Women in Celtic Myth Tales of Extraordinary Women from Ancient Celtic Tradition

In Celtic myth, the mixture of wise spiritual teaching and dramatic imagery creates new, potent, and disturbing visions. This selection of eleven stories-some more than 3,000 years old-focuses on the women of ancient British mythology, from the formidable women warriors who trained heros to fight and kill to the beautiful companions who led them to higher realms of feminine intuition and spiritual wisdom. Caldecott goes beyond a mere recounting of female strength, providing lucid personal commentary that illuminates the complete myth and the culture from which it springs. These powerful stories transmit a recognition of the mystery of being and an understanding of the powerful magic of inner transformation.Caldecott, Moyra is the author of 'Women in Celtic Myth Tales of Extraordinary Women from Ancient Celtic Tradition', published 1992 under ISBN 9780892813575 and ISBN 0892813571.
