REVIEWS REVIEWS ¢ eachers of symmetry and geometry and they remind us of our deepest memories of wholeness. Indeed, they can connect us with the universal oneness. Beauty is the language of lowers, and Critchlow helps entice us into their unfolding, spiralling domains to discover a higher realm of contemplation. Beauty really is ruth, as this magnificent work shows. Whisperer is so named because, of all the incredible messages, advice and wisdom she's received from our animal friends, the communications from a whale have been the most profound. And that's saying something, because her favourite dog (which appeared to her in Egypt) as well as wild species like the white buffalo, orca, bear, whale shark, elephant, white lion and seal have told her telepathically that we need to live with love and respect for life and our planet. The animals know that a crisis is upon us and are trying to work with us to help save humans and the natural world. Walker walks (and swims) the talk in her uplifting book that has inspiring messages for us all. (See the review of Walker's CD Whale Whispers, Lion Roars in 18/05.)

In his elegantly presented large-format book, Prof. Keith Critchlow includes over 500 breathtaking colour photographs, illustrations and hand drawings to go with his engaging text. The foreword is by HRH The Prince of Wales, who waxes lyrically about the beauty of Nature and the Divine Order and has made his garden at Highgrove available for Critchlow’s use. Prof. Critchlow examines flowers from four perspectives: the material level or the bodily flower, seed, leaf or plant; the social or psychological level, covering how flowers affect us both in actuality and symbolically; the cultural and mythological level, reflecting the significance afforded to flowers and plants by various cultures through the ages; and the inspirational level, which invites us into a more subtle level of seeing, understanding and being. To Prof. Critchlow, flowers are THE WHALE WHISPERER: Healing Messages from the Animal Kingdom to Help Mankind and the Planet by Madeleine Walker Findhorn Press, Forres, UK, 2010 ISBN 978-1-84409-5377 (219 pp tpb) Available: www.findhornpress.com Bust intuitive Madeleine Walker has always had a special affinity with animals, but it took a trip to Egypt and a reconnection with the goddess Hathor and the sacred lions of the temple to acknowledge her spiritual path and her gift for animal communication and psychic healing. Walker is the author of An Exchange of Love, and here she touches on some of the heartfelt stories in that book; for example, the time that she helped both horse and rider connect with their incarnations together in antiquity and heal the physical and emotional wounds that they suffered.
