The monotheistic faiths that dominate Western history are relative newcomers compared to the ancient spiritual heritage they banished through civil laws. This book sheds new light on the ancient origins of religion to give Wiccans, Witches and Neo-Pagans a sense of where they belong in history. It's an evocative, readable account of how Pagan and mainstream beliefs evolved and interacted over the centuries, with meditations, spells, and 26 illustrations.
