Fascinating, painstakingly researched study of occult beliefs and practices in Celtic Britain. Intriguing discussions include the origins of the Druids, Arthurian cults, the mystery of the Holy Grail, Celtic spells and charms, black magic, the Celtic spirit world — with its populations of banshees, leprechauns, brownies and a host of lesser phantoms — and many other topics.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Spiritual, magical, mystical!,

This review is from: The Magic Arts in Celtic Britain (Paperback)
Author Lewis Spence spends a great deal of time trying to explain to the reader that he is not the authority on this subject, however the depth of the passages in this book contradict his claim.The book offers readers a very detailed summary of various forms of the Magic Arts (Celtic spirituality, Arthurian Legend, Druids, etc...)....Rating of 4 stars only because there are just a small smattering of sketches/plates to accompany the text. I've read in various interviews with Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant that this book inspired him to write Stairway to Heaven!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on Celtic beliefs!,
This review is from: The Magic Arts In Celtic Britain (Hardcover)
I own this first edition book, and I treasure it immensely. Lewis Spence makes ancient beliefs understandable. He covers the gambit of Celtic and early British folklore. Here you can read everything from the nature of Celtic ghosts, to their understanding of what occurs after death. Learn about druidism, bardism, King Arthur,the Holy Grail, and just about everything else that is related.
