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. 'Inviting, lyrical text and beautiful,
atmospheric photographs ... A fascinating read.' Evening Echo on
West Cork: A Place Apart
