Gloria Piper asked Stefan Emunds:

I'm astounded at the depth of your knowledge in God Child. It must have taken years to learn and gather. Have you experienced any of this or is it all only the result of research?

Stefan Emunds I owe most of my knowledge to B.O.T.A., a spiritual organization that teaches the mysteries of Tarot, Hermetic Qabalah, Alchemy, and Astrology via weekly lessons sent to members by mail. I joined B.O.T.A. when I was around 22 years old, so yes, it took me 28 years to get where I'm now. To write God Child took 12 years. I'd like to add that three years ago I discovered a mechanical translation of the Tanakh (the Old Testament), by Jeff Benner. This allowed me to re-engineer Biblical symbolism. That was quite an exciting phase of the work, actually :-). Much of what I discovered in the mechanical translation I wove into the God Child narrative. I also added some of my own life experiences, however, George's visions are not mine. In this respect, God Child remains a work of fiction. Having said that, I carefully chose visions verified by at least two source and preferably with cross-cultural references, making sure these visions are verifiable, spiritual experiences.
