In the House of Memory: Ancient Celtic Wisdom for Everyday Life by Steve Rabey

1998 paperback edition in good condition 

"At a time when many people are seeking out the comforts of traditional beliefs, but remain wary of overly confining disciplines, Celtic spirituality offers something for almost everyone. A living faith combining the past and the present, Celtic belief brings together the ancient Irish pagan worship of nature and spirits with a vigorous Christianity and celebration in word and song. This handsome and informative volume is an ideal introduction to the world of Celtic belief, tracing its origins from Druidic practices, to the conversion of Ireland by St. Patrick, to the modern interest in Celtic history and mythology. Each chapter traces a particular theme of Celtic life--love of the land, seeing the world as sacred, soul friendship, and the power of silence--and suggests how these traditions can be kept as a vital part of our own lives. Perfect for browsing or personal reflection, In The House Of Memory is a volume of spiritual comfort and lasting wisdom."
