Vital for Gaelic Traditions,
This review is from: The Gaelic Otherworld: Superstitions Of The Highlands And Islands Of Scotland And Witchcraft & Second Sight In The Highlands & Islands (Paperback)
Extensive collection of folklore and folk customs, this is a very important book that deserves a place on the book shelf of everyone interested in Gaelic (or general Celtic) traditions. Like the Carmina Gadelica and the Silver Bough, this gives a rare look into the daily spiritual practices of the region. If you're only buying two or three Gaelic books, this should be one of them.

This review is from: The Gaelic Otherworld: Superstitions Of The Highlands And Islands Of Scotland And Witchcraft & Second Sight In The Highlands & Islands (Paperback)
We can thank the editors and publishers of this book for bringing it to light. I'd say this rates with Carmina Gadelica and The Silver Bough as source material on Gaelic culture and magical lore. Black's introduction puts the provenance of the material in clear perspective. Even if the author's research has flaws, this is a fascinating collection. Those working to build new things from the lumber of 18th and 19th century Scots lore will find a trove of ideas.
