Riassunto

The Celtic Day Book can be a diary to treasure or a notebook for keeping and recording the birthdays of friends and relatives. It’s a beautiful place to make special notes. Each month is introduced with the Celtic lore and descriptions of the festivals celebrated during that month by our Celtic ancestors.

Each colourful daybook page is framed with traditional Celtic knot-work design and illustrated with pictures of Celtic scenes, saints, heroes and heroines.

Alongside images of Celtic life, the daybook fills each week with lines of Celtic song, poetry and wisdom. The texts have been thoroughly researched, resulting in a unique, diverse collection of Celtic mythology and knowledge.

Key dates such as the summer solstice are noted in the daybook, enabling the owner to keep track of the Celtic year. At a time when many people are looking to their Celtic heritage and seeking a more spiritual dimension to everyday life, this book is a simple way to inspire each day.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

The Celts are part of history for all of us who have roots in Europe. A look into traditional Celtic culture opens up a yearning for an authentic expression of spirituality and a return to the reverence for land and life that is central for Celtic life.

'The Celtic Day Book' is a celebration in pictures and words of the Celtic spirit as it has been unearthed over the past 2000 years – from artefacts uncovered by archaeologists, illuminated manuscripts by Irish monks, 19th century renderings of Celtic mythology and new Celtic art. The book is a delight to look at and invaluable for recording birthdays.

Illustrated throughout with paintings, drawings and decorative objects of art, 'The Celtic Daybook' is a treasury in words and pictures of the Celtic tradition. Drawing on upon the rich tapestry of Celtic culture, the book explores both myth and legend, from the themes of romantic love and courtship to tales of knights in shining armour, and examines the beliefs underpinning Celtic tradition, the festivals of Beltain, Lughnasadh and Samhain, and the myriad Celtic saints.

The Monastic Scribe

A hedge before me, one behind,
a blackbird sings from that,
above my small book many-lined
I apprehend his chat

Up trees, in costumes buff,
mild accurate cuckoos bleat,
Lord love me, good the stuff
I write in shady seat.

Anon., 9th century
