I love this book. It is in question and answer form with Bill Moyers doing the questioning of the author. The author is obviously an expert in very ancient mythology and uses his own innate wisdom to link it to some of the happenings of today....We get to learn from the author the values of knowing the very old ways and the results of not bringing those values forward into modern times, what different symbols used to mean, for example (Solomon's Seal) and what current symbols mean to civilization today, concscienceness, dreams, sacrifice, are examined and other deep and enduring lessons are learned...It is so much more than follow your bliss... you'll enjoy this one
