Fascinating and inspiring

Revisado: 10-11-24

This book opened my mind and also spoke to some ancient truths that have in some way always known in my heart. This book is bold, it takes courage to speak to truths that are so challenging to the enculturated western mindset. I’m grateful that the author chose to tell his story. And that there are human beings that are courageous enough to follow this path. I myself, although I do have some experience in the psychedelic realms, cannot imagine the fortitude required to do this level of journey work.

The narration is wonderful, his voice is calm and the kadence is pleasant to the ear and mind. Overall, really a wonderful and enjoyable book.

Devastatingly beautiful

Revisado: 11-14-23

Wow, what a story. I love the complexity, I love the inter-weaving, lifelines of the characters, and the way the author takes his time building. Each one into a multi faceted structure you can feel, and almost holding your hand.
I wonder if this book would have the same impact if one was not a spiritual seeker, a Devotie of some type? I can’t know that, but from my heart that is hungry for God in all forms of this book, so deeply to me.
A powerful book, and one not to be missed.

Spell breaking beauty

Revisado: 06-30-23

This work is one that weaves between this world and many others. A journey into the heart of a myth, the wild and God. It’s challenging to find words to speak to the power and the beauty of this telling. My heart broke and was reborn 100 times in the listening and I am changed for it.
The way that Martin Shaw weaves words is utterly magnificent. He winds words together into a basket to hold the listener and ferry them over to the other side of the river. It is artful, fantastic and brutal.

Intriguing and exciting

Revisado: 11-23-22

This is my second time through this book, and I definitely will be listening at least once or twice more! Brians research is intriguing, his book, well written, and paste, and the subject matter makes my brain jump up-and-down with excitement. I mean, Paleo Christian witches, serving an intoxicating brew, secret societies of mystery, Wisdom passed down over generations, record rooms in the Vatican, it’s just too good!
In someway, this book has helped me to make peace with my conservative Christian childhood, and has opened a place in my heart for Jesus, I know it might sound so odd to say that. But it makes Christianity relevant to me in a way that it hasn’t been for a very long time.

A fascinating deep dive into the magic world of fungi!

Revisado: 09-06-22

This book is so beautifully crafted. It is shocking and intriguing, and truly made me think about all that is unseen in this world and yet is absolutely essential for life to exist and flourish here on this marvelous blue green planet.
Merlin Sheldrake takes you into this unseen world in a captivating way, and the cast of character is portrayed here brings forth a whole world that I honestly had no idea about.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a curious mind and a seekers heart.

Required reading!

Revisado: 09-08-21

This book is beautifully written, intellectually exciting, and deeply needed in these times.
I first read this book about 15 years ago, and just finished listening to the audio version, and I am struck once again by the marvelous craftsmanship of dear Daniel Quinn. I am so grateful that this book is in the world.
I’ve considered myself an enema stuff sorts, with this belief said, if you could call it that, growing stronger and stronger over the last five years. This book actually gives me the language to speak about some of the truths and longing cluttering around in my heart. I feel this is necessary reading, I wish everyone I know would read this book. I wish they would teach this in school. Perhaps, we can join together and learn to be leavers again.....

Intriguing and delightful

Revisado: 08-07-18

I read this as a teenager in the 90’s. What a delight to revisit it now, with the eyes and ears of an adult. Mary Stewart weaves this ancient tale in a beautiful way. These characters that many of us know so well, come to life in her adapt telling. I am so glad I chose this book. Enjoy!

A deep dive to the sacredness of every day life

Revisado: 11-06-16

I loved this book. So much more than words can express. I felt like I was coming home. To a world where there is purpose in the rhythm of life and a deep understanding of the poignant relationship we have with our earth, our mother. A wonderful blend of personal narrative, science and myth. I highly recommend this book and hope many read it. A true medicine story.
