Synopsis

This text explores the mysteries which lie at the core of being male when one takes a quest into the Celtic-Teutonic-Christian myth of the Grail Castle. The Pagan Celtic culture's world view resonates for men today because it offers a direct experience with the spirit often lacking in their lives. The book describes four male archetypes - the king or father, the hero or warrior, the magician or wise man, and the lover - which the authors exemplify with stories from the Welsh Mabinogion, the Ulster Cycle and other old Pagan sources. Exercises and meditations designed to activate these inner myths should awaken men to how myths - as they live today in the collective unconscious and popular culture - shape their lives. Finally, men should be able to learn how to heal the Fisher King - who lies at the heart of the Grail Castle myth - to achieve integration of the four archetypal paths.
