This enlightening and spiritually uplifting book is designed to help those with a lively questioning spirit who want to create and develop their own spiritual pathway in today’s hectic world. Illustrated with original artwork, the book is simple to use, as each of the Celtic Seasons has meditations, blessings and rituals, divided into morning and evening practice. Each day of the week has its own devotions and there are also blessings for special occasions that can be incorporated into daily practice. Drawing on the influence of early Celtic times, the text combines traditional blessings with specially written prayers and meditations. The material springs from the spiritual current of Celtic tradition, both from the primal, animistic spirituality of early times and from the Celtic Christianity that was the civilizing influence of Europe.
Mirroring the ancient formulaic prayers to the elements found in the Celtic tradition, along with the wondrous invocations and declarations of the bards of the Scottish, Irish and Welsh traditions, Celtic Devotional provides a mystical doorway through which the modern person can re-invest their life with meaning within the twilight times of dusk and dawn. Celtic spirituality emphasizes the appreciation of nature and all forms of life–a popular and universally appealing philosophy that, along with other related pagan traditions, is having a renaissance. Beautifully illustrated and designed, this book will appeal to readers searching for ways to practice spirituality, offering blessings, prayers and devotions.
