On the day The Beatles Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely-Hearts Club, is released in June 1967, Raphael falls off his motorbike and momentarily dies. In a vision, he sees Shiva, the father of Yoga, and is altered in a way he cannot understand.

Raf is propelled on a quest to travel into the heart of Yoga, and following his mysterious antique-dealer father’s death, is initiated into the lineage of Merlin, as a weaver of the electromagnetic web of Aquarius, and like his father, a finder of sacred objects.

During the Wake, a famous ‘whodunit’ writer, hands Raf the Wand of Ra, destined to play a role on sacred sites, such as Tintagel, Glastonbury, the City of London - eventually Mount Kailash and the Great White Pyramid, at the ‘centre’ of the world. But first, following a dream, Raf discovers the missing Sun Disc of the Japanese God Ameratzu, in Cornwall.

From here on, Raf finds himself in a world governed by dark forces determined to stop humanity’s awakening and the end of suppression of the divinity of the feminine – and all he did was fall off a motorbike.
