 The
Magus of Strovolos
The extraordinary world of a spiritual healer
Kyriacos C. Markides
The Magus of Strovolos: Ever
since his childhood, Kyriacos C. Markides has heard mysterious
rumours concerning the Magus of Strovolos, Cyprus's ‘specialist of
the netherworld’.
When he
returns to Cyprus as an adult, Markides seeks out this master healer
and spiritual teacher, to discover the old man for himself. Armed
with the scepticism he learned as a sociologist, combined with his
passion to explore the inner world and beliefs of this strange
Magus, Markides soon learns to appreciate the power and wisdom of
this peaceful and humorous soul.
From
his exorcism of a Jewish girl haunted by Nazi ghosts to his theory
of reincarnation, the Magus reveals to Markides the extraordinary
secrets of his philosophy, challenging Western materialism and
science, and pointing towards vast domains we normally cannot see.
In
writing his own personal account, Markides seeks to bring the master
healer’s teachings to the world. By reading it, we too undertake his
spiritual journey . . .
