When the dark muse comes calling, will you turn to stone or resurface?

The Reckoning is a poetic exploration of our relationship with Faith, Hope and Trust, when it

seems nothing outside is materialising, despite our ‘faithful’ commitment to ‘inner work’.

The Reckoning is for you, who went all in with the feathers, incense and tarot cards. For you, who took the leap, expecting the riches of the Light and was instead met by She, the inner ‘dark’ voice who was still living inside you, even though you thought you were SO spiritual.

In The Reckoning, author Sophie Leone surrenders her personal story to the inner dark muse and her spiky, no-nonsense energy, giving her free rein to unearth and express the ‘hidden in the body’ truths as we bear witness to the weight of unmet expectations.

The dark muse and her mirror inviting the questions:

How much do I REALLY trust this journey on Earth?

Can I speak to the breaking of that trust?

How daring can I be with the darkness, the ‘mean, too-much stuff’ I feel but no one really says?

What does holding the faith mean in those moments when nothing outside seems to be materialising?

How much do I really believe in what I am doing?

How do I choose to show up and what do I choose to be taught?

The Reckoning offers support as the creative, empowering voice emerging through the pages,

fiercely holding, guiding and loving your dark muse, all the way from the glorious stickiness back to LOVE.

  • “The Reckoning has seen me, opened me, called me back to everything. It isn’t just the words, the beauty of them, the honesty of them, the humour with them, it’s the energy behind the words, the truth with which they’ve been written, curated and birthed. A glorious testament to life, faith and humanity. Incredible.”

    Nicola

  • “This book is a true gift. The truth of the words leads the reader to stop, think, laugh, cry and be enlightened. So much thought, searching and wisdom has been condensed into this little book. It’s a gem.”

    Kathryn

  • “Poetic, quirky, topical, nostalgic... All this against the background of spirituality. The Reckoning is a true diary of soul.”

    Elodie

  • “Hits all the right nerves. The loss of magic and trust, the wondering what the hell, the emptiness, trying to go on. I am feeling it all.”
