The ancient Celts left a rich legacy of artifacts, illuminated manuscripts, standing stones, and burial sites. This illustrated collection, a window into a long-ago world of dramatic myths, art, and mystical symbolism, traces the course of life from birth through death and into the afterlife. Certain to appeal to owners of the popular Celtic Symbols stamp kit, The Celtic Book of Living and Dying contains more than 40 Celtic-style full-colour artworks and over 40 landscape photos. This is not a reproduction of primary source material but an interpretation by an acknowledged authority.
A collection of the poems, proverbs, and aphorisms of the Celtic people that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. The Book of Celtic Wisdom shares the proverbs and blessings that bring the wisdom of the ancient Celts to life. Their thoughts on charity ("Stretch out your hand in giving, and you will never stretch it out in need"), aging ("The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune"), and work ("The lazy young man and the poor old man; two sides of the same coin") are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. A thoughtful and reflective compilation, this book is bound to inspire, enlighten, and entertain readers every-where.
Long before the terms ‘mindfulness’ and ‘well-being’ were coined, the Celtic tradition offered pathways to peace of mind and calm. For centuries it has created hope, unity and a community – a sanctuary of rest, renewal and reassurance. In these troubled times, the importance of connection, and a sanctuary, is stronger than ever. Drawing on the wisdom, stories, poetry, prayers and humour that are at the heart of the Celtic tradition, Inspiration for All Seasons reminds us of where we come from and brings comfort when it is badly needed. With contributions from individuals such as Peter McVerry and Mark Patrick Hederman, and a tribute to the late, great John O’Donohue, this book shines a light in the darkness.
