Description
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 wealthy world beneath Ireland’s brand new layers.
So many of lately’s Irish traditions reach back to our ancient past, to the flora and fauna: mountain climbing to the summit of a mountain at harvest time; circling a revered web site three, seven or nine times in a sun-wise direction; hanging offerings on a thorn tree; bringing the unwell and infirm to a sacred well.
Old Ways, Old Secrets shows us uncover the wisdom of the past, as fresh as it’s ancient.
