You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real, grown, human being. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLiturgies of the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed mythographer, storyteller and Christian thinker Martin Shaw argues that we live in a myth-impoverished age and that such poverty has left us vulnerable to stories that may not wish us well. Drawing on the \"ancient technologies\" of myths and initiatory rites, Shaw provides a road to wholeness, maturity and connection. He teaches us to read a myth the way it wants to be read; provides vivid retellings of tales powerful enough to carry you through life's travails; and shows you how to gather and reshape your own thrown-away stories. Most vividly, he shares how these ancient technologies led him--unexpectedly--to Christ, \"the True Myth,\" by way of a thirty-year journey and a 101-night vigil in a Dartmoor forest. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining scholarly erudition with nimble storytelling in the tradition of C.S.
