"A magical mystery tour...
Embark on a magical voyage to the enchanted sites of the ancient world, all associated with legends of mystery and power.
From Stonehenge in England to the oracle of Apollo in Greece, Magical and Mystical Sites explores the most remarkable and significant places of antiquity — temples, places of learning, monuments, ruins, and sacred groves — and the legends that accompany them, including King Arthur, Merlin, witches, dragons, and magical rites.
Filled with details of historical data and local information, this book is a wonderful companion for both the armchair traveler and the actual visitor.
Magical and Mystical Sites explores the sacred and legendary places of the British Isles, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Greece, and more — places like Delphi, Atlantis, Chartres, and Glastonbury.
The discussions are highly readable yet consistently thorough, focussing not only on the lore and legends, but also covering archaeological discoveries, the nature of the old divinities, the relation of the sites to ancient culture and religion, and what these places are like today.
Rounded out with excellent photographs and maps, Magical and Mystical Sites invites the reader to explore our heritage, the beauty of past civilizations, and the achievements of humanity when we lived much closer to the earth and the magical powers of nature."
