Questions for Werewolves: A Creative Nonfiction of Madness, Witch and Daimon

QUESTIONS FOR WEREWOLVES is an odyssey of bipolar depression, inspired by Greek underworld myths and world religion. In 1998, while I am working on a film in Los Angeles, mysterious omens and voices begin to invade my everyday life. When I hear about the murder of a stranger in my hometown. I'm gripped by the premonition of the death of a woman I once knew. My sanity collapses. But the wild voices and the depression never go away. I put my faith in these voices and follow the gods. A wolf appears as a dream guide. I travel as a stranger across cultures and continents, to seek out the Black Virgin, the enigmatic madonna of many names. Here, my voices ferment in our common shadows, doubts, and visionary religious mystery. Blending with world religion, the Greek myths may become song-lines into dream time. Through the white fire of their divine names -- Persephone, Artemis, Dionysos and others -- to seek and find the daimon. This is an intimate testimony to the soul's mystery that meets us in depression and bipolar depression. It explores openings in personal and ancestral memory to our visions and voices that speak to the most lunar, spiritual yearnings of the heart -- for divine love and indestructible life.
