Andy Hilton is author of Anthropology and Mysticism in the Making of Initiation. He is also coeditor of the anthology, Perspectives on Commoning.

Here he shares his optimistic vision of a world in which universal education is understood to be an initiatory process. He suggests that young people are being drawn into a new vision of spirituality through such media as superhero comics and movies, as well as the Harry Potter series and much science fiction. He emphasizes that initiation is a long-term process of which rituals are only a small part.
