Second, the reason to embrace and celebrate these novels as the countercultural event that they are is due largely to the subliminal messages delivered by Harry and friends in their stolen wheelbarrows. Readers walk away, maybe a little softer on the occult than they were, but with story-embedded messages: the importance of a pure soul; love's power even over death; about sacrifice and loyalty; a host of images and shadows about Christ and how essential 'right belief' is for personal transformation and victory over internal and external evils.

When God is driven to the periphery of the public square, the human spiritual capacity longs for exercise, and it often finds it in the __uspension of disbelief_ and activity of the imagination that are available in novels and movies.
This is the power of myth: that we can experience invisible spiritual realities and truths greater than visible, material things in story form.
