The Quest for the Nine Maidens
King Arthur went to Avalon with Morgan and her eight sisters. In this book McHardy traces similar groups of nine maidens throughout the ancient Celtic and Germanic worlds and far beyond. In Pictland, Wales, Ireland, Scandinavia, Gaul and Iberia the nine Maidens were known in mythology and as practising priestesses. As far away as Kenya the Kikuyu people claim descent from nine sisters, while a cave painting in Catalonia shows nine dancing maidens from almost 15,000 years ago. Weather-workers, shape-shifters, diviners and healers - the Nine Maidens are linked to the Old Religion over much of our planet.

Enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because McHardy found his maidens in the West (Europe, et al) and the Siberian shamans have their nine maidens too; I suppose his plate was full and he wanted to get his book into print but tying the two together would have made a better book-maybe he can write a sequel. There, I just dumped a load of work in his lap-sorry Stuart.
