Great Resource, Silly Amazon,
This review is from: The Celtic Vision: Prayers, Blessings, Songs, and Invocations from the Gaelic Tradition (Paperback)
This is a great collection of prayers showcasing real Celtic spirituality (aka, from real Celtic peoples, who wouldn't think of themselves as Celtic.) Amazon is mistaken in labeling it Irish though, as it's from the Carmina Gadelica, which deals with the Scottish folk living in the Outer Hebrides.
In any case, usable and interesting prayers straight from the source.

A Very Special Reason,
By
This review is from: The Celtic Vision: Prayers, Blessings, Songs, and Invocations from the Gaelic Tradition (Paperback)
My son and his wife sing in a choir in Victoria, B.C., and during the time when his older sister was dying from cancer in Toronto, the choir sang for her at every choir practice the first verse of Be Thou A Smooth Way. An artist friend designed a memorial card for my daughter and it contained this verse, then my friend remembered she had a copy of The Celtic Vision, in which the complete prayer is printed. We both were touched by what we learned about the spirituality of the ancient Celts and loved some of the prayers. I purchased my own copy, which I use frequently and treasure, and then bought six other copies as gifts for family and friends.
