"Tidal Time" is an original word weaving by feminist theologian, Mary Daly. In her book, Websters' First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language, Tidal Time refers to,
"Elemental Time, beyond the clocking/clacking of "clonedom; Wild Time; Time that cannot be grasped by the tidily man-dated world; Time of Wicked Inspiration/Genius."
I honor the work and memory of Mary Daly by naming my music and book publishing company, and invite readers to dive between the waves into worlds of unimagined possibilities.
