About this product

Product Information

Revealed in accessible and stylish prose, this book uncovers the mystical secrets of the ancient Celtic world - the world discovered by St Patrick in the 5th century AD. When St Patrick came to Ireland in the 5th century AD, he encountered the Celtic people and a flourishing spiritual tradition that had already existed for thousands of years. He also discovered that where the Christians worshipped one God, the Celts had many and found divinity all around them- in the rivers, hills, sea and sky. The ancient Celtic reverence for the spirit in all things survives today - a vibrant legacy of mystical wisdom that is unique in the Western world. Now, in this exquisite book, Irish poet and schollar John O'Donohue shares with us the secrets of this ancient world. Using authentic Irish prayers and blessings, he reveals the treasures that lie hidden within your own soul and the 'secret divinity' in your relationships. As he traces the cycles of life and nature, he draws from the holy waters of Ireland's spiritual heritage to lead you to a place where your heart can be healed and nourished. It is a place wher you will disocer your own anam cara, your true 'soul friend'.

  • Spiritually uplifting without a doubt

    This book was recommended to me … at first I thought no this is to intellectual for me …. Something kept me going now I can’t put it down …. I so love this book but not a great reader but first go 50 pages … I Feel it’s better to read in chunk size pieces .. You won’t want to put it down there is something very spiritual in these pages and I can’t wait to read some more lovely friendly and loving in the heart and soul

  • a friend to your mind, and body as well as your soul.

    I read it 1st in 1999 and wanted to buy more copies for friends because it is deeply and comfortingly useful and fulfilling. It may be classed as compelling or awesome or amazing by some; to me it is much calmer and all the better for being that.

  • A book for life

    I first read this book over 20 years ago. I have bought it for others many times over. A wonderful book written so poetically which you will find yourself dipping into, over and over again. My favourite part is where he describes the five senses.

  • Gentle read

    I purchased the book because I was interested in the philosophy of what this book is about it. I know this is a 2nd hand book and has been looked after. So I will enjoy glancing through the page and seeing if it resonates with life.
