Devereux selects four key themes of antiquity - the concept of the sacred centre, pilgrimage, sacred geography, and divination. Each is given a one-page overview, then a fuller account of the theme exploring the ways it manifested over the ages with a range of examples from many cultures, followed by a short section describing ancient sites that expressed the theme, and culminating in an analysis of the basic, perennial principles that lay behind the theme. These ageless principles are then used as the basis for a set of experiments and exercises so the reader can obtain some direct personal insight into the dynamics of the theme, allowing the ancient mind to inform the modern one.
