Title: How was this published?
Review: I read this book and was amazed by the contents.The Pocket Guide to Celtic Spirituality might function as a wonderful introduction to Neopaganism. However, the problem is that the author attributes exclusively Neopagan beliefs and rituals to the ancient Celts. Such obviously incorrect assertions as the statement that ancient Celtic priestesses were known as Naiads (Greek water nymphs) and that the Morrigan was a "sea goddess of wisdom and beauty" (virtually all other sources state she was a goddess of war) make me wonder if the author simply didn't bother to do any research at all, or is just indulging in wishful thinking. This book makes no distinction between facts and religious dogma, and anyone seeking a historical account of the mythology of the ancient Celts should not buy it.
