Seven Sacred Sites: Take A Magical Journey That Will Change Your Life

I’m excited to have a copy of Serene Conneeley’s new book, Seven Sacred Sites, in my hands. The book is written for both the traveller and the armchair spiritual seeker alike, and I can’t wait to devote myself entirely to enjoying every page over the Christmas break. By travel editor Joanne Lock.

Since ancient times, sacred sites have had a powerful effect on people. Their vibrational essence, beauty and history, along with the leylines and the power infused in each one by centuries of pilgrims steeping it with love and ritual, can heal you physically, activate you spiritually and open your soul to its divine purpose. 
    Some are intricate man-made structures, such as the old Inka city of Machu Picchu in Peru or the pyramids of Egypt. Others are ancient paths of energy like the Camino, a pilgrimage across the north of Spain. Some are scientifically and magically placed stone circles such as Britain’s Stonehenge, while others are natural formations like the Tor, the sacred hill in Glastonbury, England; Uluru, the ancient rock in Central Australia; and the volcanoes, mountains and oceans of Hawaii.
    Discover what makes these places sacred and when to go and how to get there. Seven Sacred Sites includes all of this information as well as the history of the site, the rituals that have been performed there, the cultural and magical significance of each place, and the way it inspires, touches and initiates growth and learning in its visitors. Just as importantly, find out how to attain the state of grace and sacredness imparted by each place without leaving home.
    Journeying to these sites was a powerful awakening for Serene, and Seven Sacred Sites invites you to travel to Machu Picchu and the jungles of South America, go beyond the mists in Glastonbury, the enchanted Isle of Avalon, and reconnect with your enchanted self, and witness the masculine and feminine face of the divine in Ancient Egypt’s mystical pyramids and temples.
    Walk the pilgrimage path of the Camino in northern Spain on a course towards your inner self, experience the pure joy of the dolphins, rainbows and goddesses in the powerful earth energies of Hawaii. You can also feel the magic and wisdom of Stonehenge, Britain’s mysterious Neolithic circle, and find a sense of place at Uluru, the spiritual heart of Australia. 
    Including postcards from Shirley MacLaine, Doreen Virtue, Lucy Cavendish, Cassandra Eason and, Elisabeth Jensen, Colette Baron-Reid, Jude Currivan and Alberto Villoldo, this book is combination of adventure story, history and travel guide. It will send you on a journey to the most beautiful sites on the planet as well as the deepest, most sacred places within your self, and open you up to the magic of the universe, within and without.
