Ristin tie: Runoja

A collection of lyric and narrative poems moves between mystical symbolism and natural imagery to trace a spiritual journey from trial and purification toward illumination and creative renewal. Recurring motifs include a sacred chalice, the cross, the creative Word, and the interplay of spirit and matter, while other pieces contemplate death, resurrection, the presence of light in darkness, earth as mother, and visionary voyages among the stars. Voices shift among devotional meditation, allegorical instruction, and mythic evocation, drawing on folk motifs to examine inner transformation, the seeker’s duty, and the regenerative power of poetic imagination.
