The author unravels a mystery from fifth century Ireland. Meet Anaias, a daughter of the goddess Ana, the followers of Mary Magdalene, Pelagius and Patrick and Aengus, king of Munster. This description may be from another edition of this product.
The intuitive travel journal combines nearly psychic visions and intuitions of current (and even long past) events with today's down-to-earth, cultured traveller through her trekking in Wales and a small area of Ireland. The resulting dialogue remains with the reader in a pleasant manner long after the last page has been consumed. The finish came too soon I was sorry the stories ended. This reader hopes the author will again be led to other areas of this ancient land and compelled to record her impressions, document her footsteps and publish a sequel.
Captivating, personal, historical exciting

Pamela captured the essence of what real history is about...the personal stories of people that were there creating them. It was so refreshing to read a personal account of a present day individual who investigated places, events and people by listeneing to the sounds and images that came to her over a period of 25 years. Having been a history major in undergraduate school I understand the personal journey to investigate how people interacted, made choices and effected events from the past....Pams personal journey to travel to the places where events unfolded brought it to an even more exciting comparison...It became ancient personal as well a present day personal.... Reading the book was like having a daily story being told to me by a well worded, intelligent person sitting across a table while we both had tea. I have always been drawn to Celtic information, however it has always had an ancient unreal mystery about it...Pam has brought it to a form that is so real, clear and exciting. It is great to now know how it was from a womans point of view who was actually there... The voices that prompted Pams personal journey to investigate the celtic ancient cultures was so easily explained and understood in her brief comparison of linear physics and string theory physics. (the most fluid expanation that I have ever been exposed to).... Enjoy!!
Sleeper of a book . . . sure to ignite the 'greenfire' within readers!

The story is woven around many threads. One being Pam's experience in 1982 of hearing the scream of a woman, who she discovered lived in the 5th century! For some, this sounds very weird; however, for those of us who have had, what I call, 'mystical experiences' (and usually unexplainable by our current reality's limited mind processes), it is a fascinating adventure. It has taken Pam 25 years to complete the story. In the book, she will share with you the 'why' of that. She has come to know that her passions for traveling and 'intuiting history' of a place meld well into the telling of stories of the ancestors. Another thread was the story of Anaias, the woman of the 5th century. I learned much about my own life by reading of her life. Some of my 'mystical experiences' began to make more sense. I call this book a 'sleeper' as it is Pam's first book, which I believe will/has opened the door to many more for her. She has the ability to seamlessly weave the reader into her own and Anaias's story. I can hardly wait for the next one, which she is already working on! May the Flame of Inspiration . . . the 'greenfire'. . . that IS your deepest spirit . . . once again ignite in you!
