This is yet another wicca 101 primer rather than a reference on Celtic Paganism. Much of her claims fly in the face of archeologic evidence and credible historic research. Many of the sources Ms. Conway quotes are (at best) out of context. If you desire to learn about Celtic paganism, I would suggest "The Druids" by Stuart Piggott, "Pagan Celtic Britan", "The Pagan Celts", and "Druids, Gods, and Heroes from Celtic Mythology" all by Anne Ross.

Okay. This book has come in for a lot of criticism here, and a lot of it's justified.
However, this was the book that set me on the pagan path, and as such I guess I feel a little sentimental about it.
The history is bad. Okay. That's something you're likely to find in most books on paganism these days, and at least it's vague enough to make people (such as myself) read up on it and learn the "truth," so to speak.
I thought the correspondence tables were quite nice, even if there's next to no information on too many of the deities listed there aside from the mention of their names.
The rituals are the high point of the book for me. Even if they don't quite suit your personal practice, I'd recommend a look at them for ideas on how to write your own.
All in all, a book of limited use, but it makes for a nice read anyway.

If this book could recieve a rating of zero stars, it would. IT is absolute and utter fiction. Creative fiction, but fiction nonetheless. Folks, if you are looking for books about Celtic Paganism, SKIP THIS BOOK. The mythology is horrible, the research poor, and how can you possibly put Celtic Gods into correspondence charts?!?!?! A BAD BOOK.

good yet too broad needed to be more precise
This was a helpful book for beginers.But it needed to be a little more precise. The author needed to make it clear that Celtic and Wican magicks are almost the same. Read more
