It is 2060 and a drought is devastating the planet. With an evil water cartel breathing down her neck, a spunky young woman devises a plan to refurbish a castle in King Arthurs time and utilize it to train promising candidates from a previous generation on how to tackle complex environmental problems. If everything goes the way Rowan hopes, the future may change in unpredictable ways. Before Rowan voyages back to Camelot to execute the project, she chooses time traveler pioneers, Nathan and Lindsey, to be her Grail Guardians. In order to fight the water cartel, Nathan and Lindsey must learn how to combat the drought and develop the chivalric qualities of courage, truthfulness, and determination. After Rowan arrives in Camelot and recruits the experienced time travelers, Nathan develops his knightly skills while Lindsey begins her training at the Grail Castle. As the water cartel does everything in its power to thwart Rowans plan, a chain of events leads to an epic confrontation at the castle that will determine the fate of millions. In this exciting tale for teens, two young time travelers embark on a dangerous journey to King Arthurs court to carry out one womans vision to save the planet from overwhelming environmental challenges.

The tribal initiation of the shaman, the archetype of the serpent, exemplifies the death of the self and a rebirth into transcendent life. This book traces the images of spiritual initiation in religious rituals and myths of resurrection, poems and epics, cycles of nature, and art and dreaming. It dramatizes the metamorphosis from a common experience of death's inevitability into a transcendent freedom beyond individual limitations. "This is a classic work in analytical psychology that offers crucial insights on the meaning of death symbolism (and its inevitably accompanying rebirth and resurrection symbolism) as part of the great theme of initiation, of which [Henderson] is the world's foremost psychological interpreter. This material is really the next step after the hero myth that Joseph Campbell has made so popular, and provides an understanding of how not to use the hero myth in an inflated way as a psychology of mastery, but as an attainment progressively to be died beyond. [Henderson] is helped by the presence of Maud Oakes, who is a trained anthropologist with exquisite taste in her choice of mythic materials and respect for their original contexts."--John Beebe

King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior, according to Loomis, whose research into the background of the Arthurian legend reveals findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial. The author sees the vegetarian goddess as the prototype of many damsels in Arthurian romance, and Arthur's knights as the gods of sun and storm. If Loomis's arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur?

The renowned and illustrious tales of King Arthur, his knights and the Round Table pervade all European vernaculars, as well as the Latin tradition. Arthurian narrative material, which had originally been transmitted in oral culture, began to be inscribed regularly in the twelfth century, developing from (pseudo-)historical beginnings in the Latin chronicles of "historians" such as Geoffrey of Monmouth into masterful literary works like the romances of Chrétien de Troyes. Evidently a big hit, Arthur found himself being swiftly translated, adapted and integrated into the literary traditions of almost every European vernacular during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This Handbook seeks to showcase the European character of Arthurian romance both past and present. By working across national philological boundaries, which in the past have tended to segregate the study of Arthurian romance according to language, as well as by exploring primary texts from different vernaculars and the Latin tradition in conjunction with recent theoretical concepts and approaches, this Handbook brings together a pioneering and more complete view of the specifically European context of Arthurian romance, and promotes the more connected study of Arthurian literature across the entirety of its European context.
