MAIN INTERESTs - Romantic Poetry, Classic literature, Gnosticism, Eco-Feminism, Faery lore, Gaia-Awareness, cults of the Mother Goddess and Pantheism.
CREATIVE WRITING SOURCES - From her youth Miranda's passion for creative writing, music and art, along with her fascination with the philosophical and the spiritual, have always been totally inseparable. Coupled with her study and practise of the esoteric Wisdoms of Hermetic Magicke, Gnosticism and Shaktism, Miranda also nurtures a passion for English Romantic poetry, fairytales, Greek myth and Hindu and Celtic lore.
MAJOR LITERARY INFLUENCES - Many of her major literary and occult influences are from the 19th century: such as Dion Fortune (Moon Magic and The Mystical Qabalah), the Romantic poets like Keats, Coleridge, Blake and Byron and THE fantasy and fairytale writers like Lewis Carrol and George Macdonald. At the same time, Miranda's work is strongly influenced by the hard-line existentialist writers of the post-modern and Magic Realist School, such as Peter Brook (Mahabharata), Salman Rushdie (The Satanic Verses), and Amitav Ghosh (The Calcutta Chromosone).
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND - Miranda has also completed a Master's degree and PhD in Bollywood film and Hindu cultural studies from Copenhagen University. Her field of expertise not only embraces the song and dance genre of Indian cinema, but the ancient Vedic dance and theatre tradition of the Natyashastra and the Rasa-Lila devotional tradition of Gita Govinda and the Srimad Bhagavatam.
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS - In her spare time, Miranda plays folk guitar, sings and composes her own songs and music.
PURPOSE OF WRITING - The purpose of her writing is to help awaken the dormant spark of divine consciousness slumbering in humanity and restoring the lost impulse of Sophia Wisdom and Gnosis Self Knowledge in the collective Group Soul of the Race - according ot the Greek maxim of MAN KNOW THYSELF.
At present Miranda lives in Copenhagen Denmark by the sea. Here, in-between the black and white sparkles of the Moonlit ocean, she hears the Siren's song in the Kore of her soul and hearkens to the whispers of the Earth, as she writes down all their secrets for her book - MOONIANA AND THE SECRET OF THE LOST CHRONICLES OF SOPHIA.
