CELTIC WISDOM Gerald Benedict

by: Gerald Benedict




Spanning the earliest texts of antiquity to the vivid storytelling of the Celtic Christian period and beyond, Gerald Benedict has compiled an inspiring selection of poetry and prose. There is a clear purity in early Celtic bardic and folk literature which is unsurpassed, and this collection includes some of the best. From the philosophical offerings of the bards - that our world came into being when the name of God was spoken by God and that all beings must be in harmony with that primordial sound for good to flourish on the Earth - to the exquisitely-worded blessings and charms of the Celtic peoples, this book offers a unique spiritual insight that is as relevant today as in ancient times.
