Book Review – Ancient Future & Celestial Triad 2018-01-24T13:33:31+10:00 Bekah Evie Bel

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

These books are hard really, I like them but at the same time… I enjoy the ideas in these books, the philosophical and spiritual implications are rather wonderful, but therein lies the problem. It truly does get a little preachy at times, far-fetched even to an Eclectic Pagan such as myself. I love the reincarnation aspects, I love the fairies and deities who are not actually gods, the immortality I am uncaring about either way, the mind over matter concept is great, the merging of every mythology into a single truth is interesting.

And truth to tell, a lot of the concepts in these books are ones that I believe in, many are ones that I have studied and am interested in, but still, it is all too much. I suppose that is the ultimate problem with this series, there are TOO many interesting philosophical and spiritual concepts. A lot of the ideas in these books are big enough that many people would take a while to grasp the basic premises of just a single one of them. Put every major concept into 6 books, one continuing story, and you have a mass of people completely missing the points within each individual philosophy. Personally if I were trying to enlighten people to such mysteries, I would use one or two of the major concepts in a single story line, and then use different concepts in an entirely new story line.

Beyond that problem, I had a few difficulties with the language used in ancient Gwynnedd and certain elements of the characters are just awful really. I had a couple other little dislikes as well, but in truth it was all minor compared to the big one I have already mentioned.

Overall, I like these books a lot, but, I will never be able bring myself to read them more than once every five plus years (and I can read favourites more than once a year). I give a massive amount of respect to Traci Harding, having a low grasp on written English, and being dyslexic, she really is impressive.
