“The power of personal experience to enlighten, guide, and activate resonates undeniably throughout Frank MacEowen's The Mist-Filled Path. Peer within these pages into the mists of your own connection to our world and the divine. May this book guide you into heartfelt conscious action on behalf of all that is sacred.” — Julia Butterfly Hill, activist and
author of The Legacy of Luna
Exploring the mystical traditions of Ireland and Scotland, this exciting project reads like a memoir — but with insight and a call to action on every page. The Mist-Filled Path is a book by and about a modern Celt, Frank MacEowen, whose initiatory crises led him to discover who he is, and his impassioned call to the rest of us to find the old paths once again, walk them, and discover the mystic beauties of the many worlds we live in. He reminds us who we are, or who we could be.
There is an exciting boldness with which the author pulls the old ways out of our many pasts and into the present, but always with a sensitivity to what is authentic and appropriate for these new times and places.
As presented here, Celtic spirituality is not a romanticized artifact or an atavistic throwback to earlier times but a modern ethos for dealing with environmental crises, the poor and homeless, the uncertainties of a hostile and dangerous world, and the mind-numbing, spirit-numbing boredom that our consumer culture generates in so many people.
The Mist-Filled Path is an engaging, lyrically written account of old Celtic ways and a challenging manifesto to live them in this new world of the twenty-first century. You may not be Celtic or even Western, but to read this book is to study with a teacher who can re-animate the wisdom of the past so that it sings in your modern heart. It is truly a wonderful experience.
“A rich and poetic book that seems to bring together the very best aspects of the Celtic vision of the world. Warm, personal, and adventurous, this is a book which should be read by everyone remotely interested in the human spirit.” — John and Caitlín Matthews, authors of The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom
“A distinctive and evocative book that makes a worthy contribution to our understanding of Celtic tradition and, best of all, inspires us to participate in Celtic consciousness.” —R. J. Stewart, author of The Merlin Taro
"The Mist-Filled Path is a beautiful and passionate description of a soul journey along the old Celtic roads between earth and sky. It is also a spirited invitation to collective soul recovery, inviting us to reclaim ways of being and seeing that were shared by our ancestors. To read Frank MacEowen is to go hillwalking with a friend who speaks the language of trees and birds, and knows the ‘thin places’ where we can slip into the Otherworld for adventure and initiation. This book is a gift and a delight" — Robert Moss, author of Conscious Dreaming, Dreamgates, and Dreaming True
"Frank MacEowen is an astute learner, a visionary teacher, and a sensual storyteller. In an era when shamanism has become one of the most popular topics in bookstores, at newsstands, and on television, this refreshingly pragmatic literary sojourn into the perennial Mist-Filled Pat h of Celtic wisdom is a timely, heartfelt gift to the world. An illuminating and important work. I recommend it highly!" — Oscar Miro-Quesada, Peruvian kamasqa curandero and founder of The Heart of the Healer Foundation
"The Mist Filled Path brings to life the ancient teachings and spirit of Celtic Shamanism by making it relevant to our current life experiences and dilemmas. Frank MacEowen masterfully communicates his personal quest, which brought him to the roots of his tradition and beckons us all to discover the ancient sacred paths that speak our truth. This book is a call to action to find ourselves and a practical guide of journeys and meditations to awaken the heart, the compassion, and the wisdom of our shared human heritage, and to bring them into the world." —Larry Peters, Ph.D.
