THE WISDOM OF THE CELTS

Proud, spiritual, artistic, scholarly-the ancient Celts were people ahead of their time, and the Celtic world, which stretched from the British Isles to Gallatia, was one of the most highly advanced in history. The Celts were the first people in Northern Europe to use and work with iron, and their art remains glorious. Theirs was a truly dematic and progressive society in which scholarship was held in the highest regard, sexuality was free and open, and women were fierce warriors.

This absorbing, comprehensive guide brings to life one of history's most progressive, vibrant societies and explores the Celts' far-reaching impact on Western culture. Using a variety of authentic sources-ancient Celtic texts, folklore, legends, and literature from Ireland, Scotland, France, and Wales- The Wisdom of the Celts details the Celtic world from its expansion and decline to its modern revival, revealing a wealth of wisdom on all areas of life, including war, the Otherworld, King Arthur, nature, sexuality, freedom, spirituality, animals, the role of women, family, and beauty. A glorious and learned look at a remarkable civilization, this is a fascinating introduction to a people whose wisdom is more relevant today than ever.
