CELTIC BLESSINGS (BIRLINN)

Writing over a thousand years ago, the Celtic saints and their followers reflected not only the concerns and cares of their own times but also the hopes, fears, joys and anxieties which are always present in the human adventure. This collection of over 50 blessings and prayers contains some of the most moving and beautiful religious verse ever produced. Meditations on birth, death and the rhythms of everyday life are mixed with musings on the natural world and the presence of the divine.
