Celtic Spirituality | Free Book
In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar
Philip Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once
more.
Though the Celtic civilization has long disappeared,
lingering traces of their spirituality haunt Ireland and the
surrounding land. Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages,
ancient stone carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids
have sparked the imagination of generations of modern seekers.
Translated from their original languages—Gaulish, Latin,
Irish, and Welsh—the passages and stories in
Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of the Celts' vibrant
and varied religion from both the pre-Christian and early Christian
period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to stories of the
ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten heroes, Freeman has
unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work. The translation is
accessible to the modern reader, but maintains the beauty and
vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality includes
material that has never been translated before, offering a new
glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.
