Anam
Cara : A Book of Celtic Wisdom
offers
an exploration of the secret universe we all carry inside
us, the connections we forge with the worlds of our friends
and loved ones, and the products of our worlds reflected
in the things we create outside of ourselves. Anam Cara,
Gaelic for "soul friend," is an ancient journey down a nearly
forgotten path of wisdom into what it means to be human.
Drawing on this age-old perspective, John O'Donohue helps
us to see ourselves as the Celts did: we're more than just
flesh, blood, and bone; we comprise individual worlds. The
comprehension of the sublime architecture of the worlds
we are born with will engender a new appreciation for the
outside world and the way we contribute to its evolution.

Anam
Cara : Wisdom from the Celtic World
Priest,
poet and philosopher John O'Donohue weaves Celtic and
Christian thought and mythology into a comforting series
of talks to help the listener slow down, look around and
become more in tune with the inner self. O'Donohue's relaxed,
gentle voice; his love of nature; and his understanding
stance all welcome the engaged listener and invite repeated
listening. Several of the talks begin or end with a blessing
of O'Donohue's own composition. He uses Celtic legends
to illuminate his points and Irish harp music to make
transitions. Handsomely packaged and beautifully produced,
ANAM CARA is a wonderful gift or addition to one's personal
library. L.R.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Trees : Spirituality, Wisdom &...

are sacred beings, nurturing us with oxygen, food, material
for shelter, and even medicines. A heartfelt, passionate
discussion of the history and meaning of trees, along
with dozens of illustrations, gives a new appreciation

lives. Travel the world to examine how a multitude of

born. Almost all believed these majestic gifts of nature
possessed a special "life force" and were even endowed
with spirits.

Spirits

Many
people tell of the mystical "presence" of
stone circles and standing stones--a sense
of awe, a tingling feeling, a communion
with ancient spirits or deities. Sometimes
these are simply feelings, sometimes full-blown
visions; many are surprisingly similar.
