An excellent introduction to Celtic traditions and mythology for the beginner and a useful reference book for the more advanced reader. Somewhat scholarly with no airy-fairy new-age fluff. This book includes summaries of the majority of the myths and legends and places them in context. This is not a children's story book or a novelization of the myths, but rather a discussion of celts in general and their myths/legends in particular. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
northwestern fringes of Europe - from Britain and the Isle of Man to Gaul and Brittany. Drawing on recent historical and archaeological research, as well as literary and oral sources, the guide looks at the gods and goddesses of Celtic myth; at the nature of Celtic religion, with its rituals of sun and moon worship; and at the druids who served society as judges, diviners and philosophers. It also examines the many Celtic deities who were linked with animals and such natural phenomena as rivers and caves, or who later became associated with local Christian saints. And it explores in detail the rich variety of Celtic myths: from early legends of King Arthur to the stories of the Welsh Mabinogi, and from tales of heroes including C�uchulainn, Fionn mac Cumhaill and the warrior queen Medb to tales of shadowy otherworlds - the homes of spirits and fairies.
