Well put together book on the basics of Celtic, specifically Gaelic, spiritual beliefs. I really enjoyed hhow she broke it down into months and also incorporated her own thoughts and ideas but clealy labeled them as her own. The meditations are also a nice addition. ( )

This is a very attractively presented book; I'm not sure I completely believe in the accuracy or historicity of everything in it, but that's OK. I decided I would probably never put it all into practice, though, so off it goes to the library book sale. ( )
