Product Description
Book Description
The hazel tree and the sacred well - ancient mythical symbols of Celtic wisdom and spirituality - provide a thread to follow through history and lore, back to the ancient practice of European shamanism. In her new book, D. J. Conway uses the four paths of shamanism (healer, bard, warrior, and mystic) to translate Celtic spirituality into a usable form for today's seekers. Unlike beginners' guides now on the market, this book is an advanced study of the practice.

Good Book,
By
This review is from: Advanced Celtic Shamanism (Paperback)
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.

Spend Your Money Elsewhere,
By Francine Nicholson (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Celtic Shamanism (Paperback)
From the first pages, which speak of Celts in India and druids teaching karma, it was clear that D.J. Conway knows little about authentic Celtic tradition. This book is an amalgam of New Age fluff, from aromatherapy to eight-spoked wheel. There is very little here that could be considered Celtic. If you are interested in Celtica, I recommend _Celtic Heritage_ by Rees & Rees. For authentic Celtic rituals, try Kondratiev's _Celtic Rituals_. If you are interested in shamanism, try Vitebsky's book or Harner's _The Way of the Shaman_.

Advanced Celtic Shamanism,
By Kristina L Hagerty (San Fernando, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Celtic Shamanism (Paperback)
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.
