You will find within these essays stories of outer plane magicians and their often dodgy inner plane Masters; yarns about past lives in Egypt, Roman Britain and Brittany; challenging ideas about parallel lives gained while cruising up the River Wye and gorging on custard creams. You will also learn about un-Holy Grails, time travel, Horned Gods, astral adventures, wild faery races, personal contacts with Beings of exalted provenance - some which were quite useless, though they still persist in nudging me even now. You will learn how stones can sing and hills can speak, and how All is One. Without invoking them, you will find the High Priest of Ptah, the Lady Tiu, Dion Fortune, the storm-force of du Lac and the wandering soul of Robert Kirk standing right behind you ready to teach you things - wonderful things - even though it might take you half a lifetime to understand.
