Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shrouded in mystery after centuries of suppression, the magical world of the Ancient Celts still calls to us across the misty veil of time. Behind the scant records that erased their history lie whispers of an enchanted spirituality grounded in nature and magic, otherworldly tales of gods and giants, and lost legends of powerful druids, warrior kings and gifted shamans. In Druids and Daggers, the forgotten myths, rituals and meaning of Celtic lore spring back to life. We excavate archaeology, artefacts and Roman accounts to reconstruct origins of their pantheon of gods, cosmological beliefs, druidic practices and bardic arts against the unfolding drama of their rise and fall across Europe. Alongside overview of their culture, we immerse in the exhilarating myths of heroic quests to mystical realms, recount legends of proud warring tribes whose battle fury terrified invaders, and trace pagan fire festivals still echoed in seasonal celebrations today. Druids and Daggers peels away the veil shrouding these little-understood Iron Age traditions that left vibrant imprints across Gaelic languages and medieval literature. We delve past stereotypes into sophisticated philosophical understanding of their symbolic myths and spiritual worldview centered around intimate communion with elemental spirits and an Otherworld dimension. This mystical lens holds essential insights to re-enchant modern lives overly disconnected from nature and its ensouled wisdom. Reawakening to their ancient earth-honoring cosmovision guarded by mystical druids offers enduring gifts to us now - still glinting like gold across the waters of time if we have eyes to see and courage to remember!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A clear, accessible, and forthright exploration of Celtic tradition as the foundation of a personal path of mystical transformation.” —John Michael Greer, former Grand Archdruid, Ancient Order of Druids in America, and author of The Druidry Handbook The Druids were the mystics, philosophers, and magicians of the ancient Celtic world. Their spirituality was borne from their near-worship of poetry and music, their warrior prowess, and the world of nature. The Mysteries of Druidry reveals this mystical romanticism as it was in ancient times, and shows various ways to bring it to life today. It includes: A professionally researched survey of Druidic history, tradition, and customs Detailed descriptions of the mysteries of Celtic spirituality, including the Sacred Truth, the Great Marriage, the Hero’s Journey, and the Otherworld Practical guidance for meditation and ceremony, for individuals and for groups The Celtic story of the creation of the world, presented together with a plan for re-enacting the story in ritual “An exemplary look at one man’s approach to Druidism, with excellent food for thought and suggestions for group ritual and personal practice . . . His personal stories of working with and discovering the spirits of the land are inspiring and useful guides to the readers.” —Erynn Laurie, author of A Circle of Stones, cofounder of the Inis Glas Hedge School “With gentle clarity, [Myers] writes not only of myth, folklore, and Celtic history, but also of and for our Celtic present. With his words, he inspires, calling the reader to breathe in the songs of the ancestors, and so to sing those songs with both a celebratory pride and a profound relevance for today.” —Emma Restall Orr, Joint Chief of the British Druid Order; author of Kissing the Hag

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Celtic Mythology and Religion: With Chapters Upon Druid Circles and Celtic Burial The following work, all save from page 105 to the end, appeared in the Celtic Magazine in 1883-4, and is here reprinted from the Magazine type. Hence it is that it is reproduced "with all its imperfections on its head," and the critic must be asked, before condemning details at least, to note the list of corrections appended to this preface. The intention of this series of papers was to popularise the subject of Mythology, and to apply its principles to the elucidation of Celtic beliefs, tales, and traditions. I wished to place clearly before my Gaelic brethren the exact position which the religious beliefs of the Celts held in the European kinship, to clear up the misty subject of "Druidism," and to reconstruct, from the shattered materials to hand, the Pantheon of their Gaelic ancestors. This I undertook, knowing that in the last part of my object - the rehabilitation of the Gaelic Olympus - my results must only be tentative, for the material for reconstruction is difficult to deal with, and much of it is in MSS. unedited. Since these papers began to appear in print, events have travelled with more than usual rapidity both in the field of general and of Celtic Mythology. It was last year that Mr Andrew Lang delivered his lively attack against the "orthodox" school of mythologists, and it was also last year that M.D' Arbois de Jubainville's important works on Celtic Literature and Mythology appeared. Mr Lang's attack has certainly driven the older school from several of their positions, but he has by no means overthrown either the importance of language in the development of myth, or the fact that the sun, the sky, the powers of wind and storm, and the change of day and night were the most prominent factors in the creation of the deities and powers of the ancient mythologies.
