Overview

"Entertaining, Educating and Spiritually AwakeningOisin had done as he was instructed. Yes... gradually he could see a wondrous sight shimmering before him, a crystal-clear pool of water surrounded by nine hazel trees. As he stood transfixed, a Salmon leapt out of the water, its scales glistening in the ethereal light, creating rainbows across its body.... ""We humans,"" said the old shaman, ""are not permitted to eat of the fruit of that particular tree, but wisdom can come to us through the Salmon.""By the enigmatic author of the ground-breaking trilogy: The Touchwood ChroniclesExploring the exciting but largely neglected terrain of rites of passage for young men has been challenging for our modern society. Corin Thistlewood boldly sets forth to address this by utilising the Druid wisdom entwined within the Celtic Medicine Wheel. He uses the Druid tradition of telling a story, yet woven within it is knowledge of tree Lore, the Ogham, and many aspects of Druid and Wiccan wisdom. The use of astounding illustrations is thought to make learning more approachable in our visualised digital world. In this story, the Great Forest can be seen as a metaphor for a young man leaving school and battling with the inherent dangers of our competitive society all alone. This book will appeal to lovers of all things Celtic and Druid. The story is set in ancient Celtic times where Oisin, a young man, as a rite of passage, is cast alone into the Great Forest. On this sacred journey, or hero quest he overcomes many dangers and on the way discovers previously unknown aspects of his spirituality and his masculine nature. Eventually, Oisin finds what it is to be a true man by learning to balance his male and female aspects, thus becoming the mystical warrior."
