A child, two youths, a mother and three crones spin spirals, joining rituals of birth, death and rebirth. Filmed in Mendocino, California, where the water snake appeared on each shooting day, where the river flooded the sand spiral, where earth, air, fire and water met.

"The power and magnitude of this film, imaging the growth and movement of girl child to full womanhood and finally to the stature of goddess, left me feeling deeply and most personally touched."
