Foreword

O ver the last few decades, I have watched Anthea Durand grow in confidence and stature within the spiritual field, so it is no surprise that she has sought to reveal her experience and knowledge in this welcome publication. Her first book, Illumination of the Shadow; Ancestral Wisdom from the Past for the Future, transcends the realities of ancestral fields, the realm of shadows, and the present world, and in so doing, seeks to heal the past and the present.

Antheas book is inspirational and enlightening in an area where there is little else that is comparable. The title of Antheas book itself is inspiring, resonating as it does with the increasing interest in and awareness of and the impact of ancestral healing and the importance of shadows, and their world. Antheas writing style is light and easy, drawing the reader along an informative path that weaves the world of our ancestors into our own lives. She successfully shows the significance of the former by shedding a light on the shadows that influence our modern-day reality.

Those people who share Antheas obvious passion for helping other people through spirituality and shamanism, will find her enlightened thoughts on ancestral and generic healing as well as family ancestral stories to be of enormous help and very appealing.

The narrative throughout the publication ten chapters is driven by Antheas practical experience of real-life ancestral narratives from her own work in both individual and groups sessions, and also by practical steps that have sought to heal the ancestral and shadow realities. Topics range from: Our Ancestral Fields of Existence: Pathways of Consciousness ().

Even for those people who have a passing interest in the field, Antheas book will inform, inspire illuminate, and hopefully heal.

Praise

I really enjoyed learning from a book with so much knowledge, which made me reflect about life, ancestors, traumas, emotions and society. The content is very rich and the examples complement each other well. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in his or her emotions and suffers from any strange illness/behaviours. Also, anyone who is interested in society, in life and healers.
