This book is an extensive review of evidence of pre-Christian beliefs in Celtic culture. This is a work of scholarship, and cites from authoritative literature, including many now hard to obtain sources, and several short texts in the original Gaelic. Among the fascinating topics covered are the evil eye, geis (taboos), doppelgangers, beliefs relating to animals and shape-shifting, lustration, second-sight, and healing rituals. Of particular interest is the discussion of pagan elements in the Carmina Gadelica.

Henderson was born on 18 February 1866 in Heughden, Kiltarlity, Inverness-shire, in Scotland.
He then attended the University of Edinburgh, studying English literature, philosophy and Celtic. On his return in 1896, he studied at Jesus College, Oxford, and obtained a BLitt on Scottish Gaelic dialects.
He went to Raining"s School in Inverness, where he was taught by Alexander MacBain, a lexicographer of Scottish. After graduating in 1888, he became the examiner for the Master of Arts in Celtic. He then worked in South Uist in 1892, collecting oral Gaelic literature, before travelling to Vienna in 1893 and obtaining his doctorate.
He served the parish of Eddrachillis, Sutherland, until 1906 when he was appointed as a lecturer in Celtic at the University of Glasgow.
He had in the interim obtained a collection of Gaelic folksongs and tunes from the Isle of Skye, collected by Frances Tolmie, and these were published by the Folksong Society in 1911 upon his recommendation. He died on 26 June 1912.
