There is great contemporary interest in the mystery centres of
antiquity, such as prehistoric caves, the pyramids of Egypt,
Newgrange in Ireland, and the Externsteine in Germany. The trials
and rites that took place there were for the chosen few, and are
vividly described in this book -- from the trials of fire and water
to the three-day near-death sleep. The author goes on to argue that
modern-day initiation, however, has a substantially different
character. Whereas a 'hierophant' -- a guide -- was previously
needed to navigate a trial, these days it is life itself which
brings us trials, which can sometimes lead to deeper experiences of
the spiritual.
