Seven Sacred Sites
“Sometimes, if you’re lucky enough, you will come across a book that has an energy so great it moves beyond its pages. Seven Sacred Sites is such a book. Brilliantly written and stunningly produced, the magical journeys within this book will inspire you to dream, to travel and to ponder your own place here on our wonderful planet.”
Kylie Matthews, Manly Daily book reviewer

“Seven Sacred Sites: Magical Journeys That Will Change Your Life is a must-read. This spiritual, historical and geographical journey will help you discover not only about our wondrous surroundings but, perhaps more importantly, yourself as well.”
Andrea Black, travel editor, New Idea magazine

“Seven Sacred Sites is by far the best travel book I’ve read this year. Serene Conneeley’s style evokes the great travel writers like Michener, who weave cultural anthropology seamlessly into an entertaining traveller’s tale. To me, that’s a recipe for pure reading pleasure. I’d recommend Seven Sacred Sites to any armchair traveller – and it is absolute gold for those interested in the spiritual traditions that continue to shape our world.”
Joanne Lock, travel editor, Spheres magazine

“This is a book that is a sacred journey in itself. Walk through its pages, and you may be drawn to one of the magical places on your life path. But the spirit of them lives within the book, so they speak to you as you travel in your mind inspired by the words.”
Cassandra Eason, British author

“Seven Sacred Sites is essential reading for all those contemplating attending or preparing for a spiritual journey... or simply trying to understand the effect these sacred power sites have on us all.”
Elisabeth Jensen, founder of Isis Mystery School

“Serene’s journey to these seven sacred sites has ignited a spiritual, emotional and physiological urge to immerse myself in the mysteries and gifts that each place has to offer. No book has ever enticed me to travel, in so many ways, as this one has.”
Anita Revel, Australian author

“I wish I’d had this book in my hands years ago, when I was stumbling along my path and travelling (meandering? wandering?) throughout the world. Having it with me would have illuminated all sorts of mysteries and jewels that I know I missed – but now that I do have it, I will take it with me wherever I go, and everywhere I go will be made more magickal for having this companion travel with me. It’s a rich and lovely, very wise and tender friend and companion, with good advice and lovely insights and lots to share and inspire you in your travels, be they physical or of the imaginary kind.
“Serene is a beautiful writer too. She’s managed to write about her own travels in such a way that you feel like you’re voyaging with a lovely friend, and she has written about the mythos and history of each place in bright, delicious, interesting ways – and then she’s done the mystical work and really understood and described the heart and soul of each sacred place, in ways that remind us why travelling to sacred sites is one of the best things you can do with the time you have here on this planet, this lifetime.
“Please buy this book: and then take your time reading it. Let Seven Sacred Sites’s magic do its work, and before too many pages you will be gazing into the well of Glastonbury; standing in sun-drenched fields along the Camino, or feeling Pele breathe beneath your feet as you climb the crest of a volcano in Hawaii. And if you do go to these places, or plan to go, or dream of going, you really do need to take this book: it will add richness, depth, mystery and fascinating facts to what will be the journey of a lifetime.”
Lucy Cavendish, author and oracle card creator

A Magical Journey

“Serene Conneeley has released another gem for the adventurers amongst us. What distinguishes A Magical Journey from the pack is Serene’s emphasis on enchanting the writing process. It’s a really interesting concept, and is a book that looks great and feels gorgeous to the touch, which is important for a product designed to be used in this way.”
Joanne Lock, Spheres magazine

“A beautiful journal to plan and record your spiritual journey to a sacred place or on the inner planes. A Magical Journey joins Serene’s first book Seven Sacred Sites on my essential reading list for Isis Sacred Journeys to Egypt.”
Elisabeth Jensen, Principal of Isis Mystery School

“I love this new book! The cover is enchanting, and I love the section with all the ways to celebrate the different cycles of nature using a journal – they provide a more meaningful, insightful and personal way to work with the energies of the different times of the year. I’ve already put a few of the quotes from the journal pages up at work, and I can’t wait to finish writing in my current journal so I can start in my new magical one!”
Lisa Douglas, yoga teacher

“Serene, after reading A Magical Journey, I feel you’ve helped me to connect back to self (when I hadn’t realised I was so lost). I am so much more at peace and much more aware of my behaviours – both good and not so good! Ahhh, I am a work in progress! I venture forth with boldness, compassion and a renewed sense of self, and I thank you from the depths of my heart and soul for the opportunity to grow.”
Marissa Clarkson, bereavement counsellor
