Synopsis: THE SACRED SPIRAL takes a Celtic path with many Shamanic tones. However, it is a major Truth that there is no one single “True Path”, and all symbols, as well as mythologies, resonate differently with all people. The Sacred Spiral is a compilation of rites and explanations of how’s and why’s for usage, for all paths are basically correct. Dracaena feels it is of utmost importance that a person learn to use their intuition, and The Sacred Spiral helps guide one to do that! She does not feel it is right for any one person to tell another whether they can or cannot learn something! Each person’s Spiritual evolution is different from others! Yet work must be done to earn respect and knowledge!

Many people prefer and are very capable of learning with their own intuition. The Sacred Spiral will help empower one to understand many of the symbols and visions that come to them, which a person may use this wisdom to grow!

Autobiography: Dracaena A. Paxx has been a mystic and practicing Druid for over 30 years. She has learned from many teachers and, in time, founded her group, THE SOCIETY OF THE WAXING MOON. The SOCIETY met weekly with rituals at regular intervals. The SOCIETY is now a Facebook group, and discussions are held continually. She has regularly taught the Society using many lessons found in this book and questions the group members would discuss at length. As many individuals search for mystical/ spiritual knowledge, she has compiled her teachings in this book. It is sad that so many obstacles are in the way of those who wish to study, so it is essential to Dracaena that everyone has access to this knowledge and learns to empower themselves. Dracaena has been married for over 25 years and has two adult children. She has a BS in education and a Master’s Degree in Social work in progress.
