The Pagan Traveller

When I first saw Serene Conneeley's book, Seven Sacred Sites, I knew it was something I needed to get my hands on. It was one of the things that sparked my interest in travel again, something I thought I had lost a long time ago. Within it's pages I got lost in the freedom of travel, the beauty of experience and the surrender to knowledge of both ancient and modern times.

The book highlights seven sacred sites that Serene has personally visited. Recounting the experiences she has had in each of the sites, it's easy to understand the magic inherent in them and why they have been called sacred by many a pilgrim and traveller. What is so wonderful about this book is that while she does describe her experiences, she also takes care to discuss the history of the sites, how you can be an 'armchair traveller' to these locations and interviews well known spiritual and pagan faces about their own personal connection with each place, including Lucy Cavendish, Cassandra Eason, Doreen Virtue and Shirley MacLaine, to name a few.

Serene tells her stories with passion and elegance, each chapter flowing to the next so smoothly. While I read it, I felt like I was being taken on a personal inner journey. With each chapter I read I was learning about myself, what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. It was easy to fall into the book and allow Serene to take readers on her adventure.

She now has mini travel guides that are based on each of the seven sites she visited, A Magical Journey journal and a beautiful CD of meditations, all published and produced by Blessed Bee. For the spiritual traveller, whether you are just planning your journey or you are already on one, I highly recommend you find yourself a copy of Seven Sacred Sites.
