Описание:
Margaret Murray was an anthropologist who upset the comfortable consensus of her day with the idea that Western Europe did not convert 'en masse' to Christianity. Using contemporary accounts she was able to show that, while European rulers and nobles were successfully targeted by Christian missionaries, the majority of the population held tenaciously to the Old Religion. These far older beliefs centred upon the worship of Cernunnos, the figure of a male, horned god. The result was centuries of conflict between Christianity and 'Paganism' in which the adherents of the Cross gradually gained the ascendant. And following the general principle that 'the God of the old religion becomes the Devil of the new', the Christian 'Evil One' was given the characteristics of the pagan deity - horns and all. Those who stubbornly held to the Old Ways were seen as devil-worshippers, witches, followers of the left-hand path who fully deserved the stake and death by purging fire. Margaret Murray gives a convincing account of this God of the witches, and shows how many famous characters in European history - among them William Rufus, Joan of Arc and Thomas Beckett - must be counted as members of The Old Religion. A book for all those interested in the roots of Wicca and neo-paganism.
A heartwarming love saga with elements of deception, love lost and redemption.
Can a homecoming really erase old wounds and turn back the clock and years of hurt or are the Kenny women destined to remain unlucky in love? The hauntingly beautiful Brandon Lodge was where Clodagh Kenny fell in love with James Murray. When if tell apart, Clodagh fled to London. Thirty years on, James can't forget his betrayal of the woman he loved. Now a successful knitwear designer, Clodagh is about to open an outlet in the newly developed Brandon Lodge Enterprise Park. With her is Beth, the girl she raised as her own. James, father to Danny and Kathryn is awarded the security contract for the new park. In an unimaginable twist of fate, Danny meets Beth. When things go wrong, it is discovered that Danny's mother knows a lot more than she should. Suddenly James and Clodagh find themselves thrown together by their need to prevent history from repeating itself.
Destructive forces are at play to try to keep Danny and Beth apart and as things appear to spiral out of control, Clodagh and James must put their personal grievances aside to salvage their relationship.
This is a story of second chances for Clodagh and James and a generation later, for Danny and Beth.
It is a love story about betrayal, love lost and second chances over a thirty year period.
Emotional, romantic with very credible characters.
