NEW!!

The roots of modern Paganism are nourished by soil of old Albion, whose inherently pagan past has always lain barely hidden beneath the surface. This rich heritage is constantly being mined by archaeologists and folklorists, and has provided the building blocks for the reconstruction of the Old Religion. This book takes the reader on a journey through the mythical, historical and archaeological landscape of England, visiting some of its lesser known sites and exploring some of the stranger aspects of folklore, music, tradition, myth and legend that have survived in our sacred landscape.

Explore Folklore by Bob Trubshaw

Explore Folklore shows there is much more to folklore than morris dancing and fifty-something folksingers! The rituals of 'what we do on our holidays', funerals, stag nights and 'lingerie parties' are all full of 'unselfconsious' folk customs. Indeed, folklore is something that is integral to all our lives – it is so intrinsic we do not think of it as being 'folklore'.

The implicit ideas underlying folk lore and customs are also explored. There might appear to be little in common between people who touch wood for luck (a 'tradition' invented in the last 200 years) and legends about people who believe they have been abducted and subjected to intimate body examinations by aliens. Yet, in their varying ways, these and other 'folk beliefs' reflect the wide spectrum of belief and disbelief in what is easily dismissed as 'superstition'.

Explore Folklore provides a lively introduction to the study of most genres of British folklore, presenting the more contentious and profound ideas in a readily accessible manner.

Charge of the Goddess by Doreen Valiente

'Charge of the Goddess' was published after the author's death. It was always Doreen's wish that her poetry should reach a wider audience and since her usual publishers Robert Hales weren't interested it fell to a group of her friends to see that it happened according to her wishes. The result is a beautiful book which contains 41 poems, including the famous 'charge'. The pages contain facsimiles of the original texts, with notes and explanations, and many wonderful photographs and photomontages by John Hooper of Doreen's ritual equipment as well as pictures of the Sussex coast and countryside where she spent her last years. Originally published at £13.99
