This edition pairs Servants of the Flower World (Books I–II): with Mystery Stone: Analyzed with Eastern Woodland Cosmology.


A spirit-storm shatters the Flower of Life and a band of questers crosses into the inverted Flower World—where beauty and danger entwine, and service, not conquest, guides the way. Alongside it stands a field study of a tablet-shaped quartz cobblestone found near the Shenandoah River, read through Eastern Woodland cosmology: peck-marked designs, tripartite cosmos (Overworld/This World/Underworld), and archetypal figures such as the avian-man, skeletal shaman, and Earth Mother. Presented wholecloth and in dialogue, the two works let readers experience a myth reborn while examining the ground that helped guide it—offering a map-guided inspiration.
