LOOKING FOR ARTHUR

Looking for Arthur chronicles the training of a contemporary, self-styled and irreverent "Grail Knight" in the inner mysteries of Arthurian legend. Set in Glastonbury, England (site of the legendary Avalon) amidst a hub-bub of King Arthur buffs, occultists, and tourists, the narrator finds a wryly mystical teacher who introduces him to a multiple-bodied being of light named "Blaise". At once numinous, playful, and capable of instructing in visualizations of great beauty, Blaise appears to the Grail Knight's inner senses and helps him to integrate practice, lore, and doctrine culled from mystery traditions ancient and modern, Eastern and Western. Looking for Arthur is a literary tour-de force, as well as a veritable trove of "occult" practice, lore, and wisdom.
