Walking Sacred Sites: Listening to their Stories
by Margaret W. Jones; Published by Maine Authors Publishing
As a travel guide and storyteller, Margaret invites us into her world. She transports us to places she has visited, from her search for ancestral sites in Wales and Scotland to sacred sites in England, Ireland and Jordan. She walks the land, listens deeply and hears the story as well as feels the ancestors’ presence. With compelling detail, Margaret narrates a lesser- known history of these sacred places by touching stones, kneeling before holy wells and sensing the more invisible forces around her. She hears the whispers of the ancestors who once lived there and weaves magic into their deeper stories.
