Giant Under the Mountain: & the Mystery of Sacrifice
About this ebook
When two friends, Jerell and Bill, share a vivid dream of a mysterious island, they embark on a solstice journey that leads them across turbulent waters and into a land hidden from ordinary sight. Guided by an ancient Interpreter and accompanied by a powerful, otherworldly horse, they encounter a realm shaped by elemental forces, archetypal creatures, and an unnamed pressure demanding release through ritual sacrifice.
As they attempt to rescue a captive girl and confront the shadowy forces behind the island's demand for blood, they face the legendary Giant who dwells beneath the mountain and the elusive Panther-man who haunts its waters. Their quest becomes a trial of courage, compassion, and the mystery of willing sacrifice.
Giant Under the Mountain is an archetypal tale of dream-logic and mythic confrontation, a symbolic journey into the roots of violence, power, and redemption. At once an adventure and a meditation, this story explores how small acts of sacrifice and love can tip the balance in a world caught between darkness and transformation.
About the author
As a young man, the author spent several weeks immersed in a symbolic world—an experience that allowed him to envision a fictional realm grounded in archetypal truth. He draws as well on his years of teaching college courses on the symbolism of Indigenous cultures and the mythic imagery found in Paleolithic cave art. His long engagement with his own dreams, and his work teaching dream interpretation, have helped him keep his archetypal insight alive and evolving.
