PATHS TO THE SIDHE - ILLUMINATING QUOTES FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SIDHE by David Spangler with

Photography by Robert Everett Skenes

“Words are paths to meaning, to feeling, to inner experiencing. A word-path guides our mind, our consciousness to travel in given directions to arrive at meaning.

If words make paths, then images are the scenic overlooks to which they lead. An image presents something new and not yet experienced--beyond the path of words--for engagement and for participation in meaning-making. Sometimes this happens in an instant, in a flash of wholeness. Other times, study and careful noticing are needed to glean more from the richness of a scene.

Through the marriage of David's and Mariel's quotes with my pictures, this short eBook combines these two ways of knowing, of experiencing, of meaning-making. I hope that you will find this to be a happy marriage, one in which both words and images partner to create for you a deeper experience of knowing, of insight, of being, of joy.” from Paths to the Sidhe by Robert Skenes

Robert Skenes’ photography captures the essential quality of joy and beauty that radiate from the Sidhe. His images propel us past ancient impressions of medieval warriors into the flowing dance of color and light that represents the Sidhe today.
