Book Reviews of The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter
Book Review: Seeker's Guide a Treasure!
Summary: 5 Stars
Geo Trevarthen's Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter is an absolute treasure. I read the "Guide" just after finishing Rowling's 7th book. Geo draws on her extensive knowledge of Celtic spirituality and myth to reveal the deep symbolism contained in the Harry Potter series. The author's thorough investigation and explanation of the elements and themes contained in the novels goes beyond other more superficial looks at the Potter books.
This insightful and humorous exploration of the Harry Potter Series is a must read for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the spiritual and mythical elements contained in the novels.
Upon finishing "The Seeker's Guide", I now plan to read the entire Potter series again with a renewed appreciation of Rowling's incorporation of history and myth within her works.
Summary of The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter
The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter offers 'seekers' of all kinds profound and fascinating insights into the narrative themes, symbols and mythic elements encountered in the Harry Potter books. Drawing from diverse spiritual and scholarly sources, it is an open-minded guide to the rich layers of meaning and symbolism we encounter in all seven of the novels.The Seeker's Guide doesn't try to 'read' J.K. Rowling's mind about the symbolism she may or may not have meant to put in the books, but to read the symbols as they appear, with some of the layers of meaning that they have traditionally held. Drawing from anthropology, theology, psychology and the history of the human experience of the Sacred, The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter offers fans of any or no spiritual faith a deeper sense of magic and meaning in the novels and in their own lives.General Books
