Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland

Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland explores the mythology of the Irish respecting the invisible world--strange and mystical superstitions, brought thousands of years ago from their Aryan home, but which still, even in the present time, affect all the modes of thinking and acting in the daily life of the people. For practitioners of Wicca, the fairy lore, supernatural knowledge and magickal worldview of the ancient Celts hold enduring fascination as a primary root from which the living vine of modern Wicca springs. No work better captures both the clear facts and the numinous spirit of Irish pagan belief than this 1887 classic of Celtic folklore and magic. Required reading for all serious Wiccans!
