The roots of modern Paganism are nourished by the soil of Old England whose inherently pagan past has always lain barely hidden beneath the surface. This rich heritage is constantly being mined by archaeologists and folklorists. Here we are shown some of the stranger aspects of folklore, music, tradition, myth and legend that have survived in the Sacred Landscape of England.
