Elyn Aviva is a writer and fiber artist with a life-long interest in myth and spiritual quest. With her husband, Gary White, she has published a series called "Powerful Places in ...". These guidebooks provide detailed information for transformative travel to sacred sites and powerful places in Europe and Malta. One of these guidebooks, Powerful Places in Brittany, involved extensive research in the areas described in Melita's Quest for the Grail. Elyn's Ph.D. in cultural anthropology (Princeton University 1985) focused on the modern Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain. Her book Following the Milky Way (2nd edition) was the first modern account by an American about walking the 500-mile-long pilgrimage trail. She also has a Master in Divinity (Iliff School of Theology 1997) and has studied a number of spiritual paths, including Sufism, Western Esoteric traditions, Kabbalah, and shamanism. Elyn has written a number of articles, books, and novels, including Where Heaven and Earth Unite - Powerful Places, Sacred Sites, and You, co-authored with Ferran Blasco, and The Question - a Magical Fable.
