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.

In a world faced with dwindling natural resources and the very real threat of global warming, this is an invitaton to turn to the Celtic culture for its wisdom and insight into a more natural way of living.
