A book that captures the Celtic Spirit before and after the coming of Christianity - Amongst its pages you will find a collection and editing of many of the early writings of the Celtic peoples with essays and commentary on them. This book brings the Celtic age to life and captures the essence of what it meant to be Celtic before and at the dawning of the Christian age. The influnces of Celtic Christianity are traced and followed so that an understanding of what was before and what came after can be fully understood. From Stonehenge to Glastonbury we follow the rise of the beauty that was Christianity flowering in our green and precious land, the emerald isle that was and is Britain. We will examine the heresy that was Pelagianism and the influence of Columba, Cuthbert and Dunstan. We will asses the differeing claims of those who are thought to have first brought Christianity to these Islands. We will walk with Druids down sacred ailes and along lei lines. We will stride across the sacred landscape to stone circles, magalithic rings, monoliths and sacred groves. We will meet Caradoc and Arthur, Merlin and the threes apects of Morrigon. We will find sacred place that few go to and learn the reason for their creation and continued existance. We will, in the end, seek to cure the wounded land the is England and attempt to heal this island nation that we might once more make it the land worthy of our ancestors and a legacy for our children.
