Art of Love, Mirror of The Soul
Welcome to my blog on love, connection, mysticism and folklore
What Sleeping Beauty Knows
Beyond the themes of true love, patience, integrity and kindness of heart, there is an underlying thread of the soul’s path towards self-realization and sacred union, including the concepts of soul’s destiny and reincarnation; a reminder of the importance of family support, trusting the sacredness in the unfolding of the unknown and following the desires of the soul regardless of what the future holds. Sleeping Beauty personifies the human soul going through its transformation as fate goes beyond the prediction of sleep…
Eros & Psyche: Soul Connection, Desire, Zephyr, Zahir and Leather
It’s a story of fate, soul connection, trust, loss, purification and redemption.
Eros (desire) and Psyche (soul or breath of life) remind us to breathe life into the desires of our soul; a story of soul meets body, for the purified true love capable of transcending time and space. It is a reminder of the importance of trust & self love first in order to…
What Do You Feed (and Why)? Story of Wolf.
We need to feed them both. Because when one is starved, it will wait around the corner in the shadow and come out craving for attention. Denying parts of ourselves essentially means rejecting ourselves. And anything suppressed becomes our master controlling us. Trust with Wolf. Let it guide you and free you. Peace is the mission…
Truth, Trust, Fear and Freedom
There is uncertainty and fear associated with admitting our truths. In a way, we renounce the security of our known life; of the familiar roles we have built which kept us safe but have now ran their course. Identifying with external things and people provides a false sense of security, but mainly, it causes a separation from our Self…
On Soulmates, Love, Sex & The Purpose of Relationships
If it brings you back to yourself and your true path – the relationship was of higher love and it was meant to be. This is the higher purpose of soulmate relationships. Soulmates act as catalysts; we call in those who…
Relationship Dynamics: Archetypes of Knights, Damsels, Kings and Queens
The knight’s armour symbolizes the shield to vulnerability; it is shining because he hasn’t gone through the emotional transformation yet – he is not emotionally mature. We can’t keep on saving and distressing just to feel needed and avoid true intimacy…
Intuition, Wise Woman, “The Witch Wound” and Honoring The Ancestors
As Scorpio season approaches, we move into the energetic realm of deep emotions, intimacy and ancestral healing; of the ancient women's wisdom that speaks in the still voices within ourselves; of the many secrets trees keep and the truths they know - and will share if...
Exploring The Intimate Relationship
"Two lovers float entwined in one another, ensnared by their emotion. He envelops and engages; she resists and surrenders. They struggle as one with equal passion and with passion equally. She balances his head in her arms. She supports him and nurtures his soul. He...
The Importance of Receiving and Interdependence, as Reminded by The Monks’ Alms
I wonder – how many of us have this kind of trust in the universe; that life will find its way to channel through the right people on our path who will support us; to accept that we will still survive even without our “control”…
Are You His Eyes?
I had the incredible pleasure to collaborate with the brilliant artist and photographer Maira Santos of Silver Photo Journal. “I was wondering what he is thinking about while working. Let me know if you have a story on that.” I did. Right away I felt that I did and wanted to tune in further …
The Beloved’s Wrist & By the Sea: In Positano, Italy
The inside of the forearm always remains so tender – despite age and circumstance. Just above the fragile wrist, is the place where we can trace ourselves back to the very beginning – we can remind ourselves of the tenderness that never changed; of what we forever hold in our hearts despite changes, …
The Art of Loving: Exploring Intimacy and Love
Here I am, with Van Gogh’s “Starry Night Over the Rhône.” I’ve always loved art, though I admit that I usually stroll through the gallery rooms rather quickly. It’s a seeking. A restless seeking until the moment something grabs me, and I am consumed by it. Today, I...
Dear reader, welcome to my space and thank you for being here
Art of Love, Mirror of The Soul is my blog dedicated to connection, mysticism, folklore and my intuitive musings. My intention is to inspire an environment of love, empathy, emotional wellbeing and deepening our connection, so that we lead more spiritually fulfilling lives – by exploring the wisdom and secrets of our world; the beauty beyond the veil and within ourselves.
My name is Lubomira, meaning ‘love and peace; great love’. It is derived from lubov which means ‘love’ and mir ‘peace’. I am a Bulgarian-Canadian writer, poet, humanitarian, intuitive empath, spiritualist, magical creator and author of Moonhold.

Moonhold is a lyrical, mystical, visceral and spiritual exploration of love and vision. Describing emotional landscapes with empathy and precision, the story explores the complexity of human connection and intimacy. A timeless meditation on love as it transcends physical touch into spiritual oneness, and on the strength and fragility of the human spirit as it builds new life from decay.
The title moonhold refers to holding space for love and life through all of its changing phases and uncertainties, as the waning is always held by the waxing. Flowing from one page to the next, all poems are untitled, interchanging minimalism with lyrical free verse to further portray the natural flow of love through all of its movings, stringing together words and perspectives as the necklace of life, inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of Indra’s net of jewels.

❝A truly beautiful and masterful collection of poems.
Beautifully rich and layered; lyrical longer pieces exploring love and separation are woven together with little pieces of heart and soul; the very ribs from the author’s own chest. The tension with which heartbreak is held by hope is exquisite; and told delicately, with profound and kind wisdom. The story gathers around the reader and I think will always be a part of us. I feel quite bereft now it’s finished and sit feeling stragely alone without its accompaniment. A truly beautiful and masterful collection of poems.❞
