Uses the story of Parsival to explore the path of initiation to healing speech.
In this book storyteller and ceremonialist Linda Sussman explores how to speak in a new way -- one that heals and transforms. She takes the epic story of the Grail, as told by Wolfram von Eschenbach, as her guide and sees it as depicting the path of initiation to healing speech: to doing the truth in word and deed.
First, she retells the story in a beautiful way, allowing readers to reproduce within themselves the potent inner pictures of the text. Then she shows that it is not so much a path toward perfection, as the recovery of a right relationship to our imperfections. She shows, too, that it is a path in which male and female aspects work together in the overcoming of evil.,
