Sacred Journeys and Vision Quests

“Sacred Journeys and Vision Quests” is a personal memoir of sacred, mystical events which have occurred in Lois J Wetzel's own life over a period of thirty years—starting with being saved during a close brush with death in Acapulco. She lavishly chronicles her trips to various known sacred sites on the planet from a powerful healing experience while climbing the iconic pyramid Kukulcan with her two young sons—to her more recent visits to even larger pyramids in Bosnia. Lois narrates a fascinating series of experiences, from camping solo at Mt.Shasta to an accidental meeting with a major player from a past life in Sedona. A white-knuckle five day trip whitewater rafting down the mighty Colorado River through the Grand Canyon with other players from past lives is particularly thrilling. Lois relates to us her mystical events in some of England’s more famous spiritual sites on major ley lines including Glastonbury’s Isle of Avalon, Avebury’s standing stones and Wiltshire’s summer crop formations to surprising spiritual experiences in ordinary locations. Whether it is a miracle on a road trip, a bizarre meeting during short jaunt to the grocery store, or simply a meditative technique for looking into a mirror and seeing “The Parade of Faces” and viewing her own past lives, this book is a fascinating view of the world as seen through the eyes of a modern day mystic. Lois Wetzel's honest, vulnerable memoir helps us to see more deeply into our own everyday life. She reminds us not to overlook the mystical in our own daily encounters, and to trust our Guidance that we, too, may be in the right place at the right time and remain open and aware so that when we are unexpectedly touched by the Divine, it does not pass by us unacknowledged. Here is a telling quote from the book about one of her most profound experiences: “This seems to be how Spirit works. We get what we need when Spirit decides we need it. One cannot pay a guru to make something sacred happen. Spirit is no respecter of class or of birth, nor wealth, and not even of hard-earned social status. The experience of the numinous transcends everything we in the Western civilization even deem important, it seems to me. It chooses us not based upon our culturally accepted successes, but upon something else entirely.” In other words, Spirit takes us by surprise. And it can happen to you. This is a travel journal as well. If you love travel, this book is also for you. "Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway." ~ Mother Teresa
