Celtic Traditions - Paperback

by Sirona Knight (Author), Jim Knight (Author)

Across the breadth of America today there is renewed fascination with all things Celtic--lore, traditions, beliefs, and customs. More than 40 percent of North Americans are of Celtic ancestry, and they often wish to reaffirm their ancestral roots and bring Celtic myth, legend, and modern practices to life. For others the Celtic traditions embody myth, mystery, and magic. Celtic Traditions satisfies the desires of all: it discusses everything from the ancient Druids and faery traditions, right up to the beliefs and practices of today's neo-Pagans.

Tales of Celtic goddesses and gods, and the stories of their descendants, thrive in the pages of this fascinating book. Focusing upon Celtic roots, goddesses, gods, and the Druids, as well as the Underworld of the faeries, and modern Celtic Wicca, Celtic Traditions provides hands-on ways for making a positive difference in the world today, and for thousands of years to come.
