The Wisdom of the Wyrd
Author: Brian Bates
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780712672771
Category : Cosmology, Ancient
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Today, many of us hunger for guidance on how best to live our lives. In this fascinating and scholarly book, psychologist Dr Brian Bates offers a journey into a way of wisdom which once was ours a thousand years ago when our ancestors lived as indigenous peoples in ancient Europe. To them the archaic word 'Wyrd' meant all that was sacred and unexplainable - the force which underlay all life. This force was at the heart of their spiritual tradition which, in its scope and depth, had remarkable parallels to the Eastern Tao and the Native Americans' Great Spirit. Drawing on twenty years of research, Brain Bates gives a rich description of the creative, organic vision of the world which our ancestors held - at the centre of which were the shamans, powerful figures who mediated directly with the spirits and the pulse of the earth's rhythm. He also shows how, through practical techniques and mediations, as well as through extraordinarily fertile stories from our past, we can once again rediscover and reclaim our sacred heritage - a wisdom which is still deep within us all, and needs only to be brought to the surface.

Book Description
Emma has a very different outlook to Pip's, and the pair just cannot seem to get along. This shouldn't be a problem, and it wouldn't be a problem–if it weren't for the fact that Emma's Dad is getting married to Pip's Mum! For Dad's sake, Emma tries to keep the peace, but it is a very difficult task. That is, until a book of spells and wishes finds its way into the household, and she accidentally becomes a witch in a secret ceremony intended to impart magical powers to Pip. Emma is horrified. She never wanted to be a witch, and there seem to be a lot of difficult responsibilities attached to the job. Pip isn't too pleased either–it was meant to be her. Pip and Emma find themselves working together to reverse the effects of the spell, but nothing they can come up with offers a solution to their problem. Horrible! But now Emma has an advantage over Pip, and maybe it would be fun to put it to good use...
