Step into the living folklore of the Celtic world-where superstition was once survival, and the unseen was part of daily life.
This illustrated compendium explores the old beliefs of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Brittany, and Galicia, revealing a shared cultural thread of spirits, omens, protective rituals, and household wisdom.
Each region unfolds as a layered portrait of belief-where nature, death, luck, and protection were not abstract ideas, but active forces woven into homes, landscapes, and seasons.
A journey through the forgotten logic of superstition, where meaning lived in signs, silence, and story.
