The Poet Priestess

I would like to introduce you to Mabh Savage, author of A Modern Celt: Seeking the Ancestors. In Mabh’s own words:

My book, A Modern Celt: Seeking the Ancestors is at its heart an exploration of how an ancient culture has so much impact on our modern, day to day lives. I speak to ordinary people from all walks of life, some pagan, some not, who describe events that either hark back to the tales and myths of the Celts, or speak of a spiritual connection to the Fae and those we now call Gods and Goddesses such as the Dagda, The Morrigan and Lugh. I look at how to seek a connection to your own ancestors; to understand your own place in the universe. I also look at how the stories and tales, originally passed solely by word of mouth, have survived the millennia and are still so relevant in our society of concrete and technology. We see how the wheel of the year, the cornerstone for many pagan lives, was not only the Celtic year but their understanding of how the world worked, and how tapping into that can enrich our own lives.
