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. 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.

In this exclusive study, the author continues on from where his successful last book on this subject, THE NEW PAGAN HANDBOOK, left off. Within this unique book Pat Regan reveals the mysterious nature of the diverse, spiritual forces underlying the British landscape. The ancient peoples, who made their impact on the British Isles, influenced many later cultures after them. A great deal of pre-Christian heritage came to the British Isles from the Celts, Saxons, Romans and Vikings etc. This incredible Pagan legacy went on to give rise to countless traditions that later spread to the rest of the globe. The organic Paganism of the British Isles is therefore in many ways a central point for the Old Religion that mysteriously held sway over the native people of so many lands. These green isles held their own thriving native spirituality, folklore and customs long before intolerant church missionaries from far away spread their restrictive, 'one-god' doctrine on the inhabitants on the land. In this ground-breaking book Pat Regan brings together numerous mythological aspects, surrounding the old gods and goddesses of the native countryside and explains how they may influence us today

What is Wicca? Is it witchcraft, Paganism, occultism, esotericism, magic, spirituality, mysticism, nature religion, secrecy, gnosis, the exotic or 'other'? Wicca has been defined by and explored within all these contexts over the past thirty years by anthropologists, sociologists and historians, but there has been a tendency to sublimate and negate the role of Christianity in Wicca's historical and contemporary contexts. Joanne Pearson 'prowls the borderlands of Christianity' to uncover the untold history of Wicca. Exploring the problematic nature of the Wiccan claim of marginality, it contains a groundbreaking analysis of themes in Christian traditions that are inherent in the development of contemporary Wicca. These focus on the accusations which have been levelled against Catholisicm, heterodoxy and witchcraft throughout history: ritual, deviant sexuality and magic.

Paganism is held to be the fastest growing 'religion' in Britain today. Pagan identities and constructions of sacredness contest assumptions of a 'closed' past and untouchable heritage, within a socio-politics in which prehistoric archaeology - the stone circles, burial cairns, and rock art of the British Isles - is itself subject to political and economic threats. Pagans see prehistoric monuments in a living, enchanted landscape of deities, ancestors, spirits, 'wights, ' and other non-human agencies to be engaged with for personal and community empowerment. From all areas of Britain and indeed worldwide, people come to sacred sites of prehistory to make pilgrimages, befriend places, give offerings, act as unofficial 'site guardians, ' and campaign for 'site welfare.' Summer solstice access at Stonehenge attracts tens of thousands of celebrants. Threats of quarrying near Derbyshire's Nine Ladies stone circle or Yorkshire's Thornborough Henges lead to protests and campaigns for the preservation of sacred landscapes and conservation of plant and animal species. Pagans can be seen as allies to the interests of heritage management, yet instances of site damage and recent claims for the reburial of non-Christian human remains disrupt the preservation ethos of those who manage and study these sites, and the large-scale celebrations at Stonehenge and Avebury are subject to continual negotiation. In this book, an anthropologist and archaeologist examine interfaces between paganism and archaeology, considering the emergence of 'sacred sites' in pagan and heritage discourse and the implications of pagan involvement for heritage management, archaeology, and anthropology.

"Pagans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. Yet there are many written works which constitute its testament. Some of them are thousands of years old, such as the Descent of Ishtar, and The Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Others are more recent, such as The Charge of the Goddess." "A Pagan Testament collects these original works, along with the poetry and prose that inspired the founders of the modern Pagan movement. It also includes the largest collection of circle songs and wisdom teachings ever published, which are the Pagan equivalent of the Biblical Psalms and Proverbs."--BOOK JACKET.

The most comprehensive study available of neo-pagan religious movements in North America and Europe. Modern Paganism in World Cultures collects the work of specialists in religion, folklore, and related fields to provide a comprehensive treatment of the movement to reestablish pre-Christian religions. Detailed accounts of the belief systems and rituals of each religion, along with analysis of the cultural, social, and political factors fueling the return to ancestral religious practice, make this a rich, singular resource. Scandinavian Asatru, Latvian Dievturi, American Wicca—long-dormant religions are taking on new life as people seek connection with their heritage and look for more satisfying approaches to the pressures of postmodernism. The Neopagan movement is a small but growing influence in Western culture. This book provides a map to these resurgent religions and an examination of the origins of the Neopagan movement.
