    It`s about how we got and use energy.
    When we get energy in the right ways we can rise our vibrations and with rise vibrations we r better into our psychic and intuitive skills and we r better able to discover our purpose of life...something like that:).

    Celtic Myth and Magick is a shit book, and "celtic" shamanism is an incorrect combination of words. There isnt "Celtic Shamanism" and whoever phrases it
    that way is an uneducated fool.

    Sorry to keep being the asshole.

    Devin, a good book to read is Fire in the Head, by Tom Cowan. Though the word "Celtic Shamanism" is used time to time, he explains his reason why at the beginning. It usually says something like "Shamanism with Celtic spirit" or such.

    Its a great book though, explains a lot of shamanic elements in Irish and Scots culture up through the 19th century. Check it out.

    If you want to skip the novel-aspects of "the celestine prophecy" you can check out "the celestine vision" which is basically just the philosophy of the first book, with more detail. But the novel itself was good too, so that's up to you.

    favorite books that i own. well i'm not sure how much any of them are pertinent to this forum. yv88 possibly is but only very marginaly. ursula leguinne's always comming home is another. i don't even remember all of the titles of all the books that i own, though i remember quite a few that i've owned at one time or another that i don't currently possess but wish i did, like a natural history of the sierra nevada's.

    i actualy haven't bought very many books since i've been online, not even as many since i came back from oregon in 87 as i left behind up there when i did.

    i liked hienlien's strainger in a strainge land
    kallil gebran's the prophet
    alicia bay laural's living on the earth
    there was a compilation by beals and krober of the maidu language and dialects that i photocopied pages from at my local community college (the nissinan maidu are the localy indiginous native american culture where i live, some of whome i went to school with, and others i know or new from various other contexts, places i've worked and so on, i wish i could remember the phrase you're supposed to greet people with but i'm especialy dense about languages, if i hear it enough more times, hopefully i may eventualy remember it)
