The Haunted Landscape: Magic, Fairies and Old Gods

**The Haunted Landscape**, our annual folklore all-dayer, delves into the realms of magic fairies and old gods. We will meet fairies new and old with **Francis Young** and **Jo Hickey-Hall**, discover witch trials with **Marion Gibson**, walk Britain's haunted lands with **Jeremy Harte** and much more.

**PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS:**

*The Return of the Horned God*

**Ronald Hutton**

**Prof Ronald Hutton** examines the reason why the Horned God has become the main form of Pagan male deity in the modern West, representing the regenerative powers of nature.

*Witchland: A Tale of Witch Hunting and War in Seventeenth-Century Britain*

**Marion Gibson**

If the witchfinders came to your town, who would you have believed – and what would you have done? **Marion Gibson** explores how ordinary people with extraordinary stories, largely forgotten by history, were caught up in suspicion and moral panic.

*Stone Lands: A Journey of Darkness and Light Through Britain’s Ancient Places*

**Fiona Robertson**

All over Britain prehistoric stones, dolmens, barrows and hill forts have survived into the modern age, places of legend, folklore and mystery that enchant the landscape. **Fiona Robertson** explores how these ancient sites can offer us a sense of grounding and solace several millennia after they were built.

*& much more. Full programme can be found on the Conway Hall website.*
