  Much has been written about witchcraft, the new age , paganism, the Celtic religion, Celtic mythology, the druids and the Arthurian mysteries. However, there is little about the shadowy pagan gods and goddesses of Britain's Old Religion - Britain's pagan heritage. This book fills that gap with new, up-to-date material drawn from the latest research in archaeology and folklore. Organizing Britain and Ireland into seven different historial regions, this book takes readers on a mystery tour through 50 little-known places to visit where the magic of the Old Religion survives, places which can be visited, touched and felt. Subjects include sacred wells, springs and rivers, venerated trees, the cult of stones, Celtic heads and screaming skulls, pagan festivals and curious customs and traditions, pagan temples and holy places, and Christianization of the pagan cuts.
