A look at the relevance in our contemporary life of the mediaeval Cathars - the 'good men and women'. Articles and talks, many of them from the White Eagle Lodge magazine Stella Polaris. Colum Hayward suggests that although the title 'Cathar' meant little to the followers of the solace heresy, it offers a suggestion of a collection of beliefs and ideals that can really inform the choices we make for our lives in the twenty-first century. If we believe, as many do, that 'we were once Cathars', now is the time to own that title and live up to the heritage that was once so special to us.
