The Mist-Filled Path. Celtic Wisdom for Exiles, Wanderers and Seekers. Frank MacEowen

 I'm enjoying The Mist-Filled Path: Celtic Wisdom for Exiles, Wanderers and Seekers by Frank MacEowen.

In The Mist-Filled Path, Frank MacEowen, a preeminent teacher of Celtic spirituality, shows how embracing the indigenous wisdom of Scotland and Ireland can lead to healing and transcendence.

The Secret of the Temple. John Michael Greer. Earth Energies. Freemasonry. Sacred Geometry

The Secret of the Temple. John Michael Greer. Earth Energies. Freemasonry. Sacred Geometry

I'm enjoying "The Secret of the Temple" by John Michael Greer...


Over thousands of years, the priests and sages of the ancient world discovered that the design and location of certain structures had beneficial effects on the crops that sustained life. A body of traditional lore evolved, using architecture and ceremonies that made use of these wholly natural but mysterious effects. In The Secret of the Temple, John Michael Greer painstakingly rebuilds a body of lost knowledge that has been used to accumulate and direct energy throughout history, and can be used again today.

The Temple of Solomon was only one of many ancient structures that drew on the temple tradition. The insights of this tradition have been passed down through those in society tasked with protecting ancient wisdom, secret societies like the Knights Templar and the Freemasons. But over time, as cultures and technologies changed, the meaning of these cryptic symbols and rituals became obscured...until now. This book explores the esoteric body of knowledge that shaped the world of our forebears, gave rise to the world's most awe-inspiring temples and cathedrals, and continues to fuel speculation about powerful forces at work in our world.

Native Healer. Initiation Into An Ancient Art. Medicine Grizzlybear Lake. Shamanism

"Native Healer" by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake provides an interesting glimpse into the world of Native American shamanism. This text was published through Quest Books of the Theosophical Society.


Many today claim to be healers and spiritual teachers, but Medicine Grizzlybear Lake definitely is both. In this work he explains how a person is called by higher powers to be a medicine man or woman and describes the trials and tests of a candidate. Lake gives a colorful picture of Native American shamanism and discusses ceremonies such as the vision quest and sweat lodge.

Scottish Witchcraft. The History and Magick of the Picts. Raymond Buckland

Scottish Witchcraft. The History and Magick of the Picts. Raymond Buckland

I'm enjoying "Scottish Witchcraft: The History and Magick of the Picts" by Raymond Buckland. It is an interesting and informative look at the solitary practices of the PectiWita tradition. 

From the ancient misty Highlands of Scotland to modern-day America come the secrets of solitary Witchcraft practice. The author of Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft introduces "PectiWita," or the craft of the Picts. Learn the history of these mysterious early Keltic people, their origins, beliefs, and celebrations. This book also explores the magic, sacred tools, herbal lore, song and dance, and recipes of the Scottish PectiWita tradition.


Raymond Buckland was actively involved in metaphysics and the occult for fifty years.

He was the author of more than sixty books, including such best-selling titles as Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft, Gypsy Dream Dictionary, Practical Candleburning Rituals, and Witchcraft from the Inside. Ray lectured and presented workshops across the United States, and appeared on major television and radio shows nationally and internationally. He also wrote screen plays, was a technical advisor for films, and appeared in films and videos.

Ray came from an English Romany (Gypsy) family and resided with his wife Tara on a small farm in central Ohio. Beyond writing, Ray's other passion was homebuilt airplanes.

The Spiral Dance. Starhawk. A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess. Wicca. Paganism

The Spiral Dance. Starhawk. A Rebirth of the Ancient Religion of the Great Goddess. Wicca. Paganism

I'm enjoying "The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk. This book, originally published in the late 1970s, is held in high regard as a classic in the Pagan, Wicca and New Age genre.



The twentieth anniversary edition of The Spiral Dance celebrates the pivotal role the book has had in bringing Goddess worship to the religious forefront. This bestselling classic is both an unparalleled reference on the practices and philosophies of Witchcraft and a guide to the life-affirming ways in which readers can turn to the Goddess to deepen their sense of personal pride, develop their inner power, and integrate mind, body, and spirit. Starhawk's brilliant, comprehensive overview of the growth, suppression, and modern-day re-emergence of Wicca as a Goddess-worshipping religion has left an indelible mark on the feminist spiritual consciousness.

In a new introduction, Starhawk reveals the ways in which Goddess religion and the practice of ritual have adapted and developed over the last twenty years, and she reflects on the ways in which these changes have influenced and enhanced her original ideas. In the face of an ever-changing world, this invaluable spiritual guidebook is more relevant than ever.

The Seven Paths. Changing One's Way of Walking in the World. Anasazi Foundation. Native American

The Seven Paths. Changing One's Way of Walking in the World. Anasazi Foundation. Native American

"The Seven Paths" is a thoughtful little book from the Anasazi Foundation. It is a Native American tale about finding one's way through the aid of deity, nature, community and altruism.



People have moved away from Mother Earth, bringing heartache, pain, and other maladies of the modern age. The “self-help” movement claims to offer peace and fulfillment to individuals, but this solitary approach takes us only so far. Ultimately, it is in communion with our fellow beings and the natural world that we are made whole. We need to leave the path of Me and follow the path of We.

This poetic, evocative story presents the meditations of an ancient Anasazi tribesman who rejects his family and sets off on a journey through the desert. He walks seven paths, each teaching a lesson symbolized by an element of the natural world: light, wind, water, stone, plants, animals, and, finally, the unity of all beings with the Creator. The Seven Paths reveals a source of wisdom, restoration, and renewal familiar to native people but lost to the rest of us, seven elements among nature that combine to mend human hearts.

The Deva Handbook. How to Work with Nature's Subtle Energies. Nathaniel Altman. New Age. Hinduism

The Deva Handbook. How to Work with Nature's Subtle Energies. Nathaniel Altman. New Age. Hinduism

Many cultures and mythologies throughout the world make reference to "nature spirits" that correspond to the four elements (earth, air, fire and water). In sanskrit, these entities are called Devas. In "The Deva Handbook" Nathaniel Altman examines these phenomena with practical means of invocation and communication.


When we experience the powerful force of a waterfall, the elusive beauty of a rainbow, or the stark strength of a craggy expanse of cliff many of us have perceived “something else” that goes beyond the five senses: feelings of peace, comfort, healing, and inspiration. Native traditions throughout the world have taught that these intuitive impressions are caused by the subtle forces of the living world. These forces are known by different names: angels, nature spirits, orishas, or by the Sanskrit term devas, meaning “the shining ones.” The Deva Handbook guides us back to these keepers of earth wisdom. The author draws on native traditions from around the world as well as modern teachings to explore the roles, characteristics, and significance of the devas. You can learn to communicate with the devas anywhere: in a backyard garden, or near a tree in a city park. This illustrated handbook offers practical tools--including visualizations, prayers, and offerings--that will help you to get in touch with the “power spots” of nature and receive their healing energy.
