“Sacred Waters: A Cross-Cultural Compendium of Hallowed Springs and Holy Wells” edited by Celeste Ray

Magick Matters

"Describing sacred waters and their associated traditions in over thirty countries and across multiple time periods, this book identifies patterns in panhuman hydrolatry. Supplying life’s most basic daily need, freshwater sources were likely the earliest sacred sites, and the first protected and contested resource.
