Synopsis:

The Celts had many divination systems. In this text, Rosemarie Anderson revives this ancient Celtic tradition and gives it new life. It is based on 64 Celtic symbols and folk wisdom, designed as a tool for prophecy, personal development, intuition and spiritual growth.

Review: Serious research from a trained academic or imaginative intuition from a seer? It is rare to find a book that bestrides both realms with such assurance and here the result is fascinating. The author, Rosemarie Anderson PhD, has studied Celtic history, traditions, folklore and imagery for more than 20 years in an academic context. She has drawn upon this expertise in order to create a modern oracle or divination system which can be used by any reader in any situation. Although there is a card deck available to support the book, only the book itself and two matching coins of any denomination are needed in order to cast the oracle. This unique divination system allows the reader access to guidance and insights for their personal development and there is plenty of help in the book with interpreting the oracles. Illustrated with attractive black-and-white wood-cut prints throughout, the simplicity of the images reinforces their potency. Easy to use, absorbing to read, the oracle is based on traditions far older than tarot, using images, legends and symbols which have always been relevant to tribes throughout Europe and which will remain relevant to Celts all over the world today. --Claire Aloysia Ritson
