HOLY EUROPE | Book Trailer

November 20, 2024  /  Aki Cederberg

THE HOLY IS WHAT CONNECTS MAN TO THE TRANSCENDENT AND ETERNAL.

It is the hidden source of cultural vitality and a mysterious wellspring of renewal.

Part travelogue, part memoir, and part spiritual autobiography, Holy Europe is the story of one man's quest in search of the holiness that still abides in the land of his birth: in sacrificial groves and grottoes, sacred trees and ancient monuments, runestones, and inspired works of art and architecture created by the visionaries of recent centuries. These are the reservoirs of an age-old tradition of holiness that could rejuvenate European culture, opening the hearts and enlivening the spirits of her wayward sons and daughters.

Idealistic and irreverent, heartfelt and witty, Holy Europe is a guided tour through the secret histories of a continent. As the distillation of the author's journeys over many years, this impressive compendium of word and image represents a timely and poetic clarion call.

AKI CEDERBERG was born in Helsinki, Finland. His first book Journeys in the Kali Yuga (Inner Traditions, 2017) chronicled his travels to discover the unbroken magical traditions of the East. Aki conducts rites and rituals in accord with Finnic spiritual tradition, and is chief editor of Porvoon Kipinä, a magazine focusing on esotericism, history, art, and culture.

Holy Europe is illustrated with photographs taken by the author's wife and traveling companion JUSTINE CEDERBERG.

Ei sanat salahan joua eikä luottehet lovehen;
mahti ei joua maan rakohon, vaikka mahtajat menevät.

Words shall not be hid nor spells buried;
might shall not sink underground, though the mighty ones depart.
