Passages of the Soul

Résumé du livre

Aiming to show readers how to rediscover ancient ritual and to formulate rituals appropriate to living in the 20th century, this book examines the world concealed beneath our outer masks, and argues that people need ritual to integrate this world into their lives. It offers wide-ranging examples which can be experienced by individuals or groups, including a simple ritual for coming alive, and one to help come to terms with our own mortality or the death of loved ones. Personal accounts are included by participants in rituals conducted by the author.
