Hildegard Von Bingen's Mystical Visions

Hildegard of Bingen lived, studied, and wrote in the 12th century, but her works survive to inspire modern seekers of mystical truths. Translated from the original Latin (these works were titled SCIVIAS, short for "know the way of the Lord") by Bruce Hozeski, HILDEGARD VON BINGEN'S MYSTICAL VISIONS presents her revelations to a new audience. This collection makes the centuries-old visions sound current while communicating not only Hildegard's holy insight, but also her intellectual accomplishments. Her visions feel both fresh and hallowed, with beautiful, haunting images followed by the saint's interpretations and explications. The otherworldly experiences and writings of this early mystical scholar had a major influence during her own time, both in the religious and secular spheres. Hozeski brings Hildegard's inspiration into the 21st century without losing any of the ancient meaning and flair.
