From the back cover: "Bringing together the highlights from a decade of independent reseaarch into ancient monuments, prehistoric rock art, mythology, and altered states of consciousness, this collection is an idiosyncratic trip into the archaic imagination. Grappling with personal gnosis, dense complexes of religious symbolism, and recent academic research into the significance of trance states in the very earliest human creations, the author constructs a labyrinth of lucid reflections that provoke, bewitch, and illuminate."
