Celtic Myth And Religion by Sharon Paice MacLeod
A Study of Traditional Belief, with Newly Translated Prayers, Poems and Songs
A concise survey of traditional Celtic belief, this study draws on archaeology, linguistics, and medieval literature to explore cosmology, sacred landscapes, deities, the Otherworld, and seasonal festivals. It examines the roles of druids, poets, and heroes, compares regional traditions across Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany, and highlights motifs such as sovereignty, shape-shifting, and divine-human interaction. Interweaving scholarship with newly translated prayers, poems, and songs, it offers both cultural context and an evocative sense of living practice.
