Product Description
As we enter a new millennium, more and more women are embarking on personal journeys, both literally and spiritually, in the hope of discarding the trappings of modern living. Many seek solace from sites that were sacred to early pagans: Glastonbury and Stonehenge, Callanish in the Hebrides, and the Holy Wells of Ireland. Sally Griffyn has spent much of the last two years introducing visitors to both the famous and lesser-known sites of the British Isles. In addition to the descriptions of sites and the myths surrounding them, the reader will also find suggestions for healing rituals, meditations, and spells. It is a gorgeous and unusual book for women seeking to enhance their spirituality.

Reader Reviews
Sally Griffyn's Sacred Journeys has taken me along with her to these sights, but more importantly, has allowed me to follow my own path as I read along. The photography is astounding, clear, informative and sensitively artistic. Her careful guidance to and through these sacred sights informs one of the important historical significance of these places of wonder, but also invites our inner eyes and ears to hear what these sights are presently and what they were meant for when they were used in the past. Careful to suggest respect with regard to preservation, Sally Griffyn invites us to open our hearts and minds to their purposes we can still utilize in the modern age. Her relaying of historical background material blends naturally with generous offerings of appropriate rituals we can incorporate in our own paths. These suggestions are appropriate in terms of our own evolution along traditional spiritual paths but obviously in terms of the particular histories of these ancient sights. Her book has been long in coming, and much needed in this age of religious moralizing and materialism. It is a bright and shining example of a dedicated writer and photographer who aspires to bring the reader along her path while honoring our own place in relation to the sacred places from the past. We can all learn a lot no matter how studied one might be along the wiccan path. It is a personal journey in the end, of course, but this book is a comfortable companion.
