Spiritual, magical, mystical!

Author Lewis Spence spends a great deal of time trying to explain to the reader that he is not the authority on this subject, however the depth of the passages in this book contradict his claim. The book offers readers a very detailed summary of various forms of the Magic Arts (Celtic spirituality, Arthurian Legend, Druids, etc...)....Rating of 4 stars only because there are just a small smattering of sketches/plates to accompany the text. I've read in various interviews with Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant that this book inspired him to write Stairway to Heaven!
