In recent years the search for spirituality has grown in leaps and bounds. I believe it is no mere coincidence that attendance in the main monotheistic churches have been in decline. However it is clear that the general disillusionment with the church has not stopped people yearning for alternative forms of spirituality.

Since the birth to the New Age movement of the 1970s, we have had a multitude of authors exploring, seemingly every aspect of New Age, Occult, and mysticism in a plethora of books.

For the novice or newbie seeker this may seem a little overwhelming. Additionally many books fall into very specialist subjects or if they are eclectic, may not be very clear on how this spirituality or mysticism works in everyday life.

This is where I believe spirituality in fantasy fiction comes in as a life saver. In books such as ‘The Celestine Prophecy’ and ‘The Touchwood Chronicles’ series, the author writes about the spiritual journey of an everyday person.

In The Touchwood Chronicles, the main character encounters some very interesting people who work practically with their particular brand of spirituality. Consequently as he progresses on his adventure, he explores many aspects of spirituality. You can see how it enters his life and how he can practically apply the knowledge gained and bring it into his everyday life. Along the way you’ll experience laughs, and suspense. You will become emotionally attached to the characters that have been created. And it has to be said that there are some very fruity episodes as well.

But most importantly, I believe you'll experience many insights and visions birthing a soulful awakening, allowing you to view the world in a very different and positive way.
