This is an astonishing and profound work, not really for the spiritual tourist. Take time, read the associated gene keys, perhaps dwell on each seal for two weeks or more. It’s beautiful and rewards contemplation, deep and serious consideration. Each of the seven meditations/invocations involves a corresponding figure from tantric thought, and in fact follows something of tantric formal prayers, but this is our own culture. Rudd is a poet, and the invocations all framed in mystical and yet nature inspired descriptions, which are so vivid and real that it is easy to get caught up in the visualisations. One may even attain insights, epiphanies, perhaps steps towards enlightenment with this practice! Jenny Jones
