Advanced Celtic Shamanism

I bought this book after reading a friends copy. I found that while it has some inaccuracies, there are many parts of this book that ring true (for me at least), and wanted my own copy for future reference. I believe it is an excellent book for continuing to study The Shamanic Path; but as with all written information, your own direct experiences are more important and this book should only be used as a guide.

I found this book an good, one volume, source of hard to find material. I reference it often and use it for the purpose it was intended, to expand upon the basics. I would say it is a good intermediate level sourcebook.

I was immediately drawn to the book and I have learned to never dismiss my intuition, thus I bought it. The moment I opened the book and began reading I felt as though it was written about me. I found it held the same beliefs I have always had since I could remember, I never understood while seeing visions of my past (14-1500's), I was dressed like a man (though a woman) and wielded a sword and fought like a man. I always knew of women back then dressing in gowns and dresses not breeches. After reading the book it all began to make sense. Why I felt the way I did, looking back on my experiences, how I feel about things,and why I had such a poll toward the Celtic Culture. I cannot speak for how this book will effect another, But I know the effects it had on me. But I feel this book would have something in it for anyone with that *inner* knowing.

I liked her first book much better, bu that is only because of how eye-opening it was for me. The only thing I think could be better with this book is that she could have used some of the space to present more new info about her personal celtic way of spirituality (which is of course what this is and she does not deny that this is what she has gleaned from her own journeys) instead of putting material in that was is the first book. I really love, though, how she separates the different aspects of celtic shamanism while still maintaining that all of these parts are necessary for a person to be a complete shaman. A very good suppliment to her first book, By Oak, Ash, and Thorn

This book on Celtic Shaminism is one of the best books on the subject in print! The way she has written it makes me belive that these people are really living and waiting to help you on the quest of knowledge. I really think that this writer is super. I hope that other poeple who read this book will be as inspired as I am.
