Product Description
Book Description
In The Celtic Shaman John Matthews presents for the first time the techniques and methods of Celtic shamanism
Product Description
Probably the oldest known spiritual discipline, shamanism is the timeless art of living in harmony with creation, providing a universal system to work with today, whatever our religion or spiritual affiliation may be. A reflection of a living tradition with a supremely practical approach to life, it teaches skills for living and ways to utilize latent abilities which we all possess. Celtic Shamanism derives from the native traditions of North-West Europe. The shamanic contribution of the Celts and their predecessors has been overlooked until recently, and is one of the last shamanic traditions to be explored. While it shares common elements with American, Australian and Siberian teachings, it derives entirely from Celtic source material. The Celtic Shaman offers a varied and easily followed plan of self-tuition for anyone interested in Celtic mythology and the Western mysteries.

For anyone interested in the Western traditions, *anything* by either of the Matthews is always worth a look. This book provides a useful introduction.
My only quibble with this is its dogmatic tone.
There was so much dogmatic '*this* is how it is' stuff in the book that I was going to give it three stars (being a catmatic person, myself). However, I've reconsidered and award it four.

The one problem with any work that wishes to address the beliefs, religious and magical practices of the Celts is lack of written records and unbroken oral traditions.This book acknowledges this fact and does it's best to present a working sytem of shamanic technique that relies upon a past of twilight and dream that has been, thanks to the 'Bloody Romans' Monty Python's Life Of Brian (Immaculate Edition) [DVD] [1979]forever lost to us. Thankfully, the author's knowledge of Native British mysticism helps to fill in the (considerable) blanks, leaving us with a work that is refreshingly free of sugary 'new age' sensiblities unlke certain other publications Faeriecraft: Treading the Path of Faerie Magic. The end result is a practical guide to shamanism, that at the time of it's first publication managed to free the practice from the cliche of Native American trappngs.
