“The Cross of Thoth” is a book by Crichton E. M. Miller. It talks about the origins of the Celtic Cross, which has become a symbol for Celtic spirituality. This cross has been used to solve mysteries that have been around for centuries.

The audiobook sounds like it was made by amateurs. The production quality is low, and the speakers are hard to hear at times. This is made worse by the music playing in the background. The audiobook feels more like a podcast or talk show than an audiobook.

It is not clear if this has a physical book or is just an audiobook. If there is a physical book, it would be easier to read and learn something. On a personal level, I struggled to pay attention, between the music in the background and the poor audio quality. A physical copy would allow me to read the words and absorb the information more easily.

It is easy to tell how the chapters are split up. The songs change, and there is a break in the speaking. By the end of the “book,” the chapters are shorter, and there are more breaks in between these segments.

The audiobook is less than an hour long, which adds to it feeling more like a podcast than an audiobook. There are some things that seem out of place, but they are eventually connected back to the subject.

One thing that resonated with me was learning about the Cross to honor your ancestors and learn about where you come from. This is something that is deeply important to me. I have learned that learning where I come from and about my ancestry has taught me so much about who I am.

Overall, I was disappointed in this “audiobook.” The production quality was low, even if it was meant to be a podcast. I feel like it was hard to hear the speakers due to the low quality. As such, I feel like I did not learn anything, which is frustrating. However, this has inspired me to want to do further research to learn more about the Celtic cross.
