Phanes Press was founded in 1985 to publish quality books on the spiritual, philosophical, and cosmological traditions of the Western world. Since that time, we have published 45 books, including five volumes of Alexandria, a book-length journal of cosmology, philosophy, myth, and culture.

The year 2000 marks our fifteen-year anniversary, and we are working to bring out more interdisciplinary works, including books on creativity, psychology, literature, and the intersections between science, spirituality, and culture.

A second edition of the most comprehensive historical and practical guide to the sacred sites of Europe and the British Isles ever published.

This "book of considerable charm" (Publishers Weekly) is a wonderful companion for the armchair traveler and the actual visitor. From Stonehenge in England to the oracle of Apollo in Greece, from Pagan Italy to Druidic Ireland, it takes readers on a "steady, well-documented journey" (Library Journal) to places where nature meets supernature -- places of power whose tantalizing secrets remain undecipherable. Discussions are highly readable yet consistently thorough, focusing not only on the lore and legends, but also on archaeological discoveries, the nature of the old divinities, the relation of the sites to ancient culture and religion, and what these places are like today.
