Ever Ancient Ever New: Celtic Spirituality in the 21st Century by Dolores Whelan. Paperback.
The Celtic spiritual and wisdom tradition is, paradoxically, very ancient and very new. It is a way of perceiving reality and a way of being in the world. The wisdom of this tradition is re-emerging, at this time, from centuries of marginalization. Much of the wisdom held within this tradition has similarities with that found in other primal cultures. The wisdom of the Celtic tradition will speak in a particular way to those having roots or links, however tentative, with the Celtic soul or consciousness. This book emphasises the need for modern humans to inhabit those dimensions of reality that once created the world of the Celtic people. These realms which still exist in our psyches, but have been marginalised over the centuries. The focus of the book is the reclamation of specific gifts from our ancestry in the Celtic past that might serve humanity today. - The importance of cyclical time as reflected in the Celtic Year calendar - The importance of mythic consciousness in creating healthy society - The importance of vibrant rituals in the spiritual well being of people. - The understanding of the unbroken wholeness of the universe - The sacredness of the living earth - The essential role darkness and of death in the life and soul journey. - The reclamation of the role of the Divine Feminine.
