Weston, after more than thirty years of study, wrote a little book entitled From Ritual to Romance (London: Cambridge […]...

How conscious are you?

Meister Eckhart (the thirtheenth-century German mystic) once said, “if you fight your death, you’ll feel the demons tearing away your life, but, if you have the right attitude to death, you will be able to see that the devils are really angels setting your spirit free.

Mysteries of the Man Rune and the Graal
