Thomas Charles Lethbridge (1901-1971) was a well-known British author, archaeologist and psychic researcher, who was committed to investigating occult subjects, such as dowsing, ghosts, witchcraft, etc in a scientific manner. In "Gogmagog" Lethbridge looks at figures cut into the landscape in Britain and tries to discover the origin and meaning of these. He also maintains the existence of a figure of a "Giant" now lost, that was near Cambridge. Using archaeological, historical and biblical information as well as folklore he brings together evidence of a "Sun and Moon" worship cult that not only existed in Britain but also in other countries extending into India. Lethbridge has always maintained a high reputation among those interested in fresh ideas and insights.
