Book Description
A desperate mother spirits away her infant son, seemingly drawn (chased, perhaps?) to the small English village of Thornyhill. She ends up on the doorstep of old Bartlemy, a curious man who has lived on the forested land for as long as anyone can remember–and who comes to believe that the child is destined for great things. . . . While growing up under Bartlemy’s protective eye, Nathan Ward senses something else watching him, a shift of shadows in the surrounding Darkwood. Then pieces of his dreams begin to come to life. A man he saved from the ocean washes ashore on the television news. A greenish stone cup set with jewels that has haunted his visions sounds eerily like one lost by the Thorn family centuries ago–a cup that has recently made its way back into the hands of the village’s last living ancestor. Yet when Nathan learns the chalice may have come from another world, a land with bloodstained moons and a toxic sun, he knows he is destined to play a part in something beyond his most vivid imagination. But why is the cup here, and what could it possibly want with a teenage boy and a sleepy town of villagers full of tall tales? With the help of his best friend, Hazel, Nathan must figure out why he’s been chosen–and for what purpose. Even if it means traveling deeper each night into dreams, into lands, into legends that both terrify and mesmerize him. The Greenthorn Grail is the first novel of a thrilling new trilogy, tracing a boy’s journey–a quest rife with magic, wonder, and forces as dark as midnight.

Book Description
Over thousands of years, the real story of the Holy Grail has become buried under layers of religious and superstitious dogma when it was actually a far more ancient talismanic symbol for sacred shamanic sex that used to be practised in Sovereignty rites and known to alchemists as the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon. In this breathtaking adventure story - full of romance and spread in a vivid panorama across the Three Worlds - you will learn about the true meaning of the Holy Grail from mythological characters like the Lord of the Underworld, Gwyn ap Nudd, Elen, Gwyddion and Arianrhod. You will follow Myrddin (Merlin), Taliesin and Manawydan in their quest to bury the Thirteen Treasures of Britain and despite the best efforts of the Eye of Soros, Bricriu of the Poison Tongue and Vlak the Dragon Slayer, who are furiously trying to steal the Sovereignty.Running through this book is a golden seam of ancient wisdom teachings about how shamanic sex magic is vital for sparking Sovereignty and self-empowerment. We follow the spiritual awakening of a middle-aged prostitute in fifth century Britain and, as we accompany her along the path to self-knowledge and enlightenment, we also benefit from the teachings she receives and thus begin our own quest."Who does the Grail serve?" asked King Arthur's knight, Galahad, in the thirteenth century High History of the Holy Grail.It is here to serve you. After reading The Grail Mysteries you will have a much deeper understanding about the spiritual significance of the Holy Grail and about how it can still help any genuine quester today.

Book Description
Composed by an unknown author in early thirteenth-century France, The Quest of the Holy Grail is a fusion of Arthurian legend and Christian symbolism, reinterpreting ancient Celtic myth as a profound spiritual fable. It recounts the quest of the knights of Camelot - the simple Perceval, the thoughtful Bors, the rash Gawain, the weak Lancelot and the saintly Galahad - as they journey through danger and temptation to reach the elusive Holy Grail. But only one of them is judged worthy to see the mysteries within the sacred vessel, and look upon the ineffable. Enfused with tragic grandeur and an aura of mysticism, The Quest is an absorbing and radiant allegory of man's perilous search for divine grace, and had a profound influence on later Arthurian romances and versions of the Grail legend. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
