An Invitation to Celtic Wisdom : A Little Guide to Mystery, Spirit, and Compassion

Drawing on myth, folklore, poetry, and the tales of Celtic gods and heroes, this little book is an invitation to readers to explore the spiritual tradition of the Celtic peoples--a tradition rooted in hospitality and one that is of growing importance in these increasingly fractured and troubled times. An Invitation to Celtic Wisdom is divided into three parts: The Celtic Mystery: In this section McColman illustrates the mystery inherent in the Celtic spiritual path with a brief discussion of the three streams of Celtic spirituality and an introduction to thin places and holy wells. The Celtic Saints: McColman explores how faith in the Celtic saints is rooted in the desert spirituality of the early Christian tradition. Also included are profiles of Patrick, Brendan, and Bridget. How to Walk the Celtic Path: In this section the author explores hospitality, spiritual direction story-telling, spiritual power, and the Grail. McColman has written a splendid intro to a spiritual path that will appeal to both believers and seekers who are interested in all things Celtic.Author: Carl McColman,author Contributors: Carl McColman,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 208 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 25 Nov 2018 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Hampton Roads Publishing Co Author/Director/Artist: Carl McColman Dimension (cm): 178x127x19 mm Package Dimension (cm): 15x177x125 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 200
