Christine Li
Words | hypnotic | for Women
I am Christine, physician and mythopoetic author.
My novels are initiations.
They reconnect women with forgotten medicine, forbidden magic, and the dark art of remembrance.
The Abalone Cycle follows Abalone, a Chinese healer and shaman whose voice and power were taken by a curse.
Disempowerment, once a survival strategy, became our inheritance. Now, the time of recall has come.
I dedicate these stories to all women who dare to end their silence and summon back what was lost.
Alongside the novels, I write letters and essays for the Inanna Circle — a gathering of women reinventing the feminine and the magical through language, ritual, and awareness.
Language is my medicine.
As I once explored healing through the body, I now do so through words that shift perception and make the invisible tangible.
Between mountains and sea, I live with three cats — the scent of books, mostly Chinese, of oud and Daoist wisdom lingering.
