Celtic Mysteries. The Ancient Religion.
London: Thames & Hudson, 1991. Reprint. Softcover. Small quarto (11" x 8" x 11"). 96 pp. Illustrated pictorial wrappers. B&w and color illustrations. A generously illustrated survey of Celtic religion and lore: ""The last tribal culture in Europe was that of the Celtic lands, whose landscape and traditions hold echoes of the ancient religion of nature and its symbols of death and rebirth. The mysteries begin in the frenzy of battle, where the hero is transfigured and a God appears; or in a ghostly circle of stones left by an unknown people; or in the mystic centre of the Celtic Cross; or in the stone heads of Gaul and Ireland, which face both ways; or in the illusive in-between place of mist and twilight." Price label on rear cover. Otherwise, a tight and bright VG+ copy. Item #36313
