Hello Archdruid! Thank you once again for the opportunity for all of us to talk together and especially for what you say...
Question: have you encountered the work of the English novelist John Cowper Powys? I have recently started reading his very long book A Glastonbury Romance and I have been astonished and delighted by his sheer skill as a writer (there are many passages of wonderful beauty describing the natural environment), by the seriousness with which he handles the Grail legends and a good deal of other mythological material, and by an narrative voice that accepts the existence of non-human consciousness in the most straightforward way.
