Description
A spellbinding book of discovery. Looking firstly at the stars, those watchers above that men call angels. There are tales that geometry, mathematics and astronomy flowered earlier and in a purer form in the British Isles before the classical period in Greece and Rome. The Druids or their predecessors certainly brought astronomy into the daylight hours and the sacred apple, cultivated in the Hesperades, still survives in the English shires of the 20th century. Contents include: Stars and Angels; Meteorites, annual meteor showers and the Cog Almanac; Druids, Deneholes and Astronomy; The Applewell, the Meaning of Numbers, Related Pagan Ballads. The science of this second volume in the Caer Sidhe series helps to explain and underwrite the theories and interpretations of volume one.
