I was saddened by the loss of our white stag in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, in 2007 and I thought I would never have the opportunity to see and photograph one of these magnificent beasts in our forest again.
However, this was until Tuesday, 22 September, 2009, when I found and photographed a young pure white buck, probably around four years old which could well be the offspring of our
It looks like the fabled treasure from a fairy tale. But this glittering array is just part of a vast hoard of AngloSaxon gold and silver found in a field by a man with a metal detector.
Experts say the haul of about 1,500 items is worth a seven-figure sum and is the largest cache of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found. It was discovered by unemployed Terry Herbert, 55, just below the surface of a
Forget the mayoral, comptroller and public advocate races. The best political show in town is taking place in Bayside, Queens where leaders are wrestling with the question of whether a strong Republican city council nominee should be forced from his race — just because he’s a card-carrying pagan.

Pat McCloud, who represents a ward in Forest Heath district in Suffolk, was initially found guilty of accusing Cllr Lisa Chambers, 39, of witchcraft by the councils standards committee.

His achievements as a renaissance trailblazer rank alongside those of the ages greatest thinkers like Botticelli and da Vinci.
Yet Welshman John Dee has been largely wiped from the history books because of his later interest in the occult.
Now a group of academics are determined to see Dee get the recognition that has been denied him for centuries.
They say Dee, born in 1527, was the gre
I am now the guardian of a Vodou doll that has wreaked havoc at my university. I first learned of him last week, when a colleague in the art history department sent me a mysterious message. Could she bring him by so I could take a look at him? She did not disclose where he came from or how he ended up over at art history instead of my own department, religious studies.
