Old Ways, Old Secrets Zusammenfassung

Old Ways, Old Secrets: Pagan Ireland: Myth * Landscape * Tradition Jo Kerrigan

In a land like ours, the old beliefs bring pleasure and wisdom...

Exploring the legends, special places and treasured practices of old, Jo Kerrigan reveals a rich world beneath Ireland's modern layers.

So many of today's Irish traditions reach back to our ancient past, to the natural world: climbing to the summit of a mountain at harvest time; circling a revered site three, seven or nine times in a sun-wise direction; hanging offerings on a thorn tree; bringing the ailing and infirm to a sacred well.

Old Ways, Old Secrets shows us how to uncover the wisdom of the past, as fresh as it is ancient.
