Spirit Roads: An Exploration of Otherwordly Routes

Embark on a journey into previously unimagined worlds. With this first practical work of its kind to mingle oral history, anecdotes, and historical facts, readers can explore actual landscape features in Britain, Ireland, Mexico, and the United States that possess spiritual and magical qualities. Find out how these special pathways fit into a broader “spirit way” framework, and then get ready to travel around the globe to examine dozens of sites. Location details and practical information are given along with historic and folkloric associations, and descriptions of reported “hauntings” or “sightings” of spirit entities. Examine the ancient Mayan “white ways;” mysterious roads around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico; church paths in Europe on which the dead may have walked.
