About Marisa
I have had a lifelong love of books and spent a huge part of my childhood and teens escaping between their pages. I always dreamt of being a writer and began in 2007 with “You Don’t Have Problems, You’re Only Bored!”. This was inspired by my connection with Ascended Master Kuthumi Lal Singh and his wisdom.
As I looked deeper into who Kuthumi was, I discovered he had lived some significant lifetimes; both in their contribution to history as well as being at times of significant change in humanity. With my love of writing now truly awake I decided to write the stories of each of these lifetimes, beginning with Pharaoh Thutmose III.
I have now written four books in this series with a fifth currently in progress. Each one combines my love of history with my curiosity for the spiritual. With each book Kuthumi and I hope to take the reader on a journey into more than a simple story.
My storytelling has now grown into a podcast “Once Upon A Goddess”; where I not only share stories from mythology and folklore but I also celebrate the divine feminine.
I currently live in Sydney, Australia which is also my birthplace. Alongside writing I also love gardening, baking, binge watching quality television and listening to podcasts.
About Kuthumi
Kuthumi Lal Singh is one of the Ascended Masters, meaning that he reached a state of enlightenment. He is one of the few who stayed within human form to experience being a blend of his divine self and a physical being.
Born in northern India in the mid 1800’s he travelled and studied throughout Europe, most notably at Oxford University. It was while he was at Oxford he became bedridden for several years due to a mental collapse. During this time Kuthumi was able to reflect on all his collected wisdom and found the key to his personal enlightenment.
Kuthumi then spent his remaining years travelling from Europe, through the Middle East and into Asia. He lived his final years in the foothills of the Himalayas, where he wrote many letters for those interested in his personal insights. These letters became the foundation of the Theosophical Society.

Shah Jahan was the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal, and is considered one of the many lifetimes lived by Kuthumi.
