THE ISLES OF THE MANY GODS: An A-Z of the Pagan Gods &
Goddesses worshipped in Ancient Britain during the first Millenium
CE through to the Middle Ages By David Rankine & Sorita D'Este
The British Isles have long been seen as a place of mystery &
magic. For many thousands of years successive waves of invaders
each brought their own gods & goddesses with them, often
assimilating the beliefs of the tribes they conquered. The Celtic
races merged with the indigenous people, they were conquered by the
Romans, who brought with them deities from all over the Roman
Empire (including Greece & Egypt). After them came the Saxons
& other Germanic tribes, further adding to the rich tapestry
that forms part of our spiritual heritage today. The Isles of the
Many Gods brings together, for the first time, information on the
worship of these deities in Britain, in an easy to use A-Z. It
includes both the native & immigrant gods & goddesses, from
well known gods like Apollo, Brigit, Freya, Herne, Isis, Mars &
Woden to lesser known ones like Abandinus, Arianrhod, Genii
Cucullati, Midir, Vitiris & the Wheel God. There are more than
240 entries providing information regarding the evidence of their
worship in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland & the Isle of Man.
Drawing from archaeology, architecture, art, artefacts, currency,
place-names & literature thereby providing an excellent
reference work for those interested in the spiritual beliefs of our
ancestors. About the Authors Sorita D'Este and David Rankine are
