Descending into a hermit's cave, wading naked into an icy sea to pray, spending the night on a sacred mountain, Nick Mayhew-Smith recounts an extraordinary one-man mission to revive the ancient devotions of Britain's most enigmatic holy places. Based on ground-breaking research into the transition from Paganism to Christianity, and following in the footsteps of holy men and women such as Columba, Cuthbert, Etheldreda, and Samson, this book invites the reader on a journey into the heart of the Celtic wilderness. It offers a vision of how we can recover our harmony with the landscape, wildlife, and with the body itself.
