She has also written The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life. Her website is www.kamlak.com.

Here she points out that the High Middle Ages, starting around 1000 AD, represented an awakening from the Dark Ages when Europe was dominated by the repressive policies of the Church. Stories of the Holy Grail inspired Europeans with a new sense of reverence for the feminine and a quest for the spiritual. Building the great cathedrals, full of esoteric symbolism, became the major economic activity of the era.
