The Inspiration for Mooniana came through both my inner world of dreams, visions etc as well as my outer experiences in the external world - my studies at Uni, the people I have met, travelling etc.
The sisters are archetypes from the collective unconscious - they posess attributes which you can find in ordinary people, attributes which you can find in your dremas and imagination and attributes which you can only find in mythology and religion. These attributes respectively are 1- thuman personality attributes, 2 - astral or magical attributes, 3 - archetypal or divine attributes. When I wrote and rewrote the book, the six sisters, the Muses ebbodied all three attributes at once. The third and last section of the book is the most DIFFICULT for readers to understand, because here the six sisters are coming out of their human and astral cocoons and imbibing archetypal or divine qulaities - they are literally becoming Goddesses and are each incarnating a portion of the Wisdom of the Goddess Sahkti- Sophia into the Kore of Mother Earth and the collective Group Soul of humanity.
I can understand that people find this very difficutl to understand - I have written this section and don't really understand it fully myself!!!!!
I sometimes just say that writing a book like this is like dreaming awake - the characters just come to life by themselves and do whatever the Hell they like with me and each other..
In any case here is a list of all six sisters
Brief Biography of our Magical Heroine
The White Witch MOONIANA
Siren Nr.1
This lovely picture looks just like our starry eyed and dreamy heroine the Siren- Muse Mooniana. In our novel, Mooniana's human identity is Liv von Sommer. She is a teenage girl who hangs out in a boarding school with her younger sister Pia learning all the skills of poetry, the flute, astanga yoga and communing with her angel of earth on wind and wind on earth. She is a dreamy, loving and magical Faery child, whose links with the elemental kingdom of faery are so strong and profound that she can go out of her physical body and mingle her astral spirit soul with the magical beings of the deva world and Mother Earth herself. She is also a little bit of a White Witch - that's why she is always wearing a pentacle star around her neck and carrying her book of magic incantations, poems and spells.
Liv von Sommer or Mooniana is one of those Indigo children who have incarnated on this planet to help us in our spiritual evolution and to overcome all the piles of negative karma which we have built up over many generations. She resonates very closely with the archetype of Athena the Greek Goddess of Wisdom (hence the owl sitting on her shoulder) and the Hindu goddess Mother Saraswati. In the mythic element of the novel, she is the incarnation of the heavenly Muse Euterpe - the Muse of Lyric Poetry and the Flute -
and her father is the Ruler of gods and men Zeus and her mother is Mnemosyne, the Goddess of Memory. Mnemosyne's mother is Mother Earth, Gaia herself.
Gaia of course is the Mother of everyone of us - indeed of every living creature on the planet. And, it is the central message of our book that future human evolution and growth can ONLY take place if and when, humanity begins to closely work with the deva kingdom and its channels and oracles like Mooniana.
Biography of the Starchild Fuchsia.
Siren Nr. 2
In her human shape Fuchsia is Mooniana's little sister Pia von Sommer. Like her big sister Liv, she is an orphan living at Albatross Boarding School near Lake Vattern Sweden. She is an Indigo child like Liv, only her gifts lie in painting and weaving. Unlike Pia, she is not a flying, dreamy faery child but a melancholic elf girl who creates and paints from the depths of ner existential angst and pain. From her pain however, she creates works of art of the most exquisite beauty.
Fuchsia totally dotes on big sister Mooniana and when Mooniana leaves for a one year pilgrimage trip to India with her other sister Loreley (Lærke Wind), Fuchsia is desolate. So she pours out her sadness in her final year project on, of all things, the links between Bollywood cinema and the ancient Vedic tradition of the nine Rasas from the Natyashastra.
In the deeper symbolism of our story, Fuchsia is the Muse of Astronomy Urania. And she resonates with the energy of the Greek Goddess Persephone and the Tantric Wisdom Goddess Smashan Tara. And, when big sister Liv finally returns from India, Pia is waiting for her. And, before the final Joining of the six sisters, she and Liv, her beloved Mooniana, arrange a secret magic Joining of their own. In that Joining, they share all the secrets of their hearts and souls, along with their respective angels of Water (Pia-Love) and Starlight (Liv-Imagination).
