Step into the sacred world of Celtic gods, spirits, heroes, fae beings, and ancient folklore.
The Book of Celtic Gods and Spirits is a detailed guide to the mythic and spiritual landscape of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and the wider Celtic world. From the shining race of the Tuatha Dé Danann to the antlered presence of Cernunnos, from the horse goddess Epona to the battle power of the Morrigan, this book explores the figures, places, stories, and traditions that shaped one of Europe's most mysterious sacred inheritances.
Inside these pages, readers will discover a richly layered world where rivers carried the names of goddesses, wells opened paths to healing and wisdom, trees held sacred law, fairy hills guarded the Otherworld, and seasonal rites marked the turning of the year. The book moves through Irish myth, Welsh tradition, continental Celtic deities, heroic figures, sacred animals, fae beings, household customs, death omens, ancestor memory, holy wells, sacred groves, and regional folklore with depth, atmosphere, and careful attention to surviving sources.
Inside you will explore:
The Tuatha Dé Danann, including the Dagda, Brigid, Lugh, Nuada, Boann, Oengus, Goibniu, Ogma, and Dian Cécht
The Morrigan and the goddesses of sovereignty, including Macha, Medb, Eriu, Banba, Fodla, and the battle goddess tradition
Continental Celtic deities, including Cernunnos, Epona, Taranis, Belenos, Sucellos, Nantosuelta, Sirona, Borvo, and the Matres
Welsh myth and enchanted houses, including Rhiannon, Branwen, Bendigeidfran, Arianrhod, Math, Gwydion, Blodeuwedd, Annwn, and the Mabinogi
Fae and spirit beings, including the aos sÃ, bean sÃ, kelpie, selkie, knocker, Ankou, sluagh, and other presences of Celtic folklore
Sacred animals and symbols, including the raven, stag, horse, salmon, boar, swan, hound, serpent, and bull
Holy wells, sacred trees, seasonal rites, and household protections, from Imbolc and Beltane to Samhain, Lughnasadh, rowan, iron, fire, milk, and threshold customs
Death lore and ancestor belief, including corpse roads, keening women, banshee traditions, the washer at the ford, and the restless host of the dead
Regional Celtic folklore, exploring Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man through their gods, spirits, stories, and sacred places
This is a book for readers drawn to Celtic mythology, ancient religion, pagan spirituality, fae folklore, sacred landscapes, Irish and Welsh myth, and the old stories that still cling to wells, stones, trees, mountains, rivers, and lonely roads.
The gods may have changed their names. The spirits may have withdrawn into hill, mist, water, and story. But the old country has never fully gone silent.
