Description
The Lost Book of the Grail: Unveiling the Sevenfold Path of the Grail and the Restoration of the Faery Accord This book reveals the long-forgotten prequel to the Grail mythos and its profound resonance with modern times. It includes the complete text of the Grail prequel, The Elucidation of the Grail, a 13th-century poem newly translated by Gareth Knight and Caitlín Matthews. The authors examine the forgotten story of the Faery Wars and the role of Well Maidens in the Grail story, shedding light on the Seven Guardians of the Stories, the Grail Kings and Anti-Grail Kings, the Rich Company, the Courts of Joy, and the otherworldly Land of Women. The authors provide a complete commentary on the poem, revealing a startling alternative cause of the Wasteland and the Grail quest, one which has a profound resonance with our own times. They explore the forgotten story of the Faery Wars and explain the Faery Accord, an agreement that once existed between humans and the Faery and upon which the spiritual and physical health of the land depends. The offering of the Grail and its regenerative powers by the Maidens of the Wells--Faery women--was part of this Accord. By uncovering the long-forgotten prequel to the Grail quest, this book offers a unique perspective on the Grail narrative and its relevance to our modern world.
