Taking you on a remarkable journey, starting with pre-Celtic tradition, which found its origins in Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, and the fabled Hyperborea, CELTIC TRADITIONS explains that the Celts did not so much worship the Goddess, but instead entered into a divine relationship with her and all of her worldly creatures. They had a deep spiritual connection to the land, which they considered to be a living Goddess called "The Great Goddess." This intriguing book also suggests many powerful ways to make a positive difference in the world today by using the wisdom of the ancient Celts. So when you next hear the call of the Goddess, you will know exactly how to answer her. CELTIC TRADITIONS provides hands-on ways for making a positive difference in the world today, and for thousands of years to come.
