Sinossi

Celtic Mythology explores the rich tapestry of Celtic beliefs, druids, and legendary figures, revealing their surprising and continued influence on modern culture. While complete written records from the Celts are scarce, archaeological findings and accounts from classical writers, along with medieval manuscripts, offer valuable insights. The book argues that core Celtic narratives have subtly shaped Western culture. One intriguing fact is the role of druids as spiritual leaders and keepers of knowledge, often misunderstood in popular culture.

 
The book begins by defining key terms and outlining the historical context, then explores the Celtic pantheon, the Otherworld, the druids, and legendary figures like Cú Chulainn and Queen Maeve. Analyzing sources such as the Mabinogion and the Ulster Cycle, the book avoids romanticized notions to engage with the complexities of Celtic history and culture.

 
Finally, it demonstrates the continuing presence of Celtic motifs in modern fantasy literature, film, and contemporary spirituality, illustrated with specific examples.

    In 1992 Sripad Jagannatha Das was asked if he would do an exclusive interview with the Maharishi in Switzerland. The author readily agreed as the reclusive spiritual master almost never met the press and was embarking on an ambitious mass meditation program to purify vast areas of the United States. After a great deal of negotiation, the two finally got together on Christmas Eve and had a prolonged, stirring conversation that is documented here. In addition, the Maharishi was joined by the late world-class magician Doug Henning. Put together with a chronological, historical narration by Das, here is your chance to go one on one with one of the greatest spiritual minds of our time. 
     
    Here too is the story of The Beatles circa 1968, as they trekked to a remote, mysterious, and beautiful part of India known as Rishikesh or the valley of the saints. For thousands of years, this riverside valley has been a magnet for advanced yogis, mystics, and seekers of truth. In 1968, it was the absolute zenith of all of this and the pop world as well. It was here the Beatles wrote dozens of now-iconic songs while meditating at the feet of the lauded spiritual master. Along with many of the world's most celebrated people, the group once again led the way as innovators in not only music but innate spirituality as well.   
    Fifty years later, we remember the group's bold trek and artistic accomplishment in this inspirational audio biography from Beatles author and historian Geoffrey Giuliano. The Maharishi, the Beatles, and friends tell their own stories in this one-of-a-kind celebration of a magical time gone by. 
     
    Finally, here are several enlightening lectures by Maharishi all of which are surcharged with the sublime transcendental knowledge with are the masters perpetual stock in trade.

    Celia Paul's Letters to Gwen John centers on a series of letters addressed to the Welsh painter Gwen John (1876–1939), who has long been a tutelary spirit for Paul. John spent much of her life in France, making art on her own terms and, like Paul, painting mostly women. John's reputation was overshadowed during her lifetime by her brother, Augustus John, and her lover Auguste Rodin. Through the epistolary form, Paul draws fruitful comparisons between John's life and her own: their shared resolve to protect the sources of their creativity, their fierce commitment to painting, and the ways in which their associations with older male artists affected the public's reception of their work. 
     
     
     
    Letters to Gwen John is at once an intimate correspondence, an illuminating portrait of two painters, and a writer/artist's daybook, describing Paul's first exhibitions in America, her search for new forms, her husband's diagnosis of cancer, and the onset of the global pandemic. Paul, who first revealed her talents as a writer with her memoir, Self-Portrait, enters with courage and resolve into new unguarded territory—the artist at present—and the work required to make art out of the turbulence of life. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
