CELTIC SEX MAGIC
For Couples Groups and Solitary Practitioners
Jon Hughes

The first written account by a contemporary Welsh initiate of the ancient tradition of sex magic as practiced by generations of Celtic druids. • Reveals authentic, accurate, and fully illustrated instructions. • Provides detailed instructions for crafting, purifying, and energizing all the necessary ritual tools. Sex magic is an important component of Celtic spiritual practice. Unlike other ritual practices that look to intermediaries or deities to execute the participants' wishes, druids believe that individuals can directly influence exterior reality by focusing their own internal sexual energy. Sex magic potentizes and projects this energy so that it reaches its full power, allowing the participants to liberate their consciousness from everyday awareness and influence reality at will. Written by a practicing druid with more than forty years in the tradition, Celtic Sex Magic explains the fundamental principles involved in channeling the vast amounts of energy generated during orgasm for the purpose of projecting spells and elevating consciousness. The secrets of this tradition have been passed down orally for generations and are revealed here in print for the first time. This workbook contains authentic, accurate, and fully illustrated instructions for a wide range of sex magic rituals that may be used by couples, groups, and solitary practitioners. The author also provides detailed instructions for crafting the necessary ritual tools and brewing the potions used in these rituals. Celtic Sex Magic offers the keys to unlocking and directing the enormous potential of sexual energy.

CELTS
Uncovering the Mythic and Hostoric Origins of Western Culture
Jean Markale

While historians have tended to accord the Celts a place of minor significance in comparison to the Romans, The Celts firmly aligns the Celtic peoples as the primary European precedent to the Greco-Roman hegemony, restoring this culture to its true importance in the development of European civilization. An expert in Celtic studies, Markale regards myth as a branch of history, and explores mythological material to reveal the culture that gave rise to it. The alternative historical vision that emerges is both convincing and exciting.

• One of the most comprehensive treatments of Celtic civilization ever written.

• A cornerstone of Western civilization and the major source of its social, political, and literary values, Celtic civilization occupied the whole of Western Europe for more than a millennium.

• Unlike the Middle Eastern forerunners of the Greco-Roman world, Celtic civilization is still alive today.

DRUIDS CELTIC PRIESTS OF NATURE £14.99
DRUIDS CELTIC PRIESTS OF NATURE

Jean Markale

A comprehensive and revealing look at the druids and their fundamental role in Celtic society that dispels many of the misconceptions about these important religious figures and their doctrine • Written by the world's leading authority on Celtic culture Druidism was one of the greatest and most exalting adventures of the human spirit, attempting to reconcile the unreconcilable, the individual and the collective, creator and created, good and evil, day and night, past and future, and life and death. Because of the oral nature of Celtic civilization our understanding of its spiritual truths and rituals is necessarily incomplete. Yet evidence exists that can provide the modern reader with a better understanding of the doctrine that took druidic apprentices 20 years to learn in the remote forests of the British Isles and Gaul. Using the descriptions of the druids and their beliefs provided by the historians and chroniclers of classic antiquity--as well as those recorded by the insular Celts themselves when compelled, under Christianity's influence, to utilize writing to preserve their ancestral traditions--Jean Markale painstakingly pieces together all that is known for certain about them. The druids were more than simply the priests of the Celtic people; their influence extended to all aspects of Celtic life. The Druids covers everything concerning the Celtic religious domain, intellectual speculations, cultural or magical practices, various beliefs, and the so-called profane sciences that have come down from the Celtic priesthood.

EPICS OF CELTIC IRELAND £14.99
EPICS OF CELTIC IRELAND
Ancient Tales of Mystery and Magic
Jean Markale

A world-renowned Celtic historian restores the classic Irish epics to their original sacred context. Some of the most powerfully moving tales in Western literature are to be found in the epics of Celtic Ireland. Heroes and heroines like Finn Mac Cool Grainne and Cuchulainn are now familiar names and their exploits have even been novelized for the contemporary reader. But the value of these stories extends far beyond mere entertainment. In Celtic myth the adventure of a hero and a warrior is not only an instinctive search for answers to the great human metaphysical problems but also a palpable even sensual experience. The dividing line between sacred and profane is forever shifting in ways that can be shocking if not incomprehensible to a person accustomed to the logical systems based on classical thought. Distrustful of the written word Celtic druids forbade anything involving their tradition from being put into writing. However Christian monks chose to preserve all they could of the oral tradition on paper. Unfortunately they did not hesitate to alter what they couldn't comprehend or what their Christian sensibilities found shocking. In this collection of some of the most important narratives in the rich Irish tradition Jean Markale restores these texts to their original form and reveals how the Celtic spirit is on the verge of reclaiming its rights.

GRAIL CELTIC ORIGINS OF SACRED ICON £12.99
GRAIL CELTIC ORIGINS OF SACRED ICON

Jean Markale

A comprehensive look at the Grail that reveals its fundamentally Celtic nature beneath layers of Christian interpretations • Emphasizes the significance of the Quest as an archetype of spiritual seeking • By the world's preeminent authority on Celtic civilization The Grail has long excited the imaginations of those seeking to see beyond the world of appearances. No other sacred object has inspired such longing or such dread. The Grail is the archetype of the marvelous object in which each individual can enclose the goal of his own personal quest. For some the goal of this quest has been divine grace or the Philosophers' Stone, for others it is simply a treasure that connects various episodes of the King Arthur legend. Yet the Grail, as an object that is both close and unapproachable, was not the original focus of these stories. The Celtic tales on which the Grail legend is based emphasize the theme of the Quest. Through his exploration of several versions of this myth that appeared in the Middle Ages, Jean Markale digs deep beneath the Christian veneer of these tales, allowing us to penetrate to the true meaning of the Grail and its Quest, legacies of a rich Celtic spirituality that has nourished the Western psyche for centuries. He also examines how these myths were later used by the Knights Templar, as well as how their links with Alchemy and Catharism played a decisive role in the shaping of Western Hermetic thought.

MAKING OF A DRUID hb
Hidden Teachings from the Colloquy of Two Sages
Christian J Guyonvarch

Provides new insights into the vast store of knowledge every druid was expected to know--knowledge that took fifteen to twenty years of rigorous study to acquire. · Translation of the classic Celtic text Imcallam in da Thuarad generally translated as The Colloquy of Two Sages. Because ancient Druidic knowledge was transmitted orally most of what has been represented as the teachings of the druids has been conjecture or fantasy. Now eminent Celtic scholar Christian J. Guyonvarc'h tears away the obscurity surrounding what the druids taught and how they taught it with his magisterial examination of the little-known Celtic text Imcallam in da Thuarad generally translated as The Colloquy of Two Sages. Up to now this text has been regarded as merely an elaborate battle of wits between two bards a dispute centered on a younger bard's attempt to unseat an older bard's position in the court of Conchobar. Thanks to the present translation and its accompanying commentary we now can see that this text depicts the examination by a teacher of a Druidic candidate. Consequently the reader gains valuable insight into the actual nature of Druidic science and the vast store of knowledge--acquired over an arduous fifteen- to twenty-year period--necessary to become a druid. Both modern druids and Celtic aficionados alike will find MAKING OF A DRUID a fascinating storehouse of forgotten wisdom.
