Gorgeous Collector's Edition. Many medieval writers, especially
from France and Wales, wrote stories about the great British
leader, King Arthur. Legends, folklore and myths from this period
come together to paint a picture of who he was with some describing
him as a great warrior, defending Britain from its enemies, while
others suggest Arthur had magical qualities. Throughout this
mystery, King Arthur has become an iconic figure, known for his
court and knights and his chivalric adventures. This collection
offers a selection of myths, featuring Arthur's knights of the
round table, his love for Queen Guinevere and of course the
ultimate betrayal by his most trusted knight, Sir Lancelot. Flame
Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative
fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative
literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the
best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking
and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and
a Glossary of Terms.
A special twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic work of Celtic spirituality and mysticism by beloved poet and philosopher, John O'Donohue, with a new introduction by the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, an afterword by the late author’s brother, Pat O'Donohue, and insightful material from O'Donohue's circle of close friends.
In this revered classic, John O’Donohue excavates themes of friendship, belonging, solitude, creativity and the imagination, among many others. Widely recognized for bringing Celtic spirituality into modern dialogue, his unique insights from the ancient world speak with urgency for our need to rediscover the thresholds of the soul.
With lyrical wisdom and fluency, O'Donohue encourages pathways of discovery to come home to the natural rhythm in ourselves in sacred connection with one another and the landscapes we inhabit. This timeless collection nourishes the heart and elevates the spirit. It is "a book to read and reread forever.” (Irish Times)
Ritual Journeys with Great British Goddesses answers the question,
who is the great British goddess? It provides thirteen rituals for
development and growth, one for each of the thirteen different
great British goddesses who were worshipped by our British
ancestors. The goddesses are described in both historical and
mythological terms, with rituals, meditations, and poems to help
readers form a relationship with the goddess. The rituals are
linked to the modern months of the year and the Celtic fire
festivals, solstices, and equinoxes. The rituals can be followed
word for word or used as the starting point for personal creative
rituals. Suggestions for creating unique rituals and how to do so
with focus and in a safe environment are given. Enjoy a year of
discovery with the great British goddess and explore the Celtic
heritage of the British Isles. Susie Fox writes poetry, songs, and
music in the British folk tradition; teaches music, Reiki, and
Seichem; and is involved in two local pagan groups. She follows a
Celtic-British path of paganism, focusing on healing.
