Ancient Stones, Modern Lessons:
Mortality, mysticism and miracles…
Nearly a decade in the making, award-winning author Dianne Ebertt Beeaff’s newest title, Spirit Stones: Unraveling the Mysteries of Western Europe’s Prehistoric Monuments, is now in full production. An intriguing, meticulously-researched work of nonfiction, Spirit Stones unearths society’s ancient lessons; their secrets long-buried in the relics of the Neolithic Era and Bronze Age civilizations. Sharing both the pragmatic and spiritual significance of Western Europe’s prehistoric stone monuments, stone circles and burial chambers, Beeaff challenges readers to reflect on humanity’s common ancestry, culture and connection. “Spirit Stones has been, for me, a journey through some of the most powerful places in our civilization’s history,” she says. “When we stand and reflect in many of these places, as I have been privileged to do, they inspire us to live more fully in the present, to capture and apply the powerful concentration of life they express.”
Both a history lesson and a modern-day guide to what the author refers to as “Spiritual Fitness,” Spirit Stones captivates readers with a unique metaphysical perspective. Providing insight into the contemporary relevance of ancient monuments like Stonehenge, Castlerigg, and Callanish, Beeaff makes masterful connections between timeless generations of humanity, leading willing participants on a quest both grounded in stone and spiritually transcendent. “In the standing stones and prehistoric burial chambers of our past,” she explains, “we have mystery and message on many levels. Through them, we can rediscover the inexhaustible, multifaceted, and wonderfully divine existence that is the life in all of us.”
