Praise for ONCE AND FUTURE MYTHS
“Phil Cousineau's Once and Future Myths reveals the
timeless power of sacred story with personal charm and sweeping
vision. Whether delving into the pathos of time or travel, the pains of
the creative process, the deep need for mentors in our youth culture,
or the mystique of sport and city life, with grace we are shown the
soul behind the surface of things, the rich meaning behind our
everyday lives. Poet and travel-meister Cousineau has
given us a twenty-first-century guidebook for the
re-enchantment of the world.”
—MICHAEL GROSSO, Ph.D., author of
The Millennium Myth and Soulmaking
“One can always count on Cousineau to address the deeper mysteries
of life in warmhearted, searchingly honest, and helpful ways.”
—ALEXANDER ELIOT, author of The Global Myths
Praise for The Art of Pilgrimage
“If Joseph Campbell, the Dalai Lama, and Bill Moyers were
to have collaborated on a book about journeys…I suspect it
would look very much like The Art of Pilgrimage.”
—Austin American-Statesman
“Phil Cousineau's lifetime of pilgrimage has taken him from
the depths of lost jungles to the heights of the human soul, always
with passion, curiosity, warmth, wisdom, and humor. And in this
little golden guide, he brings us along with him. This is an
experience not to be missed, for any reason.”
—MORT ROSENBLUM, author of Olives:Life and Lore of a Noble Fruit
