"Anam Cara:
Spiritual
Wisdom from the Celtic World "
by John
O'Donohue
Anam Cara, meaning "Soul Friend" is
a book that is a song that we all seek to be sung. It shows how to find
the divinity within ourselves, our own individuality and uniqueness, how
to recognize this within others, and how to unite to make the sparks fly.
Reading this book causes us to look
at the structures that starve our being from being and inspires us and
guides us into breaking these structures, to actually become closer to
others than any structure can achieve.
As someone said, this is also a perfect
book to read by a blazing turf fire while the sidhe chatter and wail in
the wind. |

"Rekindling
The Flame::
A Pilgrimage
In The Footsteps Of Brigid Of Kildare"
by Rita
Minehan
To understand St. Brigid, you have to
visit Kildare, starting at the "Church Of The Oak" that gives Kildare its
name. Just that name tells of a wonderful marriage of pre-Christian Ireland
to its new Christianity.
Rekindling The Flame is an essential
guide for any pilgrim tracing the journey of Brigid and for any visitor
to Kildare.
Mary Teresa Cullen re-lit the Brigid
flame in 1993 and every pilgrim that follows Brigid's footsteps around
Kildare is rekindling the flame. |

"Across A Dark
Wild Sea"
by Don
Brown,
The life of Columcille portrayed through
a beautiful watercolour driven book. This was written for children of 4yrs
- 9 yrs but brings joy to people of all ages.
This lyrical narrative chronicles the
life of Columcille, especially his passionate commitment to words, music
and ideas.
It starts by illustrating the Dark Ages,
a time when the new rulers of Ireland were more focused on strife and battle
than education. Reading and writing was regarded as a kind of magic and
those who mastered these skills were wizards.
The story certainly covers Columcille's
mission from Iona where he and the other resident scribes devoted themselves
to transcribing manuscripts to create books that were "dispatched, like
small boats on a dark and wild sea", to places where reading and writing
had been forgotten or ignored.
Lovely sketches of how to make a book
and build a leather boat. |

"The Music
Of The Bible Revealed:
The Deciphering
of the Millenary Notation "
by Suzanne
Haik-Vantoura, translated by Denis Weber
Suzanne is a noted French musicologist.
This book, she wrote, argues that the accentual system preserved in the
Masoretic Text was originally a method of recording hand signals, known
as chironomy. She attempts to explain how the temple musicians were directed
with these hand signals during the performance of music.
Suzanne also explains how she attempted
to present these theories through reconstructing these hand signal notations
for performance of haunting and beautiful music in live concerts.
If you are not a musician this book
may not make sense, but active musicians are bound to be quite absorbed,
fascinated and even shocked by what is presented here.
I can also see a connection to this
and the Ogham language of Ireland, which arrived as a sign language with
the Tuatha De Dannan. The "Signs of David" and the "Signs Of Ogma" seem
to have so much in common. Its as if music and language came to us from
the Tribe Of Dan due to their legendary belief that God created the world
with music. |
