This review is from: Soul Companions: Conversations with Contemporary Wisdom Keepers - A Collection of Encounters with Spirit (Paperback)
Karen's book allows us to share the experience of the wisdom keepers of our time, and it is so full of hope and light for our future. They are not people remote from our society, they live within it, and share with us what we could do to improve our happiness and well-being on this earth. We are not alone, everyone of us has several guides/angels/spirits to help us through this lifetime. We are all wisdom keepers and sage, we all can listen to our spirit guides. And the funniest: it is easy! Thank you Karen!

This review is from: Soul Companions: Conversations with Contemporary Wisdom Keepers - A Collection of Encounters with Spirit (Paperback)
Soul Companions is a lovely book. Easy to read and great to dip into when the mood takes you. It is full of inspiring and thought provoking accounts of people's spiritual experiences. It is nicely divided into subjects and covers a huge amount of ground both geographically and spiritually. Karen does a good job of grounding the reader, whilst some of the tales by contributors take them off to places unknown and exciting. A great mix of topics and opinions on some intriguing subject matters. A book that is sure to get the brain cells ticking and possibly open a spiritual door to the reader! Brilliant.

A spiritual circle of friends,
This review is from: Soul Companions: Conversations with Contemporary Wisdom Keepers - A Collection of Encounters with Spirit (Paperback)
Soul Companions is an intriguing, useful book that brings together keepers of spiritual wisdom from all parts of the world and from diverse areas of active spiritual work.
It was probably the recommendation of John Matthews in this book that prompted me to go ahead and buy Soul Companions through Amazon, as I am greatly inspired by the work John Matthews and his partner Caitlin Matthews are doing in Celtic shamanism. It was inspiring for this reader to know, through this book, of the many people in the world doing good work in their own ways as contemporary keepers of spiritual wisdom. Reading the various essays of these wisdomkeepers gives you the feeling that you are sitting in a circle of spiritual friends, as each one in turn talks about her/his encounters with Spirit and the various kinds of work they specialize in, be it with plants, animals, humans, machines and, of course, spirits themselves. The author, Karen Sawyer, ties all the stories nicely together with her own narrative and personal accounts of being on the spiritual path. That said, some of the essays in this book did seem a bit too "new-agey" for me (my focus is more on core shamanism). Also, the book leans toward featuring well-known spiritualists in the western world -- it would have been nice to have read of some firsthand accounts by the many indigenous healers from various other parts of the planet as well who are often not in the media spotlight. The book, however, does list useful contact information for all of the persons who are featured here. I've finished going through the website of each and every contributor to the book to compare and contrast their work -- and that in itself was an interesting journey! A highly recommended book for beginners on the spiritual path as well as specialists in their spiritual craft.
