Harry Radegeis - Cult Sites in Germany

Harry Radegeis - Cult Sites in Germany

This book brings us closer to the heritage of our ancestors, to which we stand with reverence and obligation.

This section describes, using a number of cult sites in Germany as examples, their likely purpose, the diversity of practices that existed there, and the astonishing knowledge and sophisticated worldview our ancestors possessed. This topic can be approached from a variety of perspectives, but it repeatedly becomes clear that a fundamental idea underlies all the changes over millennia.

One can view a cult site from a researcher's perspective, from a religious or aesthetic standpoint: the fascination remains. Whether a colossal rock sanctuary or the tranquil spring of a forest nymph, or the soberly deliberating Thing, an ecstatic festival, or the inquisitive spirit of astronomers: you will find examples of everything in this fully illustrated book, complete with detailed source references, location maps, and the underlying worldview rounded out by mythological figures and an index.

Here you will find around 100 examples of the rare, still-existing cult sites in Germany and their "typical" classification. Rock towers and sacrificial lakes, runestones and calendar installations, sacred trees and hillforts bring a long-faded image back to life before our eyes.
