| Abstract | "Martin Shaw proposes that we look to the "ancient technologies," the myths and initiatory rites, for help achieving maturity and wholeness. Drawing on his experience as a guide for wilderness rites of passage, Shaw teaches you to read a myth the way it wants to be read; provides vivid retellings of tales powerful enough to carry you through life's travails; and shows you how to gather and reshape your own thrown-away stories. Most vividly, he shares how these ancient technologies led him--unexpectedly--to Christ, "the True Myth," by way of a thirty-year journey and a 101-night vigil in a Dartmoor forest"-- Provided by publisher. |
