"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.
