Inspired by events in her own life, Melissa infuses poetry, prose and shamanic-style guided journeys to connect you with the elements (earth, air, fire and water), gently invoking the Wild Woman within you to rise along the way. This empowering collection is an invitation to come home to yourself, to acknowledge your own wisdom and a way to rediscover to your power.

Embers Beneath the Stars is our story.
From heart-opening, to alchemy and everything in between.
All those beautiful, messy, passionate, wild moments, are a part of our journey.

This poetry and guided journey collection is dedicated to the Wild Souls.
For all the times that we have felt alone on our journey.
For the magick that we are finding and creating.
May we continue to rise together. Hearts open, amidst any storm.

"When I feel lost,
cast into the mists,
adrift in the night,
with only the stars for company,
I surrender to my ritual,
into my body, my heart, my root.
This is all I have.
All I am.
A Woman,
born from the ashes,
an ember beneath the stars.
At home in the flame."

Melissa Chiara is a Weaver of Words, a writer, a Podcast host, and the creator of ROOT + WEAVE, an empowering and vulnerable space that calls upon your soul to remember just how powerful you are.
