Reviews

“This is a fascinating and important book which offered us an approach to living based upon the mythology and beliefs of the Celtic peoples. Flowing around the Sacred Year, it offers a much-needed approach to the rediscovery of spirituality - not religion as such, but a system of acknowledging the deeply empowering presence of spirit in all things. Michael Wilson offers us a voyage of discovery which includes meditation, journeying and the consideration of some important questions. Recommended for all those seeking a deeper and more profound understanding of life.” John Matthews, Author of Taliesin, the Last Celtic Shaman  “Recognising Spirituality is not the same as a Religion, this book in a warm invitation to listen to the original Celtic myths and tales about Spirituality as they speak for themselves; to playfully engage with them week-to-week and bring their insights into our inner and outer lives. This guidebook to practical involvement with deep tradition uses active imagination, attention to dreams and new ways to be with the natural world, to bring this about.” Dr. Dale Mathers, Jungian analyst, author of Dreams: The Basics “An astonishing project which effortlessly interweaves mythology, psychology and spiritual practice. Transformational, thoughtful and accessible.” Andrew Anderson, author of The Ritual of Writing. “It’s hard to imagine that you won't start to experience a deeper sense of purpose through this work. This is an important and significant book in relation to a lived spirituality.” Roselle Angwin, author of A Spell in the Forest. “Michael Wilson gifts us with a vision that is both magical and soulful.” Eimear Burke, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids.
