About the author of The Night Dance Tetralogy: Kory Wynykom

Born in Northern Europe during a time when the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Vietnam War, the Prague Spring, and the '68 movement dominated world headlines, Kory studied Social Sciences and English two decades later.

During her university years, she took some time off to backpack around Australia, exploring New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. It was an incredibly impactful journey that greatly broadened her perspective. Shortly after the millennium, she moved to London in the United Kingdom for half a decade, where she experienced a busy life in a melting pot of contrasts and extremes.

I am the mother of a wonderful, now grown-up young person whom I love dearly and who, like each of us, has come into this world with his own issues and challenges.

Love you, hon! xoxo

 In the Human Design System, I identify as

a Projector with a

5/1 profile, also known as a

Heretic Investigator

(a description that always makes me chuckle).

According to Human Design, the value of Projectors lies primarily in what they observe around them, rather than in what they do. For example, they tend to have a keen eye for identifying problems and opportunities for improvement. They are also adept at guiding or directing the energies of others. Projectors are much like lighthouses; from the boats cruising on the open sea, you can see their light shining in the darkness, but which boats choose to dock or pass by is beyond their control.

In astrology, my business card would read:

Gemini Sun. Virgo Rising. Cancer Moon.

Quoting from Steven Forrest's "The Sky Within" report about me:

"[...] You have the mind - and the voice - of a poet. That is, you inherently think and speak in symbols and allusions. [...] You are a visionary, and you grow spiritually as you take steps to bring that vision into a form that can be shared. [...] Your 'cosmic job description' is communicator or teacher. This means that you were born with something significant to say to the human family. You may write it. You can announce it from a soapbox. But first you have to solve a riddle that life has posed to your spirit: How do you find your true voice?"

[...] The Moon stands for emotions, as does Cancer. You have combined both in your birth chart. As a result, the subjective, creative, emotional side of your life is very much alive.

[...] Your whole character and destiny ultimately revolve around one question: can you free yourself from your social and cultural conditioning to the point where you realise that deep within you burns the spark of something that has never existed?

[...] It is as if Spirit has asked you to find a way to get paid to be yourself. [...] When a sun blooms in all its glory in the tenth house, it usually blooms late."

In my mind, I am already living and working in my dream place: a cosy, warm, quiet, rather small but luxurious Danish cottage on the stormy North Sea coast with endless sandy beaches on the doorstep, strong waves and the occasional "shiet-wedder".
