The Interior Castle Overview
“The soul is like a castle made exclusively of diamond or some other very clear crystal. In this castle there are a multitude (7) of dwellings, just as in heaven there are many mansions”
Thus begins St. Teresa of Avila’s masterpiece, The Interior Castle, in which she draws a narrative map of the territory of your own soul. The map winds inward to the discovery of the divine spark within and our union with God in love. This outline of important things and key points is a guide for our journey as we read this marvelous mystic together. These are my notes. I encourage you to make your own. Read slowly and enjoy!
