ENDORSEMENTS AND REVIEWS:
"Dr. Geo Trevarthen has produced what I have to call a magical work — scholarly but not boring, spiritual but not restricting, enlightening without being stuffy; in short, a rewarding read for anyone who may have wondered what was behind the Harry Potter phenomenon and why it reaches so deeply into our core beings. I urge you to shout, "Accio The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter"... I guarantee you a mind- and heart-opening experience awaits."
Roy Bauer, DD, CSC, founder and director: The Circle of the Sacred Earth
"Written with fluency and vigour, this represents a very interesting and unusual way of relating J. K. Rowling's work to wider issues concerning the nature of magic, the lived imagination and the experience of alternative states of consciousness. This is a really remarkable achievement: a book which tells us lots of perceptive things about the Harry Potter stories, but also about the nature of magic itself."
Ronald J Hutton, Professor of History at the University of Bristol
"The Seeker's Guide is aptly named. The questing reader will find an extraordinary range of insights into the deeper meanings and thematic substrata of the Harry Potter books that illuminate the magnitude of JK Rowling's achievement in responding to the spiritual void of our times. The underlying message is our alchemical capacity for transformative action, the triumph of love over fear and death, the transcendence of petty concerns and limiting beliefs. The author brilliantly illuminates the ambiguities of the human situation depicted in the novels as well as our ultimate ability to reconcile the polarities in our lives. A 'tour de force'."
David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network
"A compassionate and enchanting commentary by an experienced shaman and seeker. Geo Trevarthen's Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter unlocks the door to the rich alchemical material in Harry Potter, not for its own sake, but for the wealth of wisdom hidden beneath its surface, wisdom that can help us magically transform our lives, and the life of the world."
Dr Neil Douglas-Klotz, author of "The Sufi Book of Life"
The author explains, "As our world rapidly moves towards ever greater spiritual, environmental and political challenges there is an urgent need for us to listen to the voices of respected healers, seers, visionaries and shamans whose wisdom, insights and leadership will inspire and guide us to make our planet a healthier, more peaceful and equitable place to live." For over two years, the author met and entered into profound dialogue with such remarkable people. This unique and important work brings together over 40 of the conversations that took place, revealing that there are many dimensions of existence overlapping and permeating the world as we know it. Every one of us has spirit helpers that can guide, heal and inspire us on our journey through life."
