Book excerpt: Celtic Shadow is the second volume of this continuing story:In the year 382 CE, the Romans are abandoning their hold on Britain. They leave behind disaffected soldiers, angry Celts, and competing religions. Darcy Morgan, orphaned at birth, is adopted into a new tribe, then kidnapped by raiding slavers at age nine. Now, after two years in servitude, she just wants to go home. In the strange world of Britain in the 4th century CE, competing religions, rival cultures, barbarian invasions, the ambitious plans of a Roman general, and warring armies stand in her way. They may not survive the encounter.Based in actual history, this story explores a relatively unknown period and culture. Britain, in the late 4th century CE, had a lot going on. The Romans, suffering many troubles in their empire, were pulling out and leaving behind a power vacuum that many would try to fill. Three religions vie with one another: the newly introduced official Christian religion of Rome; the recently outlawed, but still popular, ancient polytheistic religion of Rome; and the druidism of the Celts, nearly destroyed 300 years earlier by Julius Caesar and others, now with a chance for renewal. Three cultures compete for control of the land. The Romans are ordered to return to Gaul, but their general, Magnus Maximus, refuses and instead tries to build his own empire in Britain; Celtic tribes who see the Roman retreat as their chance to establish their own unified kingdom; and barbarian invaders who look to take the rich lands of Britain for their own.And, finally, there is Darcy Morgan, a nine-year-old orphan girl of mysterious origins who is adopted into a tribe of druidic Celts, but is then kidnapped by raiders and taken to a distant land. She spends years in slavery, then makes a harrowing escape. Her attempt to find her way home brings her to new and strange places, people, and religions. Along the way, she collects good friends and vicious enemies, and discovers the truth about her own past. No one, not religions, not generals, not cultures, not even Britain itself, will survive unchanged their contact with this remarkable young girl.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ireland of A.D. 666, Sister Fidelma is sent by her brother, Colgu of Cashel, the king of Muman, to the remote valley of Gleann Geis, whose inhabitants still adhere to the ancient Druidic ways. Her mission is to negotiate with the chieftain Laisre for permission to build a Christian church and school in his territory. Fidelma's task won't be an easy one, though, as Laisre's clan is known for its hostility to the new religion and fierce adherence to the old. Approaching the valley, Fidelma and her companion, Brother Eadulf, come upon a particularly grisly scene--the slain bodies of thirty-three young men, placed in a sunwise circle and bearing the marks of the ancient threefold death of pagan times. As an emissary of her brother the king, as well as her position as a dalaigh--an advocate of the Brehon courts--it is Fidelma's responsibility to uncover the truth behind the gruesome murders. Within the forbidden valley, Fidelma embarks upon an inquiry that not only places her in the gravest personal danger but upon which rests the continuing peace of her brother's kingdom.

Download or read book Celtic Spirituality written by Philip Freeman and published by St. Martin's Essentials. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar Philip Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once more. Though the Celtic civilization has long disappeared, lingering traces of their spirituality haunt Ireland and the surrounding land. Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages, ancient stone carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids have sparked the imagination of generations of modern seekers. Translated from their original languages—Gaulish, Latin, Irish, and Welsh—the passages and stories in Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of the Celts' vibrant and varied religion from both the pre-Christian and early Christian period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to stories of the ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten heroes, Freeman has unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work. The translation is accessible to the modern reader, but maintains the beauty and vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality includes material that has never been translated before, offering a new glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.

Book excerpt: A young man plagued by the ability to see ghosts races to save the mythological land of Tara from a terrible fate in Erika Lewis's stunning debut, Game of Shadows. Thousands of years ago in Ireland, an ancient race fought a world-changing battle—and lost. Their land overrun, the Celtic gods and goddesses fled, while the mythical races and magical druids sailed to an uncharted continent, cloaked so mankind could never find it. This new homeland was named Tara. In modern day Los Angeles, Ethan Makkai struggles with an overprotective mother who never lets him out of her sight, and a terrifying secret: he can see ghosts. Desperate for a taste of freedom, he leaves his apartment by himself for the first time—only to find his life changed forever. After being attacked by dive-bombing birds, he races home to find the place trashed and his mother gone. With the help of a captain from Tara who has been secretly watching the Makkais for a long time, Ethan sets out to save his mother; a journey that leads him to the hidden lands, and straight into the arms of a vicious sorcerer who will stop at nothing until he controls Tara.With new-found allies including Christian, the cousin he never knew he had, and Lily, the sword-slinging healer who’d rather fight than mend bones, Ethan travels an arduous road—dodging imprisonment, battling beasts he thought only existed in nightmares, and accepting help from the beings he’s always sought to avoid: ghosts. This L.A. teen must garner strength from his gift and embrace his destiny if he’s going to save his mother, the fearless girl he’s fallen for, and all the people of Tara.

Download or read book Celtic Roots written by Thomas Airlie Brown and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Airlie Brown plunges the reader directly into the action and integrally weaves them into the book so tightly, it will not be easy for them to lay it down. The book is historical fiction leading up to a fairy tale, although it is so well leavened with helpings of historical and archeological facts, that all may end up to be factual after all. What he calls the Celtic Domain is traced from its first appearance in the Middle Europe, follows the migration trail across Western Europe into Britain and Ireland, then deals with the apparently unstoppable spread of the Roman Empire into Celtic territory and covers the major battles that resulted. Arthur and Camelot fill the final section with a new interpretation that intrigues as it develops, and ends with an Epilogue that highlights the reasons why the Celts, known-world conquerors before the Romans, could not compete with the political and military sophistication of the Roman Empire. The Appendix, with its numbered sections referred to in the text, contains tidbits of little-known information and history that add to the enjoyment of the read.
