Those of you who have read The Secret Garden of the Soul, may recall how Allan Armstrong described the ‘Tradition’ being passed down from generation to generation. Well, the Tales of Brother Marcus is essentially a story about a group of young men and women coming into contact with the Tradition and its guardians.

The story is told by Joe, a twenty-something year old man in search of spiritual enlightenment. He has spent years wandering the world seeking mystical knowledge and the fellowship of the spiritually enlightened, but without success. After a fruitless search in India and the East, Joe returns home to England, a weary and disillusioned pilgrim without hope of finding the mystical experience that has eluded him for so long.

On the verge of giving up his quest altogether Joe is invited to attend a discussion on mysticism and spirituality at the ancient and mysterious Rose Priory, where he is introduced to the enigmatic Brother Marcus. Little does he realise that this meeting is the beginning of an extraordinary adventure . . . .

Although it is a novel, this story is patently more than a work of fiction.
