Carl McColman and Kathryn Hinds. The Spirit of the Celtic Gods and Goddesses: Their History, Magical Power, and Healing Energies. York Beach, ME: Weiser Books, 2020.
McColman and Hinds's Spirit of the Celtic Gods and Goddesses helps you to integrate into your spiritual practice the gods and goddesses of the rich Celtic mythology through exercises, visualizations, and rituals.
From the publisher: "Figures like Brigid, Cernunnos, Rhiannon, and the Morrigan are honored for their magic, their bravery, and their mythical deeds. Among pagans, the gods and goddesses of Gaul, Ireland, Wales, and the other Celtic lands rank with the most popular and influential of the Greek, Roman, Norse, and Egyptian pantheons."
This book details each major Celtic deity, their myths & lore, aspects of the psychological archetypes, sabbats and holy days. With this knowledge you can create rituals and magical workings that deepen your relationship with each deity.
