From the Publisher
The Celtic tradition is a source of inspiration to many of us seeking to discover our ancestral spiritual heritage. Yet so many primary Celtic texts, rich in ancient wisdom, have been hidden away from us for generations. Now the Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom offers a unique opportunity for all interested in the way of the Celtic tradition to draw upon a deep, hitherto unavailable, well of ancestral knowledge.

This unique reference book contains many new translations of seminal Celtic texts, including stories, poems and visionary writings, some dating as far back as the seventh century. It also includes a generous selection of myths and commentaries, edited and augmented by Caitlín and John Matthews’ own notes, covering subjects such as:

· Shamanic memory
· Druidic divination and prophecy
· Shapeshifting
· Soul-loss and restoration
· Magic and healing

A superb sourcebook, The Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom provides nourishment and inspiration for those who still wish to honour the Celtic tradition and find its practical applications for today.
