It could be better, but it could be far worse. Very readable. (  ) natasiakith | Apr 22, 2009 | Junk! It along with Norse Magic are about as worthless as it gets. Nearly the same book just switch a few names in and out. Nothing here of educational value at all. You want to learn about the Celts and their practices read their legends and delve into their history and look at archaeology and its findings don't waste your time with this drivel. (  ) Loptsson | Dec 21, 2008 | I can only echo what's been said before. This book is Wicca with an Irish/Scottish/Welsh/British flag wrapped around haphazardly, with the corners exposed. This book is no different than the author's other book "Norse Magic." If you look at both, the Gods are the only differences, and most of the time, especially in this book, the Gods are attributed to myths or associations that I have no idea where Ms. Conway found. If you want a real look at Celtic Pagan practices, do NOT read this book. 1  SlySionnach | Jun 2, 2008 | This is a great book. I've enjoyed all Llewellyn books and this is no exception. It delves into a realm of fantasy that others don't. While some, no doubt, use this book to practice the faith it is a nice insight into the workings of superstition of the Celtic peoples.
