Persephone Unveiled reveals the goddess in all her guises, as the daughter of Demeter; the Queen of the Underworld; the archetypal female healer; and as a central figure in the Eleusinian Mysteries, where celebrants experienced sacred visions through secret rituals fueled by an LSD-like substance. The author examines the known details about the psychoactive agent and explores the Mysteries' influence on, and relationship to, early Christianity. Guided meditations, using active imagination techniques, help readers summon an experience with the goddess.
Editorial : "Stein has created the most powerful and authoritative book I have ever read on the nature and consequence of divine revelation."-Peter Manchester, associate professor of philosophy at Stony Brook University and author of The Syntax of Time"Beginning where other scholars leave off, Charles Stein crosses the radiant field of the Goddesses to touch the lip of the ineffable. Instead of being silenced, he elucidates—quietly at first, ecstatically later, bearing witness to the timeless visionary core of the ancient Mysteries in what, in fact, is a profoundly reasoned approach that resonates Now."-Nor Hall, author of The Moon and the Virgin, Those Women, and Irons in the Fire"In Charles Stein the Mysteries have found their true Speaker. They have always needed a scholar who was a philosopher, a philosopher who was a poet, and Stein is all three, in generous measure.

Osinski's account in this book, the step-father, Dale Johnston was the only normal person in the county. History Exam. My only regret is that is not longer. The male characters are well-developed, but our heroine seems to be too easy going to be a warrior of such high caliber.. should be easy to read.. I strongly recommend it to anyone who uses a camera either casually or consciously striving to grow their eye.. I'm so sad that this is the last book out of this set of series but it was a wonderful ending. I've had some more clinical
