This book is advertised as a set of guided meditations but I would call them pathworkings. I say that because most of them involve extended and personalizable interactions with the charcters in the meditation. The writing is poetic, but not flowery. The mediations are written in paragraphs with pauses between them for taking breaths and allowing the participants to interact with their astral enviroment. This has proven very effective for me because I can read it to myself without having to pull out that much. The meditation, for me, takes place during the pauses.

The overall quality of the meditations varies a bit but most of them are quite good. The mabon and full moon (artemis) meditations in particular really touched me. They do have a tendency to be long, but not overly so. If I'm reading them for an audience that isn't trained in meditation then I often skip parts to keep it within a 15 minute time frame.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys guided meditations and pathworkings geared for the pagan. Great for personal or coven journeys. One note to the easily offended - the Beltane meditation is quite explict. But also very transformative!

this is very hard to read by myself. i think this would have been better in cd format. i have no way of recording the meditations and therefore, i'm stuck reading them out of the book without benefit of someone else reading them for me. a cd would have been a much better method of presenting these meditations.

This is an excellent resource for anyone and a source of wonderful sabbat meditations to use yourself or to share as a group experience. Especially helpful for those hosting or teaching.
