Celtic Myth & Magick
First published 1995 · 464 pages
A pragmatic and mystical guide that breathes adaptable, modern life into ancient Celtic traditions.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like sitting with a pragmatic mentor who understands that the spirit of ancient traditions matters more than rigid historical accuracy. The steady, instructive pace guides you through the mists of Celtic mythology and the pantheon of its gods, not as a dry academic text, but as a living, breathing spiritual practice. The mood is both esoteric and deeply grounded, emphasizing that the power of magic lies in intention rather than the exact replication of once upon a time tools or dances. With its earnest and adaptable tone, it delights modern practitioners and spiritual seekers who want to weave the resonance of Celtic myth into their own personal, contemporary magical workings.
