The Way of Wyrd,
By Geoffrey Van der Hoff (Rim of the World, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Way of Wyrd: Tales of an Anglo-Saxon Sorcerer (Paperback)
This excellently written manuscript by Brian Bates, opens the self to the nature of mankind's human intuition and influence, now so forgotten in our busy modern times. It is well written from many perspectives, from unbeliever to faithful master, and those so intertwined within the influence of Wyrd. Each of us, as the faithful master of Wyrd says, are a part of Wyrd, and after reading this manuscript, you will begin to understand that more each day. For once Wyrd is revealed, forever will it be present, as it was then, within your own life of today.

Excellent historical fiction,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Wyrd: The Book of a Sorcerer's Apprentice (Paperback)
A terrific story based on historical facts and geography producing a believable fantasia. Giving an in depth insight into pre-christian religions and practices through the eyes of a christian monk. Great reading especially for the clergy, hedonists, those interested in the occult or anyone with an imagination.

A stunning spiritual adventure,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Way of Wyrd: The Book of a Sorcerer's Apprentice (Paperback)
This is an amazing book. It changed my way of thinking about myself, and my life - and it gets over its message in a story that I found compelling and moving. Based on factual documents in the British Museum, the book takes the reader on a journey into the spiritual and shamanic world of Anglo-Saxon England. It tells the story of a young man names Brand, who journeys with a sorcerer in the pre-Christian forests of the seventh century. There he learns a quite remarkable path to wisdom, called Wyrd. This is like a western version of Tao, in that every event affects everything else, and the forces of nature are pre-emenent. The story includes vivid encounters with the spirits, and a gripping conclusion where he is helped by his guardian - a hawk. Ancient wisdom for today. Deserves to be the best-seller that it is.
