Overview

In the final instalment of her well-received Two White Feathers trilogy, Jenny Chapman describes a personal journey around the landscape of the Glastonbury Zodiac. Starting at the Girt Dog of Langport and reaching to Burrow Mump, she immerses herself in each of the astrological signs and their giant effi gies imprinted on the Somerset landscape. The resulting story is a fascinating insight into how to heal childhood trauma and grief, and the need to move beyond them and communicate with the spirit worlds. As she attempts to unravel the mysteries of King Arthur's round table and her own psyche, Jenny encounters the Underworld where lie the demons of her past. It takes the guidance of an enigmatic storyteller to lead her through to new knowledge and wisdom - encountering the Tuatha De Danann, an ancient fairy race, the Irish sea-God Manannan mac Lir, the Cetus whale and Merlin's dragons. Dogged by her alter-ego Angela, she reckons with her feelings for the mystical Graham. Jenny uses story, myth and legend to vividly communicate each step of her journey. The introduction records her lived experience between 21st August 2017 and 2nd July 2019, whilst the story itself details each step in her physical and spiritual progress. The book closes with a set of notes that describe her learnings on the Arthurian Legends, Consciousness, Divination and Ancestral Healing. Summerlands off ers both a thought-provoking testament to the potential results of trauma, grief and identity issues as well as a practical guide to the evolutionary process of consciousness via our personal cosmology, stories and the planets.

I find this book literally spell binding. I'm truly enthralled! It's more of a poem in a way. Each paragraph is multi-layered with the images and feelings and what's left in the unsaid. I am almost crying! I want to buy ten to give to my friends. I am crying! Something is happening to me as I read this! It's bringing the ancient past alive in the present and connecting sky and earth and multi-ethnic dimensions! You're a genius. I'm reading slowly because I have to digest each sentence! Congratulations! Cal Peacock - America Really enjoying the book Jenny, finding it very honest and spiritually interesting, has so many facets, very good. Kelsang Tsondru - UK The real-life sticky trail of childhood crisis and illness, leading to struggle, challenge, awareness, awakening. Dancing through myth, magic, history with an unfathomable knowledge. Set in the truly sensual geography of islands on an inland sea. Present this for a movie, and consult. Rob Chapman - Canada I have just finished reading your book. I loved it and felt on many occasions I was walking with you on your sometimes hard, sad and difficult but wonderful journey. It makes me feel like going on my own journey of discovering my ancestry and understanding myself and why I am the way I am. Pato Lawson - Australia You often display a beautiful turn of phrase that captures the nature of the landscape and the moments of awareness that illuminate our reality. That is because you sense the energy very, very finely indeed. It speaks of your apprenticeship to the realm of energy very highly. Importantly for you I think your rendition attunes the reader to the experienced reality of a spiritual life in the material world. It is available for all of us if we choose to do pilgrimage in the land, and this land zodiac in particular; and if we choose to do pilgrimage in our everyday lives in general. The supports and signs are available for us, are readable in the web of life and in the codes of myth. The amazing grace is that our emotional life and our feeling senses can connect into this network of experience and find resonance there, harmonious synchronicities that hold meaning and peace. What a wonderful weaving of all these levels of perception Jenny!! Rosemary Taylor - UK Thank you so much for your latest book. Quite remarkable. I have learnt so much, and the Glastonbury Zodiac was always so hazy, and I did not know what to feel or tune in to.... Big thanks for the lovely book and the best of luck with it. Your trilogy is a great achievement. Eliana Harvey - UK When I first started reading Summerlands it was with a curious mind. Where it led me boggled that mind! As Jenny's sister I discovered, when my memories of her illness surfaced, that a family energetic pattern had been established as each of us strove to cope and survive her near loss. With each chapter my own shadow behaviours, and masks that I had hidden behind, rose to the surface to be acknowledged and released and I realized this enchanting book was pure gold and a path to wholeness.
