[size=+1]Description:[/size]
This book looks at Celtic spirituality in the modern age. At its best, Celtic spirituality seems to fill a real need, and whether it is historically true, it has developed in its own right. However, it is also true that much of what is called Celtic is derived from what others have written, often known at third hand, which has then been cited as fact, or adapted by new writers. Either way it is worth considering how and why this has happened and to learn more about how Celtic spirituality has developed, why it is so important at present, and how, in spite of these drawbacks, it remains so attractive.

Am reading this at the moment. Caveat: it's about Celtic Christianity (though it respectfully acknowledges Pagan Celtic spirituality) - I'm interested in Celtic Christianity and the places where it has things in common with Celtic Paganism. I'll post a review when I've finished.
