Damh's brand new studio CD - The first album of Damh the Bard songs since The Cauldron Born this is an eagerly awaited album.

The album finishes with an 8 minute epic retelling of the story of Ceridwen and Taliesin. This album is set to become another classic.

How did the one small island of Britain, and the country of England in particular, become so steeped in magical practices across the centuries, and why has it given birth to the finest magical stories ever written?

The Book of English Magic, authored by Philip Carr-Gomm & Druid grade member Sir Richard Heygate, surveys England’s magical past from the moment the first humans inhabited her shores to our present-day fascination with all things magical. Historical explorations, biographies of leading figures, guides to magical fiction and practical exercises are combined with interviews with modern-day magicians which reveal the extent to which magic is alive and well in England in the 21st century.

In this journey through time, a world that is complex and fascinating reveals itself . . .
