Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following content is a compilation of sayings from both the Irish and the Scottish, which are often no longer heard in descendant families outside of the native lands, but should be. It applies to anyone, but that closeness bears down on those of Celtic descent when Gaelic is spoken, and rings echoes of our dearly departed parents and grandparents, who many of us long to hear argue, demand and insist that we do it the "correct way" in that Scots-Irish tone and fashion. Their voices are now silent, but their memories live on for their descendants to preserve through the traditions, recollections, and customs of both Tara and the Western Highlands.

Download or read book Irish Celtic Blessings written by Shane Glackin and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irish Celtic Blessings is a book of ancient Irish Blessings many in the form of prayer or poetry written in both Irish ( Gaelic) and English. The book is beautifully illustrated featuring the original Celtic paintings of artist John Quigley and was researched and written by Shane and Catherine Glackin. Irish Blessings are often of anonymous origin without a known reference to the original source, handed down like Irish folklore was from generation to generation - as part of an oral storytelling tradition remembered word for word. It was believed that blessed were those who neither added or subtracted to these sacred stories . Blessings were often sent as prayers or a talisman to watch over and protect those who emigrated from Ireland possibly never to return. The Blessings illuminate and reflect on all stages of life's journey from birth to death, from best wishes for the future of a newly wedded couple, the birth of a newborn and numerous other ceremonial occasions and events. This book of ancient Celtic prayers and blessings portrays the beauty and majesty of the words and wisdom of the Irish Celtic people.
