There is so much more to "Celtic" history than the more widely known Irish history! Turkish, Frankish, Manx, European, Basque ... Celts have had a profound impact upon Europe and beyond to North America. "So THAT is why we do ...!" I gained a much deeper understanding, knowledge and appreciation of this fascinating BLEND of old & new cultures, commonly thought of as (simply) "Irish." Great explanation of the pagan & Druidic aspects! I look forward to re-reading! There is even a printed summary, which I will enjoy! Thanks for writing this!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Overall
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2023

Overall a pretty good primer on the Celts of Ireland, but I noted some things I feel are inaccurate. First, the author says the early Celts raised corn as one of the crops, which seems improbable as corn was an American grain until much later. Second, the author says the Celts didn't travel beyond Ireland because of a lack of a sailing tradition. Other sources say the Celts of France and Iberia have a long tradition of sailing, including to the cod fisheries of eastern Canada. I see no reason to believe Irish Celts wouldn't have done the same.

This work supports and strengthens my belief that all religious beliefs are not based in facts, but in truth are all grounded in superstitions and myths. Count Volney had things right so many years ago.

Even the religiously held belief, taught by so many as truth, that being the theory of evolution. This theory ignores the fact that so many synchronized here and now elements within nature can not be accounted for by adding copious amounts of time. The theory, also in reality is based on pseudoscience which ignores the intangible, but real evidence that intelligence exists within nature.

We have much to learn.
