Looking for Arthur

By Richard Leviton

Fictional "spiritual autobiography," Arthurian fantasy, and compendium of instruction in mystical and magical practices, _Looking For Arthur_ presents, in a contemporary setting, the entire scope of materials surrounding the legend of King Arthur. By turns reverent and impious, earnest and witty, metaphysical and lighthearted, the book is set in present-day Glastonbury amidst a hub-bub of occultists, mystics, and tourists swarming about the ruins of this ancient site of Arthurian lore. We follow the narrator as he is inducted into the living myth of King Arthur, the energies of the sacred landscape, the "secret history" of the earth, and the role of angels, gnomes, and ascended masters in the redemption of human culture, while we experience a completely unexpected side to this once and future myth.

Customer Reviews

Esoteric training probably required, but has great humor too

Richard Leviton must have been studying arcane systems and beliefs all his life to have written this. It mixes everything from the Arthurian myth traditions to Bhuddism with a lot of the Qabbala thrown in. It was not what I would call an easy read in some places, but the story line and the rollicking antics of Leviton's multi-angelic mentor Blaise made it worth it. Then too, there's that twist to the ending that kept me awake all night. And what the heck is geomancy anyway? I would be extremely interested in hearing from other readers how they felt about this book, if they wish...
