The Celts believed in the transmigration of the soul, in the magical rhythm of life with a particular order of coming and going for each soul. As they celebrated every new stage of their lives with a ritual they also honoured the passing on of a soul - the death of the physical body: embedded in the natural order of things, women, the facilitators of birth and death, used to care for the dying, easing their transition from this world into the next.

Much more than simply an account of Celtic holy places and mythology, this book invites the reader into the deeper psychology of the Celtic world. A desire for wisdom is shown to drive this ancient culture and connect it to a deep appreciation of nature, a lifelong immersion in storytelling, the soulful expression of love, and the belief that human feeling is the way to enlightenment.
