Tanya Goes Hiking

After yet another romantic collapse, two entities seem to take up residence in Tanya. Those who “see” claim she has no guardian angels, and the reason stretches back to past incarnations. There are only two ways to be saved—remember former lives or find a spiritual mentor. Her everyday life turns into an exhausting war for sleep and clarity of mind: she wanders the streets for hours so that at night she can fall into oblivion for at least a couple of hours.

And then chance changes everything: her gaze catches on a bus stop the advertisement for an exhibition of the works of Roerich. The painting “Mother of the World” hits straight in the heart— the woman under the veil feels frighteningly familiar. Tanya goes to the exhibition, and the feeling of recognition hits again: these mountains, these outlines— as if she had been there before. Back home, she spends nights searching the internet, reading about the fate and path of the Roerichs—until she stumbles upon an announcement about a hiking tour to the foot of Belukha: “The Roerich Path.” Her fingers press “pay” on their own.

What will the mountains bring her—freedom from uninvited entities, love and a meeting with that very person, healing of the family line, or the long-awaited return to her true self? Answers are in this book.
