Featured on the official website of the Owen Barfield Literary Estate as Recommended Reading

For readers who have sensed that Tolkien, Lewis, and Barfield are pointing toward something deeper than fantasy, this book reveals the hidden current:

The Music behind the myth.
The Sound behind the stories.
The Invisible that makes the visible shine.

If you love the Inklings — or if you feel that true art “means more than it says” — this book was written for you.

🔍 What This Book Will Help You Discover

• The mystical worldview that inspired Tolkien, Lewis, and Barfield

• Why The Lord of the Rings feels “enchanted” — and what Ilúvatar’s Music has to do with your own inner life

• How Barfield’s concept of the Silver Trumpet reveals the evolution of human consciousness

• Why words, when spoken aright, invoke reality rather than merely describe it

• How the Inklings used story, symbol, and myth to awaken what Barfield called “poetic imagination”

🎵 The Silver Trumpet: A Doorway Into the Invisible

In The Silver Trumpet, Owen Barfield captured a mystery:
A Sound that awakens a person from unconsciousness.
A mystical moment when the veil lifts.
A shift of consciousness so profound that the world is never seen the same way again.

The Inklings called this inner awakening “poetic imagination.”
It is the moment when the world becomes transparent to what lies behind it.
A moment when words effect what they name.

This book traces that hidden thread — from MacDonald to Chesterton, from Tolkien’s Ilúvatar to Barfield’s vision of consciousness.

📘 Inside This Book
