The Poet & The Sage: <p>In this episode Simon Drew introduces his first published book, The Poet & The Sage, which is now available for pre-order at <a href="https://thewalledgarden.store/products/copy-of-the-poet-the-sage" target="_blank">thewalledgarden.store/products/copy-of-the-poet-the-sage</a>. </p> <p>About the book: The Poet & The Sage is an esoteric work of deep symbolism and archetypal metaphor. Delivered through the time-tested language of poetry and prose, The Poet & The Sage merges the worlds of philosophy, theology, mysticism, art, mythology, and narrative to convey deep truths about human nature, and about our common aim of being reunited with that which is most divine about us. The careful student will do well not to simply read this book, but to sit with it, and to allow the ideas therein to play gracefully within the heights and depths of their soul.</p> <p>The Poet & The Sage can be purchased in a hardcover format via <a href="https://thewalledga by The Walled Garden
