The Celtic Tradition

The legendary world of the Celts continues to influence our art, music and poetry, and Celtic beliefs and myths are growing in popularity as more and more people delve into the roots of Britain and Ireland's rich and ancient culture. This book offers insights into the roots of Celtic Christianity, the pattern of the Celtic year, the Druids' role as seers and sayers and healers, the power of the Celtic poet, and gods, kings and heroes. The text is complemented by photographs of Celtic sites and landscapes, and drawings and paintings of Celtic characters, myths and legends.
