Bicentennial Commemoration, and with a Foreword by Brontë Historian, Ray Tallon of Yorkshire, offers an extraordinary glimpse into the Soul of one of the 19th century's most ethereal and elusive poets.
