“… The drums changed, slowing the staccato rhythm to a slow, deep thrumming that got into her gut, drawing her…

High above a figure stood in the centre of the eye, stark against the fire glow, arms raised.

The posture was echoed by he who stood atop the mound above her…

Vision flickered across the worlds and outside of time. High on the hillside a larger figure was brought into the light.

A knife was drawn… flesh was cut… a cry echoed from below as blood dripped into the Eye…

Tonight they would feast on the flesh of the Goddess…

Tonight a chief had been made…”

The Initiate is the story of a discovery seen through the lens of a camera that takes Don and Wen on a quest that spans centuries of sacred sites from stone circles to hill figures, barrows to churches seeking to understand a phenomenon of light.

Woven through the adventure is another tale, glimpsed at the heart of the most ancient of holy places… the green earth of Albion.

It tells how lives span the centuries, souls entwined in a dance that never ceases… it tells of the Feathered Seer and the Ninth Knight and a world, ever changing, seen through their eyes…

THE INITIATE:

Adventures in Sacred Chromatography

Sue Vincent & Stuart France

Foreword by Steve Tanham

Imagine wandering through an ancient landscape wrought in earth and stone, exploring the sacred sites of peoples long ago and far away in time and history. The mounds and barrows whisper legends of heroes and magic, painted walls sing of saints and miracles and vision seeps through the cracks of consciousness.

Now imagine that the lens of the camera captures a magical light in soft blues and misty greens and gold. A light that seems to have no cause in physical reality. What would you do?

If you were open to the possibility of deeper realities, perhaps you would wish to explore this strange phenomenon…something two people came to know as sacred chromatography.

The Initiate is the story of just such a journey  beyond the realms of our accustomed normality. It is a factual tale told in a fictional manner. In this way did the Bards of old hide in the legends and deeds of heroes those deeper truths for those who had eyes to see and ears to hear.

As the veils thin and waver, time shifts and the present is peopled with the shadowy figures of the past, weaving their tales through a quest for understanding and opening wide the doors of perception for those who seek to see beyond the surface of reality.
