Between the Worlds: Notes from the Threshold

by Sarah Kate Istra Winter

With 20 years of experience as a devotional polytheist and spirit-worker, Sarah Kate Istra Winter presents a second collection of short essays and poems examining a life in the company of gods and spirits. A companion to Dwelling on the Threshold, Between the Worlds covers a wide range of topics, including localizing reconstructionist traditions, resisting distractions from the spiritual path, exploring altered states of consciousness, problems in the pagan community, the importance of discernment, communicating with the divine, animism in practice, deepening devotional relationships, the challenges of mysticism, and working magic in both worlds at once.

This is holy Work, but it doesn't come with a map. For those wandering through these often mysterious lands, the knowledge and guidance shared within these pages will provide some small illumination of the road ahead.

I'm a fan of this author and not surprised to find this one is also a 5 star. Despite a faint whiff of disdain for polytheists who aren't as full-time 24/7 commited, it reminds me of the beauty of aspiring to it. Mysticism is such a solitary path. I love discovering new points of connection with what others are doing, how weirdly the patterns unfold, the twists of the labyrinth walk. And so many great ideas as how to make my practice even better.
