Celtic Wisdom

by Andy Baggott

This volume provides an accessible introduction to an increasingly popular subject. It looks at many different areas of Celtic spirituality and explains how the reader can use and integrate that wisdom to gain in wisdom themselves. Combining established Celtic legends and writings with practical experience, the author shares his knowledge in a practical and transformatory way. Chapters cover history, the wisdom of trees and animals, the wisdom of stones, numbers, ritual and ceremony, Celtic wise men and women, and Celtic wisdom for the new millennium.

About the author

I am a writer, life guide and practicing shaman of the Celtic and pre-Celtic tradition and have also spent much of the past thirteen years working as a complementary medical practitioner treating patients with a wide variety of ailments. I have been practicing Tai Chi and Chi Kung for fifteen years and currently teach Yang Family Long Form and various Chi Kung forms running weekly classes, individual sessions and workshops. I endeavour to live in harmony with nature so eat a largely macrobiotic-style diet of organic grains and locally grown vegetables. Spiritually I follow a Celtic shamanic path whilst embracing many of the ideas of various traditions including Taoism, Buddhism, Native American spirituality and Christianity.

Reviews

[Rowan Silvermist]

This is by far my favourite book, ever.
I read it when it was first published back in 1999 and I have lost track of how many times I have read the whole book or dipped into a particular chapter. In fact I have 2 copies so that when I have read my first one to pieces I still have a readable copy.
It is a very accessible and easy to read book, and is perfect for anyone who is just embarking on their spiritual path. But it is also a book to keep referring to, every time I get a little stuck or feel like things are stagnating I just spend some time reading it. I highly recommend this book.
