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.
