Can one just invent or reinvent an authentic, living faith? Collin Cleary argues that the gods have not died or forsaken us so much as w…e have died to or forsaken them. Modern civilization - including much of modern neo-paganism - springs from a mindset that closes man off to the divine and traps us in a world of our own creations. Drawing upon sources from Taoism to Heidegger, Collin Cleary describes how we can attain an attitude of openness that may allow the gods to return. In these nine wide-ranging essays, Collin Cleary also explores the Nordic pagan tradition, Tantrism, the writings of Alain de Benoist, Karl Maria Wiligut, and Alejandro Jodorowski, and Patrick McGoohan's classic series, The Prisoner. The essays are models of how to combine clarity and wit with spiritual depth and intellectual sophistication. "Larvatus Prodeo" - Rene Descartes. Includes index. 197 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.
