The Celts were not only great warriors, but also a creative, peaceful and mystical people. Today we especially appreciate their imaginative myth-making, their brilliant design, and their profound sense of wonder and magic; three elements that combine in this beautiful and inspiring book. Celtic Inspirations captures the spirit of the Druids and Bards in a rich collection of poetry, spiritual insights, and meditative exercises that concentrate on the universal truths of Celtic wisdom; as meaningful and helpful today as they were in the Dark Ages. Discover how to heal using plants, how to cast spells, and how to travel safely in the Otherworld. Learn the secrets of King Arthur’s knights and the truth about the Holy Grail. By absorbing Celtic wisdom at the deepest level of our minds, we furnish our imaginations with beautiful and profound insights. This book is the magic key. This is a 160-page soft-cover book.

Celtic Myths and Legends
by T.W. Rolleston

This splendidly illustrated study by the distinguished Celticist T.W. Rolleston masterfully retells the great Celtic myths and illuminates the world that spawned them. Focusing principally on Irish myths, the book first takes up the history and religion of the Celts, the myths of the Irish invasion and early Milesian kings. What follows is the pure enchantment as you enter the timeless world of heroic tales centered around the Ulster king Conor mac Ness and the Red Branch Order of chivalry (Ultonian cycle). These are followed by the tales of the Ossianic cycle, which centered on the figure of Finn mac Cumhal, whose son Oisin (or Ossian) was a poet and warrior, and the traditional author of most of the tales. Next comes a summary of the Voyage of Maeldun, a brilliant and curious piece of invention that exemplifies the genre of "wonder-voyage"; adventures purely in the region of romance, out of early space and time. Finally, the author recounts a selection of myths and tales of the Cymry (Welsh). In these pages, readers will delight in the favorite and familiar tales of Cuchulain, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, the Grail, Deirdre and many more figures that haunt the shadowy, twilight world of Celtic legend. The magic of that world is further brought to life in more than 50 imaginative full-page illustrations by Stephen Reid, Arthur G. Bell and the famed illustrator J.C. Leyendecker. Reprinted here in its first paperback edition, Celtic Myths and Legends also includes several helpful genological tables: Gods of the House of Don, Gods of the House of Llyr, and Arthur and His Kin, as well as a useful glossary.

Celtic Wisdom – The Poetry & Prose of a Mystic Tradition

This carefully researched anthology of the timeless wisdom found in Celtic writings and traditions will bring new life to forgotten beliefs and foster a fresh understanding of modern Christianity. It is a special feature of Celtic Christianity that some of the basic principles, and many of the practices of the old nature religion, were assimilated and allowed to continue unabated, finding expression in a unique form of Christianity that has since sadly disappeared. The texts presented here are taken from a wide spectrum of sources – from pre-Christian material transmitted by oral folk traditions and recorded later, through the wisdom and the philosophies of the latter period. This beautifully presented history is sure to inform and fascinate. This is a beautiful 284-page hardcover book.
