This is a must read if you want to help find out who you are. It is not only a great and entertaining novel but will help direct you to whom you are looking for in your own mirrors.
Any book that does several things at once is usually a good one. Ms. Kennedy must be an interesting person as well as a good friend to lots of folks. I will look forward to more books from her.

The Wizard's Mirror had me from the first page and kept me intrested throughout. I couldn't put it down. The interactions between the author and the panel had me intrigued, made me laugh and allowed me to identify and see patterns in my own life. I've used the oracle IVATOS for many years and The Wizard's Mirror helped me to clarify its power and understand its applications. Everyone can and will enjoy this fun adventure into this other world.

Similar to 'Ishmael' and 'Gods Debris' this is a philosophy book disguised as fiction. The elements of a good novel, like a story line, plot twists, and character development, are mostly absent. Without the typical tools of a good fiction, for this type of book to grab me the concepts have to be presented in powerful and compelling ways. 'Ishmael' and 'Gods Debris' managed to do this for me, but 'The Wizards Mirror' did not.

The book basically goes into the mind of the main character as she goes through a meditative journey. Much of the characters self talk is presented. The self talk is given in an acurate way, as it often rambles, jumps around, and sometimes offers insights from fear that are decidedly unenlightened. Unfortunately, although acurate, this self talk does not make for interesting reading.

The IVATOS model to understand and analyze consciousness is solid stuff. But there are many other models already available for this, and for me anyway, better ones.

I must admit I did not read the whole book cover to cover. After the first 50 pages I lost interest and skimmed the rest looking for enlightening insights.
