Synopsis

Discover a wellspring of Celtic magic that is vibrantly contemporary yet draws heavily on ancient and mythological texts. Weaving together practices and lore gleaned from Irish, British, Scottish, and Continental Celtic traditions, this book guides you through rituals and deity work that you can apply to healing, empowerment, protection, social justice, and more. Morpheus Ravenna's methods are rooted in the beliefs of multiple gods (polytheism), spirits that dwell in all things (animism), and the hidden but ever-present spirit realm (the Otherworld). Explore Celtic-based practices like divination, sigil work, spirit alliances, and necromancy. You will also learn about spiritual hygiene, protection, and binding. Featuring Morpheus' own illustrations throughout the book and on the cover, this book helps you deepen your devotional and magical experience. Includes a foreword by River Devora, a multi-traditional spirit worker, healer, and teacher.
