Description

Twilight of the Godlings: The Shadowy Beginnings of Britain's Supernatural Beings The history of Britain's supernatural beings is a complex and fascinating one, with a rich cultural heritage that spans centuries. From the pre-Roman Iron Age to the end of the Middle Ages, the godlings of Britain have been a part of the island's folklore, influencing the way people understood the world around them. This book offers a fresh perspective on the godlings, arguing that they cannot be simply seen as the remnants of pagan gods and goddesses. Instead, it suggests that they were part of a popular religiosity influenced by classical learning, and that their history is more nuanced and multifaceted than previously thought. By exploring the elusive history of the godlings, Francis Young provides an exciting new way of understanding Britain's most mysterious mythical inhabitants.
