Overview

"Forged in Ancient Fires" and its companion work "Messiah in the Making" form the two-volume set known as "The Phoenix Principle." These works provide survey figures ranging from Moses and Jesus to King Arthur, from Robin Hood to the Queen of Sheba. They offer a comprehensive look at a ritual tradition that spanned oceans and continents, centuries and millennia. Classical myths, historical accounts and faerie tales are mined to reveal the universal theme behind them: the principle of regeneration. The Phoenix Principle is nothing less than the tradition that supported ancient kings in their kingdoms, preserved bloodlines through the ages and gave birth to modern Western religion. It linked monarchs to their land and guided the epic struggle between the king and his chosen successor - between wizard and knight, between sun and shadow.
