Mountain Magic : Celtic Shamanism in the Austrian Alps

Mountain MagicI really enjoyed this book. For me it was a journey through time and space, from pre Christian times to the present, covering the land from Britain to the Austrian Alps. For anyone interested in the history and practice of Druidry and Shamanism it contains information and inspiration covering many topics, Elements, Plants, Animals, Gods and the Goddess and the Seasonal Celebrations amongst others. And including wisdom from mountain people as well as practical methods to help you to make your own inner journey. A great read.

Most books on the subject are very much from the authors perspective. Interesting to read about the folk preservation of shaman-like beliefs in Austria

I love this book, so rich in detailed knowledge and with a deep soulful understanding of this fascinating subject. A book I'll pick up again and again. Well written and researched by a genuine and experienced practitioner. A real treasure on my bookshelf! Brunner provides an important link and guide to this ancient lore and tradition, which is calling to so many once again. Highly recommended.

Interesting subject but poorly written book. Disorganized, redundant, and the attempt to present historical background for the techniques (what he really wanted to write about) failed.
