Origin myths are of tremendous psychological importance; in many respects they inform our attitude to the world, to life and to the future. That is why Darwinism, which may be regarded as the first materialist creation-myth, was of such fundamental importance. It would be no exaggeration to say that in many respects the twentieth century was a creation of Charles Darwin. Certainly the decline and even death of Christianity in Europe owes very much to his epoch-making Origin of Species. more>>>

I would be interested in your book on Charlemagne but would first like to know your academic credentials and why the book was published by NER rather than an academic publisher.
I can find no academic reference to you on the web.
Also the evidence to wide scale human sacrifice by ‘Celts’ is weak. Some outside commentators said the Druids did so, others described them as a philosopher class with Pythagorean beliefs in reincarnation. The view depending on the commentator’s agenda.
Hard evidence for wide scale human sacrifice is lacking. E.g.Forensic examination of the Lindow man suggests he may well have met an accidental or natural death. In truth there is not enough evidence either way for us to know about pre- historic religious practice.
Ok, found some more info on you. You ate a believer in the ‘phantom time’ hypothesis.
Enough said.
"Cotemporary tribal societies display …"
That sentence has a spelling mistake in the word contemporary.
