About this product
Product Information
Revealed in accessible and stylish prose, this book uncovers the mystical secrets of the ancient Celtic world - the world discovered by St Patrick in the 5th century AD. When St Patrick came to Ireland in the 5th century AD, he encountered the Celtic people and a flourishing spiritual tradition that had already existed for thousands of years. He also discovered that where the Christians worshipped one God, the Celts had many and found divinity all around them- in the rivers, hills, sea and sky. The ancient Celtic reverence for the spirit in all things survives today - a vibrant legacy of mystical wisdom that is unique in the Western world. Now, in this exquisite book, Irish poet and schollar John O'Donohue shares with us the secrets of this ancient world. Using authentic Irish prayers and blessings, he reveals the treasures that lie hidden within your own soul and the 'secret divinity' in your relationships. As he traces the cycles of life and nature, he draws from the holy waters of Ireland's spiritual heritage to lead you to a place where your heart can be healed and nourished. It is a place wher you will disocer your own anam cara, your true 'soul friend'.Product Identifiers

A fairy of words which dance on your shoulder all day
Being a reader who opens the book at any page, anytime, looking for either encouragement for my day, help with daily issues, or inspiration and joy from the pen of another, I find this is truly a "one off" book. It is not heavy with opinion, it simply offers, but never challenges, an alternative or perhaps just different way of contemplation. The various poetry, honestly acknowledged for their author, lifts me to a world of beautiful words which charm my thoughts away from the mostly harshness of a world overtaken by a pandemic, and the resultant distorted reporting of chaotic politics. Such a gem, a source of the pure beauty of how words can bring forth the loving heart of creation, in both an accessible and embracing gift. A small easy to carry little parcel, perfect to leave with a friend, simple to replace, but not one to misplace.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
