About this ebook

Drawing on myth, folklore, poetry, and the tales of Celtic gods and heroes, this little book is an invitation to readers to explore the spiritual tradition of the Celtic peoples--a tradition rooted in hospitality and one that is of growing importance in these increasingly fractured and troubled times. McColman illustrates the mystery inherent in this spiritual path with a brief discussion of the three streams of the Celtic path. He explores how faith in the Celtic saints is rooted in the desert spirituality of Christianity. And, most importantly, he explores how contemporary seekers can learn to walk the path of Celtic spirituality. McColman has written a splendid intro to a spiritual path that will appeal to both believers and seekers who are interested in all things Celtic.
