God Speaking

This is an unusual book by an author who is a biologist, trance seer and prominent druid. This gives her a multi-dimensional understanding of reality beyond physical appearance. She explores aspects of Irish folklore, new Pagan theology and scientific observations to elaborate a theory about our future. Her insights put her at a sometimes uncomfortable liminal position between the worlds where each camp finds it difficult to accept the perceptions of the other. Trances may be interpreted as wishful thinking, but the interrogator has no experience of these receptive states that open into other worlds and transcend a narrow anthropocentric understanding. The Earth is personified as the anagram Hertha and we are encouraged to think of her as alive and recognise our responsibility of care. Moreover, we each need to establish our own form of communication with Nature and reflect on how we can make our impact less destructive.
