I keep coming back to this one. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Five stars from me.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Highly recommend to serious students.
Finally got around to ordering this. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Good, with the caveats above.
This has been on my wishlist for months. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. One of my better finds this year.
Exactly what I was looking for. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Definitely recommend.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Highly recommend to serious students.
McKernan successfully merges Germanic mysticism with ecotherapy, presenting wyrd as a dynamic web rather than doom. The integration of nearly fifty practical exercises makes this an engaging tool for spiritual growth and personal healing. However, readers seeking traditional historical accounts of Heathenry or those uncomfortable with therapeutic interpretations of ancient myths may find the approach too abstract or modern. It is not suited for skeptics of esoteric practices or those preferring rigid doctrinal structures over fluid, experiential learning. Ultimately, it offers a unique, albeit specific, perspective on destiny and healing.
