Book Description

"THE CAULDRON & THE GRAIL is the most important & controversial book on the Grail in thirty years."-London Literary Review. "A concise, new approach through archaeology & astronomy. Very thought provoking."-Kirkus Reviews. Although THE CAULDRON & THE GRAIL is part of a trilogy, each volume stands alone. All relevant material is covered in each book & nothing is held back. Volume I redefines the Grail as a concave ritual object noticeable in all religions & high rituals. Harrison takes us step by step through the various eras of Western History & shows us how the image of the sacred object evolved from Paleolithic shamanism into the image of the Celtic cauldron of Aanwyn & the Greek Dionysian cup, the Kykion, The Grail finds its final expression in the Gothic Cathedrals. Volume II, THE ACE OF CUPS, emphasizes the mysteries & initiations of the Tarot, while Volume III, THE GODDESS & THE GRAIL, covers the sacred landscape, the Goddess cult, & the Glastonbury-Arthurian traditions. Goddess & New Age readers will love this even handed approach. Harrison claims the archaeologists have been lying to us for the past two hundred years.
