With the Age of Aquarius dawning, six friends connected by ancient wisdom, spiritual revelation, past lives, and sexual alchemy discover the connections between seemingly disconnected events--environmental collapse, schisms in the Catholic Church, the refugee crisis, political breakdown in the United States, the shift out of the age of oil to the high-tech economy, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The characters, as well as readers, experience moving out of fear-based 4th-dimensional consciousness to the higher dimensions. The story begins in Florence, Italy, at an art soirée in honour of Armando Pierleoni's visionary painting of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. In addition to the six friends--Armando, his photographer wife Jennifer, New York Times journalist Simon, his mystical wife Sarah, Jungian analyst Lorenzo, and exotically beautiful and astrologically insightful Claudia--the dinner party also includes Alessandro de Medici, later revealed to be a master alchemist, and Jesuit priest Father Giorgio Faccini, the Vatican archivist and a covert agent for the Church's secret agenda. In the months following the soirée, political tension builds in Rome, Washington, and the Middle East. Armando struggles with his muse, and Simon is diagnosed with cancer. The US Justice Department goes after the Church, and the truth about sexual abuse is revealed globally. What the Age of Aquarius will bring is becoming apparent as the pace of change challenges the characters. As the Aquarian vibrations intensify, Claudia sees the astrological factors at play behind the multitude of crises hitting the world stage and then Covid-19 hits Italy. In the rapidly escalating tension, the deepest fears and greatest joys of the characters' lives are revealed. Armando has a spiritual breakthrough and high initiation with Lorenzo in his tower, and the friends discover alchemical keys and the perennial wisdom--long suppressed by the Church--that will help humanity transcend. Barbara Hand Clow's novel offers readers a nine-dimensional initiation encoded in visionary fiction that is a celebration for the arrival of the Aquarian Age.
