Ashe is one of the foremost authorities on King Arthur, and his writings are entertaining and very approachable. This book examines myths, mysticism and arcane knowlege that seem to point to the legendary time of Shambhala: secret doctrines, numerology, mystical symbols. Somehow these ideas continue to thrive throughout history and shape our culture: Tarot, astrology, deep magic, and so on. This is not a book about religion or philosophy, but an attempt to show reasonably how these various beliefs came into our world view and thus understand their truths.
