Most of us have heard of Arthur: we know he has been a significant force in some of the most effective protests of recent years. This is the story of a man who found himself in the identity of a Dark Ages King, and how he got there. It shows us a man who embraces the energy of the Sun and the Earth to fight, unhesitatingly, the wrong around him. It is a book about living your own legend, and a book about acting as Druid in the world. It speaks with the greatest passion of truth and of love.
And it is suffused by the spirit of this season (Summer Solstice). In episode after episode, throughout the book, the vision arises of Arthur holding his sword aloft, a beacon of light standing – alone or with others – against the dark forces of unknowing. And he wins. Gently and stubbornly, he becomes the puzzle that those “in charge” of our society cannot solve: and often it is they, not he, who change.
It has shown me both how good I might be, and how far I am yet from where I need to be. I recommend it for some true inspiration. (And Liz has a few copies available at a reduced price right now, should you be interested).
