Science Meets Magic Meets Science,
By Juanita R. Violini "Almanac of the Infamous, ... (Canadian Rockies) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Gifts Of Unknown Things (Paperback)
Watson has written a compelling narrative that is both down to earth and magically uplifting. The book alternates between Watson's scientific musings on the supernatural phenomena taking place around him on the "Dancing Island"; and the true story of an eleven-year-old girl, whose ability to connect with the rhythms of the earth and other invisible energies, results in her healing and poltergeist type powers.I love Watson's view of the extraordinary phenomena he experiences. When speaking of the powerful influences occurring at places such as Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid at Giza he writes: "I am satisfied that all these structures were created by people who possessed an astronomical awareness and a mathematical expertise that we have only recently rediscovered. But I am unhappy with the manic attempts now being made to deify these builders as masters of an arcane and intergalactic order to whom all the secrets of the universe were known. They were people. Born of this earth and, like all things living here, imbued with a natural sensitivity to its cycles and rhythms." Highly recommended for those seeking to learn more about what it means to be human.

Great read!,

I read this for a psychology Senior Seminar class at Univ. Maine @ Farmington... The intersection of scientific knowledge and inexplicable phenomena was awe inspiring... It is amazing how the natural world has yet to be sufficiently explained by science. This book was extremely easy to read, as I read most of it backwards (the chapters are broken down into sections). This is one of those books you can easily read twice!

An all-time classic!,
By Cynthia Sue Larson "Author of Reality Shifts" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gifts Of Unknown Things (Paperback)
Biologist Lyall Watson travels to Indonesia in search of magic... and finds a 'dancing island' and a girl who comes of age to become a shaman and healer. For those who simply enjoy a good story, this is an excellent book. For those who realize that the magic described in this book is real, it's even better. Watson is a first-rate story-teller, and I would give this book ten stars if such a thing were possible!
