The Mill House Speaks: Seven Pathways to the Ancestral Basque Homeland
Seven Pathways to the Ancestral Basque Homeland are an integration of this universal ancestral journey-a road map of living Basque folklore, connected to the major areas of life, with life lessons from nature and perennial wisdoms, daily life actions (sun), character attributes and inner qualities (moon), the cycles of seasons and everyday tools for building one's life dream.
Foreword by Angeles Arrien, Ph.D.

"The Seven Pathways, are just that; obvious yet often overlooked. By integrating each of the pathways into everyday life, we see that each moment is sacred and purposeful".
- Angeles Arrien, PhD, Cultural Anthropologist
