Summary:
"Reveals the restorative fungi archetype of Osiris, the Orphic mysteries as an underground mycelium linking forests and people, how Dionysus teaches us about invasive species and playful sexuality, and the ecology of Jesus as depicted in his nature-focused parables. Liberates Tristan, Merlin, and the Grail legends from the bounds of Campbell's hero's journey and invites the
masculine
into more nuanced, complex ways of dealing with trauma, growth, and self-knowledge"--From publisher.
