Farrar, Janet & Stewart and Bone, Gavin. THE COMPLETE DICTIONARY OF EUROPEAN GODS AND GODDESSES.
UK: Capall Bann Publishing, 2000. 1861631227 PAPER
This dictionary is devoted to increasing mutual understanding and respect between the many religions of today's world, as well as the many ancient religions which formed the roots from which today's cultures have grown. This is the most complete dictionary of its kind - a highly useful sourcebook for both the academic and the spiritually interested. Many legendary heroes and heroines - and some historical ones, such as Arthur of Britain, who have become crystallization points for legend - represent archetypal concepts in the same way as God- and Goddess-forms do, and thus in practice belong in the same category. Our definition of Gods and Goddesses has therefore been elastic to present the most relevant information and give the reader an indication on where to find more by giving references in the script. The book includes appendices listing deity-names under Aspects: agricultural, war, love etc. together with a section on the cultures mentioned and finally, one showing the comparisons to the Classical Roman Gods and Goddesses used to define the days of the week.

Ferguson, Rupert. THE LAY OF THE LAST MINSTREL: Sir Walter Scott and the Border Minstrel Tradition.
UK: Capall Bann Publishing, 2001. 1861631189 PAPER
Examines Sir Walter Scott¹s lifelong obsession for the ballads of his native Scottish Borderlands. The book looks not only at Scott¹s editing and publication of his Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border -- a valuable source for musicians and folklorists alike, but also his own composition of songs and ballads. The ballads themselves are examined in proper historical perspective, and their origins traced back in some cases to the same ancient bardic sources from whence medieval minstrels derived their own inspiration. In addition to collecting the ballads themselves, Scott went to considerable effort to investigate much of the folklore surrounding them; as well as researching the legendary transitions of the areas where the ballads were originally composed. This shows that Scott was as much concerned with preserving the essence of the oral culture of which these ballads were a part, as he was with preserving the ballads themselves, portraying him as the true successor to the minstrel tradition, which can be traced back to the magician Merlin and the Dark Age poets of the Arthurian period. Scott was the last of the true bards.
