This book is ideal for both the general reader and those studying anthropology. It examines one line of inquiry into the preservation of an ancient European cult and its relationship with the religion that eventually overtook it. From early Paleolithic times, the worship of the Horned God is traced through the ages, referencing how its survival depended upon the survival of the people who revered it in the face of foreign influxes of other beliefs. Dr. Margaret Alice Murray supports these theories.
