The Water of Life Initiation and the Tempering of the Soul

At once a mythic journey, a study in depth psychology, and a treatise on initiation, The Water of Life addresses the roots of conflict, the recurring hunger for war, and the underlying need to return culture to its mythic context. Telling stories drawn from many cultures, Meades genius relies on the power of myth and the surprising gift of mythic imagination for solutions to the new threats and age-old dilemmas that increasingly plague humankind.
