Cherry Gilchrist is an award-winning author whose themes include mythology, alchemy, life stories, esoteric traditions, and Russian culture. She is a graduate of Cambridge University, and holds a post-graduate diploma from the University of Bath Spa.

Her broad range of titles covers books both for adults and children, such as the popular Stories from the Silk Road, the well-known Alchemy, the Great Work, and  the ground-breaking Circle of Nine, about feminine archetypes and how they integrate with the everyday lives of women.

The Circle of Nine: An Archetypal Journey to Discover the Divine Feminine Within is being launched by Weiser Books in a new, expanded and updated edition. Publication Sep 2018. Available for pre-order on Amazon and other book-selling sites.

Many years of visiting Russia to research traditional culture there resulted in The Soul of Russia, also published as Russian Magic. Another recent book, Growing Your Family Tree, is a guide to discovering personal roots and family history, and explores the place of ancestry in our lives. It follows Your Life, Your Story: Writing your Life Story for Family and Friends, reflecting Cherry’s long-standing interest in personal narratives (see Books page for publishers and full details). And Cherry's book Tarot Triumphs, on the symbolism of the traditional Tarot cards, was published in 2016.

She lives in Topsham, near Exeter UK, with her husband, artist Robert Lee-Wade. Not forgetting Zaq and Cassie - two black cats for good luck!