A Brief Bio of of the little Sea-Maid Ondine.
Siren Nr. 3
Ondine is the Siren of the Dance. In her human shape, Ondine is the temperamental and passionate Joanne Voegrin. Joanne is a student of Grotowsky and ritual theatre living in Copenhagen. Seeking desperately to find the kore of her soul's Wisdom element, she is introduced to the Teacher Paul Vallidin and his Yoga Nidra Tantric performance group. She falls in love with Paul immediately and so begins a long process of existential pain and soul searching as she tries to find unity with her own Wisdom and that of her soulmate.
Eventually, her and Paul find unity with the Goddess through the Great Joining between them both and the other five sisters. Through the Joining, the sisters plan to fuse their souls together in the sacred bath of Mother Wisdom. In this way, they plan to bring Sophia and the New Gnosis into the collective group soul of the Earth and humanity.
The Joining is not without its hiccups however, as during the ritual the sisters' Choice, Paul Vallidin finally and very publically reveals his deep and everlasting love for the youngest and most charming of the sisters Mooniana. The entire ritual is about to fall to pieces when Mooniana tames Ondine's fury and jealousy with her irresistible and hypnotic innocence and charm. Taking her sisters by the hand, Ondine enters the sacred pool of the Goddess and their Joining in the bath of Mother Wisdom is complete.
On the archetypal levels of our novel, Ondine is the heavenly Muse of the dance Terpsichore. Like the other sisters, her Father is Zeus and her Mother the Mnemosyne. She resonates with the Hellenic Goddess
Artemis-Diana and the Hindu Warrior Goddess Mother Durga and in Tantric Wisdom she symbolizes the fifth of the Maha Vidyas Bhairavi..
A Brief Biography of Big Sister Afranella
Siren Nr.4
As Mooniana is one of the little sister Sirens, Afranella is "big sister." Her human identity is Christiane Hildegaard Wulff. She is the femme fatale of the six Siren Muses and along with being extremely gifted with the harp and lyre, she is also the patron of various schools and Yoga institutions dedicated to the spreading of the teachings of Sophia-Shakti and the practises of Tantric Yoga.. Mooniana and her little sister attend one of these boarding schools, called Albatross.
Afranella has dedicated much of her creative genius and fortune to these projects and her harp playing. But due to her romantic and erotic nature, she is often distracted by her passionate longings and desires to merge with the Goddess in the perfect moment of orgasmic love - at that moment when everything you wish from the universe is in harmony with everything the universe wishes for you. She finds this moment of absolute erotic bliss in the romantic city of Heidelberg when she meets her latest lover Franz Abel. And, carried away by the frenzy of their love affair, Afranella is totally overshadowed by the Muse of the harp Erato and plays the concert of her life.
Like Mooniana and the other sisters, Afranella is a Muse, one of the daughters of the Ruler of gods and men, the Almighty Zeus and the Mother of the Muses, Mnemosyne. And, as the femme fatale of our novel, Afranella resonates very closely with the archetype of the Goddess of Love Venus- Astarte and the Goddess of Wealth and Fortune, the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi-Devi.
In this picture, she is wearing her Faery Princess crown and the red roses of her love and passion are scattered about her bare feet. She is fantasising about her lover and wondering when he will come and the delights of Tantric bliss they shall experience when he arrives.
Franz Abel was her Choice for the six sisters, but he is not a choice the other sisters necessarily agree with. There is another candidate for the Muses' patronage and that is Paul Vallidin - Ondine's Choice. To find out which of the two finally win the sisters' favour, you will have to read our book Mooniana and the Secret of the Lost Chronicles of Sophia. Just follow our Amazon Author link --

Short Bio of Mad Circe-Kastanja
Siren Nr. 4
In her human shape the Siren Muse Kastanja is Marliz Wullf, the younger sister of Christaine Wulff. But just as Christiane represents the sensual and light side of the Goddess, Marliz embodies her darkness and madness. She is the director and producer of Achamoth Productions, a film company dedicated to alternative avant agarde films about the Goddess in her form as Sophia Nigrans, Hecate and Kali. In her youth, she is said to have run away from her family in India with a Tantric Witch of the aghori cult by name of Tara Bhairavi. From Tara she learnt the left hand path of Tantra concentrating on the Maha Vidya goddesses Bhadra Kali and Chinnamasta.
