Encyclopedia of Earth Myths: An Insider's A - Z Guide to Mythic People, Places, Objects, and Events Central to the Earth's Visionary Geography »

In another of his many books on myths, sacred sites, and landscape spirituality, Leviton looks at 153 items from the myths of 21 different cultures and interprets them in terms of what they reveal about Earth's visionary geography. Valuable knowledge about the planet's secret soul life and energy body is embedded in the myths, he says, as though scattered through all cultures waiting for someone to assemble and decode them. Brigit's Mantle, Hanuman, Minotaur, Peacock Angel, and Vocub Caquix are among his topics. He does not provide an index or bibliography, only cross-references to other entries.
