Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The mention of pagan Britain conjures up images of witchcraft, Druid rites, and the unspeakable powers of Merlin the Mage whose legend was transformed by the priests of a new religion called Christianity. In this one-of-a-kind book, folklorist David Clarke takes the reader on a magical mystery tour through fifty little-known places where the magic of the Old Religion still survives. Includes sacred wells, springs, and rivers, venerated trees, Celtic heads, and screaming skulls, pagan temples and holy places. A joyous excursion into the mysteries of Britain as it used to be.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting information but weak analysis, July 20, 2008
All in all, I thought this book was OK and contained a fair bit of interesting information and stories but I found the analysis fairly weak. On the positive side, the author avoids many of the problems that characterize some of the new-age material. The author discusses cases of human sacrifices and the like without being overly starry-eyed.

On the negative side, the book is clearly written with Wiccans in mind. One choice "observation" the author makes is that all Irish gods were patterned on In Dagda. This sort of thinking ignores well over half a century of research into Indo-European comparative mythology.

All in all, Wiccans will probably like this book a lot, and the rest of us will try to sift through to find stories of value.
