Reader ReviewsTed Andrews, author of the immensely popular best seller ANIMAL-SPEAK, once again writes of how to have a more intimate and magical understanding of animals. In ANIMAL-WISE Andrews encourages readers to combine the mysticism of animaism with the science of zoology to attain greater knowledge of their neighbors in nature and, ultimately, themselves. ANIMAL-WISE describes the ancient practice of shamanism and the modern methods used for the study of animals in zoology. The book comprehensively details the animal kingdoms with an extensive dictionary that provides key qualities and characteristics of particular animals, the mythology and history surrounding them, and questions to ask when they are encountered during the course of a day. Andrews suggests exercises designed to deepen understanding of the wisdom animals can impart and that build upon the exercises outlined in ANIMAL-SPEAK. Fascinating animal trivia is offered throughout. Andrews writes passionately and knowledgeably about learning from nature and seeing the divine expressed within the natural world. This is a great book for animal lovers as well as spiritual seekers who are open to learning from animals. ANIMAL-WISE merchandises ideally with THE ANIMAL-WISE TAROT and, of course, ANIMAL-SPEAK. Books in the same vein, such as Susan Chernak McElroy's ANIMALS AS TEACHERS AND HEALERS, would enhance such a display.
