In The Mist-Filled Path, Frank MacEowen, a preeminent teacher of Celtic spirituality, shows how embracing the indigenous wisdom of Scotland and Ireland can lead to healing and transcendence. Using his own travels and teachings along with Celtic stories and myths, he explores ancient traditions, eco-psychology, the ancient mother, altars and hearths, Oran Mor (the Great Song), contemplation, and mysticism. The book tells how to draw on ancestral roots to find a personal spirituality that also works for the greater good.
As part of his practice in shamanism, dreamwork, and similar pursuits, Mississippi-born Scottish-Irish American poet and teacher finds inspiring passages from mainly Irish and Scottish traditional literature. His glossary includes guides to pronunciation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
