Heathens, Pagans and Witches discussion

Melvyn Bragg and distinguished guests discuss The Upanishads - catch it while you can...

This one is about Fairies

The Druids

Merlin

Paganism in the Renaissance

The Delphic Oracle

The Unicorn

Akhenaten

The Greek Myths

All and Everyone, please feel free to add your favourites.

The Norse Gods

Witchcraft

Yeats and Mysticism

Zoroastrianism

Prophecy

Our Dreams: Ourselves

Lucy Powell explores the history of dreams and what we think they mean, a hundred years after Sigmund Freud's great work 'The Interpretation of Dreams' appeared in English.
