摘要
Discover the mystical powers of dozens of sites in the western half of the U.S. and Mexico in Sacred Sites of the West by Bernyce Barlow.
Sacred Sites of the West is a travel guide to some of the most amazing areas in the world. Filled with numerous photos, including almost a dozen in full color, it shares personal experiences and folklore of the majesty and wonder of these sites. Included are goddess and warrior sites, healing centers, energy wellsprings, vision caves, and sites that have inspired those who hear the spirit of the place speak.
Visit Cataract Canyon in Utah, a powerful sacred site with the Colorado River running through, providing an adrenaline rush for any who dare the rapids
Learn about the Indian Canyons near Palm Springs, California, where the spirits of ancient Indians still reside
Discover Mount Shasta in Northern California, the mystery mountain known for UFO activity and strange lights
Uncover the secrets of Montezuma's Well in Arizona, a huge, limestone sinkhole held sacred by Native Americans and kept secret from the Spanish who entered the region in the 1500s
See the high plateau in Montana called Ulm Pishkum, seemly haunted by the friendly tribes who used to gather for ceremonies and barter
Wonder at the spiritual secrets of the Painted Desert of Arizona and its neighbor, the Petrified Forest.
Sacred Sites of the West is valuable addition to your knowledge of magical areas. If you use this book as a travel companion, you will experience the journey of a lifetime.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Barlow broadly explores the idea that some locations are more spiritually compelling than others, then sets herself the task of documenting such sites in the western states. Many of the sites--Mounts Tamalpais and Baldy, Shasta canyons, the Joshua Tree National Forest, etc.--are in California; a similarly large number, including Canyon de Chelly and the Grand Canyon, are in Arizona, which perhaps makes the book undeniably attractive to western states' libraries. Lots of mythic and cultural details support Barlow's designation of these sites as sacred, and she also cites contemporary stories of healings and other transformations that took place in these places. --Patricia Monaghan

In this unusual travel guide, Barlow, a Californian and retired educator and abuse therapist, describes natural energy centers throughout the American West, Hawaii, and Mexico. Biofields, the physics of matter, and energy anomalies have created natural phenomena that have the ability to influence us spiritually, mentally, and physically, she notes. Barlow particularly appeals to women as she describes goddess and warrior sites, centers of emergence, balance and harmony, petroglyphs, and springs and mountains that have powerful spirits of place. Although she cautions us to come prepared to these sacred sites, she provides no practical advice, directions, or traditional travel-guide information such as lodging and meals. Recommended only where interest in New Age topics is high.Janine A. Reid, Jefferson Cty. P.L., Lakewood, Colo. (c) Copyright 2010.
