Summary

The CR FAQ ? An Introduction to Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism is a landmark in the field of Celtic religion and spirituality. The first book completely devoted to the spiritual path of Celtic Reconstructionism (CR), it is the work of a diverse group of CR elders, including some of the founders of the tradition, making it a foundation document for this growing religious and cultural community. Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism (CR) is a movement that seeks to rebuild and revitalize an authentic, pre-Christian, polytheistic spiritual practice, one that is true to the ancient sources and the ways of the ancestors, yet also contains deep relevance to our lives in the modern world. With a welcome glossary and pronunciation guide, The CR FAQ provides a much-needed and helpful introduction to the Celtic languages, as well as suggestions for personal practice and a resources section. Patricia Kennealy Morrison, Celtic priestess and author of The Keltiad, says: ?There has been a need for this book for decades. Finally it?s here. Comprehensive, common-sensical, reverent, witty, all-encompassing: it deals with Celtic modes in a way both down-to-earth and transcendent, honoring the past, sacring the present, hallowing the future. Anyone who feels the pull of the Celtic way of spirit, regardless of ethnic heritage, and who would like to embody it in their lives, needs to read this extraordinary work.?All proceeds are being donated to Gaelic language and cultural preservation charities in the Celtic nations and worldwide.
