Celtic Reflections on Nature and the Soul

Throughout the ages shamans and mystics have recognized that all created things share some level of consciousness and that the ordinary and non-ordinary realities interact. This book by a well-known Celtic-American shaman explores those interactions and interconnected pathways looking at the interdependence of our material life with our inner life and that of nature. Each chapter is a small window into the mysteries of nature and soul as they infuse daily life. Cowan draws on the teachings of medieval mystics fairy legends Celtic songs present-day poets and seekers and Native American stories. From these strands he weaves a Celtic knot of Spirit beautiful and strong.
