Embark on a journey into a previously unimagined world, one where seemingly ordinary paths are in fact ancient, spiritual roads. With this first practical work of its kind, which mingles 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 fairy paths and spirit roads 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," the mysterious roads around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico, church paths in Europe that were trodden by funeral processions and became used by the dead, and more.
