The Tribe Of Witches: The Religion of the

"Discussions concerning pre-Christian religion in Western Europe have, for many years, been considered problematic due to a lack of texts, material culture, and the theoretical framework into which place-name studies have been constructed. This study examines the relationship between two groups of peoples, or tribes, the Iron Age Dobunni and the early medieval people know as Hwicce, whose territories in the Severn Valley and Cotswolds overlapped."--BOOK JACKET.
