May the saints be with you on your pilgrimage As we near the end of the twentieth century, in an often confused and hostile world, the Celtic saints and their deep peace offer hope and consolation. The many places associated with them provide direct contact with an older wisdom and a sanity which has been obscured by the chaos of modern life. The significance of Celtic traditions and the association with pilgrimage and its destinations were vital to our ancestors, and the Celtic saints and sites in particular were - and still are - especially important. Pilgrimage means many things to many people. It can be a physical journey taken as a break from ordinary life with a specific site as its goal, or it can be inner voyage of spiritual discovery with a certain objective in mind or perhaps both simultaneously, as is often the case with traditional Celtic pilgrimage.

This fascinating book explains these and other aspects of Celtic pilgrimage. The sense of an adventure into the unknown, intrinsic to Celtic myth and legends, will make you want to visit many of the places in Britain, Ireland and Brittany described here.

Divided into thirteen sections, equivalent to the weeks between the four major festivals of the Celtic calendar, but adapted for modern readers using the twelve calendar months, Celtic Pilgrimages is both practical and inspiring. The text is enhanced by the magnificent illustrations of celebrated modern Celtic artist Courtney Davis.
