Caitlín Matthews - A Hallowquest Sanctuary

Within this sanctuary, all who quest for the sacred hallows are welcome: we hear the ancestral voices and sing the ancient stories, remembering who we are. This Sanctuary is hospitable to all people of good will, without persuasion or judgement.

I find Caitlín Matthews to be a vital voice in the restoration of the ancient wisdom of the western world. Her books are an important contribution to the remembrance of the old ways in this part of the world.

As Variously As Possible

By Tom Cheetham

Turbulent Thinking in an Emerging World

Tom Cheetham has been hugely influential in my understanding of the imaginal as per the Islamic mystics and scholars of the medieval world. His Substack is phenomenal, and his book 'Imaginal Love' a must read.
