Title: Not an easy read
Review: At first glance, this reads like a PH dissertation with footnotes and sources. It wanders from subject to subject without any real closure from the last subject, as if the reader should know how it ends. This doesn't make it completely unreadable, though. I found some interesting thought processes.Remote beliefs of an early people included horned stag gods due to a lifestyle of tending animals for food. All new religions degrade the old religions by demonizing them, and in this case, rams with horns indicate the devil these days. From this, the author jumps into fairies, elves, dwarfs as the original people of the old religion, and how these folk were really us, eventually absorbed into the local populace. From this, we go into witchcraft and covens, the Inquisition and persecution.It's hard to follow, and I'm not sure where it will lead. Because of this, it is easy to put down and walk away.