In the archetypal symbolism of our narrative, Kastanja is the Muse of Tragedy Melpomene. And she resonates closely with the Greek Goddess Hecate and the Hindu Goddess Kali. She is the only one of the six sisters who has rebelled openly against their father Zeus and the Olympians - and, having been initiated into the dark occult world of Kali and Hecate she possesses an arcane secret power from Mother Gaia, the Earth herself - it is a power which the Ruler of gods and men himself fears. If and when she decides to use this arcane power, the precarious balance of the world as we know it will be shattered forever.
It is a power that Circe-Kastanja has brought to the sisters' Joining. And she will share the secret of it with the sisters' Choice, the Teacher Paul Vallidin - said to have functioned as her Tantric partner during her days with the aghori WitchTara-Bhairavi.
See what happens to Kastanja's mortal enemy the Ruler, and the institutions of his world, when this arcane power of the Dark Goddess Kali is channelled into the Earth and the group soul of humanity.

The six Sirens from MOONIANA and the Secret of the Lost Chronicles of Sophia.
Siren nr.6, the Magnolia Queen Loreley
Loreley is the most transcendental and spiritual of all the sisters, which is why we have represented her by the beautiful blooming Magnolia flower. In her human form Loreley's name is Lærke Wind and she is a devout spiritual seeker, who has made pilgrimages to holy places in India like Haridwar, Varanasi and Rishikesh. Here, she has gained spiritual enlightenment through her studies of Vedic Wisdom and has awakened her Heart Chakra through long nights of singing devotional bhajans to her beloved Goddess Ganga and Syamasundara Krishna. Like Mooniana, she has a very fond affection for the Vaishnava tradition of Radha and Krishna and eventually, when Mooniana is old enough, they go on pilgrimage to India together to complete their spiritual awakening.
Loreley is a wonderful and enormously talented singer, but refuses to sell herself out to record companies who want to exploit her beautiful singing voice for profit. Instead she withdraws to a communal farm in Bergen with her friend Kjersti to hear the song of the Earth's beauty and pain and compose and sing music from her deepest kore - it will be music that will not only heal her own soul, but also the world soul of the planet - opening up the Earth's Cosmic Heart Chakra so that she can channel the light of Mother Wisdom Sophia into the group soul of humanity.
Loreley is the embodiment of the Heavenly Muse of sacred choral hymns - Polyhymnia. In Greek myth she represents Demeter and in Hindu iconography she is Ganga. Her most important rite of passage occurs at the communal farm in Bergen when she goes out of her body and dreams that the heavenly Akasha Ganga has flooded down to the Earth - to cleanse the city of Copenhagen of all its worldly ignorance, pride and gross materialism. When Mother Ganga floods the city, all the great statues of the nobles, philosophers and angels come to life and proclaim a new Cosmic order for the world.
This order is the new Dharma of the Universe and is part of the Great Adjustment which will assist the Earth and humanity in its evolution from its current consciousness based on the Solar Plexus Chakra - and raising it into the higher state of cosmic awareness resonating from the Anahata heart chakra. When this occurs, the world's present patriarchal models and institutions based on ego, control and power will be replaced by models and institutions based on the Love and Wisdom streaming from Sophia-Shakti and the Divine Feminine.
Throughout the book Loreley attempts to manifest this vision of universal love and Wisdom into reality. And at the end of the novel, her deeply rooted love for the sacred truth in all religious paths is channelled, together with the other impusles of the sisters into the great ritual of cosmic renewal and rebirth known as the Joining.
The sisters are archetypes from the collective unconscious - they posess attributes which you can find in ordinary people, attributes which you can find in your dremas and imagination and attributes which you can only find in mythology and religion. These attributes respectively are 1- thuman personality attributes, 2 - astral or magical attributes, 3 - archetypal or divine attributes.
