Faithfully presenting the lives and legacies of twenty-eight Celtic saints of the sixth to ninth centuries in this newly revised and expanded book, Sellner reveals their wisdom in a way that can be understood and appreciated by contemporary readers. With background material on the Celtic Church, the characteristics of its spirituality, the symbolism in the stories, and the roles of soul friends, readers will reap a rich harvest for their own spiritual growth. The stories recounted range from the well-known saints, like Patrick, Brendan, Columcille, and Brigit, to those less likely to be familiar--Monesan, Ita, Samthann, and Declan. Vivid portrait-illustrations by Susan McLean-Keeney add to the prayerful beauty of the book. Readers will appreciate both the abiding truths the stories contain as well as enjoy these good stories, well told. In Europe, the author is considered a pioneer in writings on Celtic spirituality and soul-friendship, and in the United States, "one of their primary interpreters."

In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar Philip Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once more. Though the Celtic civilization has long disappeared, lingering traces of their spirituality haunt Ireland and the surrounding land. Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages, ancient stone carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids have sparked the imagination of generations of modern seekers. Translated from their original languages—Gaulish, Latin, Irish, and Welsh—the passages and stories in Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of the Celts' vibrant and varied religion from both the pre-Christian and early Christian period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to stories of the ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten heroes, Freeman has unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work. The translation is accessible to the modern reader, but maintains the beauty and vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality includes material that has never been translated before, offering a new glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.

The Celtic approach to life is holistic, with little distinction made between the sacred and the secular, or between the physical world and the spiritual one. This spiritual awareness grew from the Celtic myths and legends: warriors that were godlike, druids that could walk between worlds, and magical lands that lay on the boundaries of earthly kingdoms. Celtic mysticism is an approach to life, and this book brings the Celtic world into a modern context. The important myths and legends are told and the thinking behind the Celts' feeling for their world is examined and explained. There are exercises to increase your awareness of the power of nature and its holistic character, and how to use meditation and mind journeying to meet Celtic archetypes. Open yourself up to the inspiration of history and the rich culture that is the Celtic heritage, and enter a world that has enriched and inspired us for centuries.
