At the Table of the Grail: Magic & the Use of Imagination

At the Table of the Grail: Magic & the Use of Imagination

Hannah Closs
0/5 ( ratings)
The story of the Grail has been retold in countless versions, and it continues to exert an increasing fascination among all those who perceive its relevance to the present world crisis. The story is of a more than literary and historical interest: it is a true myth, and is therefore capable of awakening archetypal forces. As a symbol, the Grail is timeless: it is as much for now as for any time, since it represents the search for the numinous and the eternal, a way of communicating with the Divine.

Compiled by a leading authority on the Grail legend, this book brings together twelve experts, who discuss the many facets of the story and of the myth that lies behind it. The contributors lead the reader through the complexities of the historical and literary sources of the Grail, into the area of the esoteric and magical, where true appreciation of the mystery and power of the Grail can be experienced personally. There are practical sections in the text, which will enable readers to find their own way into the imaginative landscape of the Quest.
