Celtic Spirit-Fire: An Adventurous Journey Into The Sacred World [Apr 11, 2008] McCoy, Michael J.

Alarmed by the direction of their descendants throughout the world, the ancient Goddesses and Gods of Celtic lands are summoning prophetic voices to remind the people of their own divinity, and the interconnectedness of everything and everyone. Secure in their smug complacency, confident they had wiped out the indigenous spirituality, the church is unaware that the secret fraternity of artisans and smiths had preserved the memory of the old way. Now they have come out of hiding and are promulgating the ancient symbols and insights. Amidst accusations from the church of blasphemy and heresy, the old fires have been rekindled. And, as the Irish people are finally told the truth, that it was the church who sold them into eight hundred years of slavery to the British Empire, many are returning to the primal spirit path of their ancestors. Throughout the land, and across the globe, there are rumors of midnight fires burning deep within the forests, around which it is said the ancient Fianna, Warrior Bands, have been reborn.
