"Beautifully written, graceful, and wise."
-- Rupert Sheldrake

"Horses and the Mystical Path reveals the oneness of all life and how we humans benefit when we reduce the barriers between animals and ourselves. Animals have much to teach us, and we are healthier when we allow these communications to flower. Horses and the Mystical Path shows the universality of consciousness and the sacredness of all life -- a lesson our world desperately needs."
-- Dr. Larry Dossey, author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things

"Strap yourself into a Celtic saddle for a stirring mystical ride into the horse-human relationship. The McCormicks take us on a provocative journey through spirit, time, and place, aiding our parched souls to soak up ancient Celtic and Sufi as well as modern Celtic-Christian wisdom for coming into right relationship with all living things. This book will open the heart of readers to the divine in nature, and in themselves, through one of our most ancient of teachers and most beloved of co-walkers: the horse."
-- Frank MacEowen, Celtic shamanic guide and author of The Mist-Filled Path

"An engaging, accessible exploration of ancient myths, modern psycho-spiritual theory, and profound personal experience. The McCormicks follow their horses into a deeper, more soulful realm, one where four-legged sages tutor, enliven, and uplift the human spirit."
-- Linda Kohanov, author of The Tao of Equus and Riding between the Worlds

"Adele, Deborah, and Thomas McCormick have given us a very beautiful and compelling book on Celtic mysticism. This cosmic, nature-based spirituality is deeply connected with horses, as well as other species, and explores their powerful natural connections with us and with life itself."
-- Brother Wayne Teasdale, author of The Mystic Heart and A Monk in the World
