Examines the saga of the Grail. Exploring the legend's Gnostic roots, this book considers how the legend of the Grail related to fertility rites with the lance and the cup serving as sexual symbols. It traces its origins to a Gnostic text that served as a link between ancient vegetation cults and the Celts and Christians who embellished the story.
