"Magic of the Celtic Gods and Goddesses" is an intimate glimpse into some of the most powerful, but least understood, of Pagan deities. "Magic Of The Celtic Gods And Goddesses" is the first resource available to help Pagans, Witches and Druids to connect specifically with the Celtic Gods and Goddesses in a truly deep, powerful and spiritual way. Celtic gods and goddesses are among the most popular of deities revered by today's Neo-Pagans, Witches, Wiccans and Druids. Figures like Brigid, Cernunnos, Rhiannon and CuChulainn are honoured for their magic, their bravery and their mythical deeds. But of all the major pantheons, the Celtic deities remain the most mysterious and elusive. Their myths are enigmatic, sometimes disturbing and often exist in only fragmentary form. Few resources exist to support a true and powerful connection between them...until now.
This book will help you: learn the major Irish, Welsh and continental Celtic deities; discover the major myths and lore associated with each deity; create rituals and magical work appropriate for each deity; understand the psychological archetypes of each God and Goddess; and relate the various gods and goddesses to the Sabbats and Holy Days. It includes visualisations, rituals and exercises to empower your relationship with the gods and goddesses.
