Wicca Influenced / No shaman practice
I've been studying different magical practices for well over 2 decades now and decided to get back to basics and read some beginner books.
It introduces shaman in the beginning, what it's called around the world, and very lightly on their "beliefs".
It lightly touched some very basic practices of Celtic magic such as the Ogham, a very brief list of deities, an okay list and explanation of holidays (by no means the best), and a Celtic Astrology list with exercises.
I was contemplating on giving it a 3 because it did have decent information though it didn't pertain specifically to Shamanism and touches very briefly on it. Then it starts spewing the whole rule of 3 garbage.
Honey, the world Celtic means "to strike", they are s warrior people. There's a damn reason the Romans built a wall when they hit Scotland. Up until the revival of magic cursing was just something the Irish and Scottish did, they made it a god d@mn art form at that. Let me make this very clear: Celtic is not the same as Wiccan. The ONLY thing they have in common is the holidays Gerald Gardner took from the Celts. Wicca is NOT a reconstruction of Celtic practice by ANY means. The oldest part of Wicca is the gospel of the witches which was invented by Charles Godfrey Leland in 1899.
And then the ONLY time they mention faries is when talking about a spell to banish depression. They state that faries have been known to cause illness, which they have, but talk about it in this spell so nonchalantly and basically tells the reader to tell them to be gone without taking any proper precautions or any prior information! Bruh the farie umbrella covers everything from pixies l to the bogo (inspiration for the boogie man) to the fricken nuckelavee. It doesn't talk about the Seelie or Unseelie (probably something you'd want to know if you're contemplating working with the fay) nothing, just a one time mention of them. Really shouldn't have mentioned them at all then honestly. Fairies are not to be messed with so light heartedly. They are not the safer bet to work with than let's say demons. If you're too afraid too work with demons then you should have that same fear towards fairies, period 👏
It lists some okay spells (the jar spell it has.ir doesn't even mention re doing every so often just make it and leave it In suppose) but not how to do Shaman.
Everything in this book can be found in a witch blog or FB group honestly (I do recommend witch groups on the amino app such as the Witch's Circle)
So happy it came included with Amazon prime so I didn't have to waste money. Definitely don't recommend.

Wrong from the Start
As an American of Scottish descent on my father's side and Irish descent on my mother's side, I am drawn to all things Celtic. So when I saw this book at a book review site, I thought I would check it out. Unfortunately, it disappointed me within the very first chapter. The author, or the ghostwriter who is writing on behalf of this popular metaphysical publisher, did not do enough research into Celtic people to understand the migration pattern of people whom we call Celts today. In that very first chapter, it is very clear that the writer does not understand that the earliest Celtic people were actually from the European continent, making their way westward to the edges of the continent and what we now call the British Isles. I'll admit I was already questioning the validity of the concept of “Celtic shamanism,” as I don't believe that was a concept among ancient Celts, even if they had wise women and wise men or other holy people back in the day. But this misrepresentation of the migration of the Celts left me stone cold, and I quickly DNFed the book. The internet is full of quickly obtainable information. This writer or her ghostwriter should have been able to research and assemble a credible version of the history of the British Isle Celts easily. Very disappointing.
I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

This is a lovely introduction guide to Celtic Shamanism and touches on various themes, topics and basics. Shamanism is an international tradition but each culture and native lands have their own unique gods, rituals and practices and this book gives a very brief look into the Celtic way. It covers the area from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England so even within these traditions there are variations and differences so the book is brief due to trying to incorporate all these culture under the umbrella of Celtic Shamanism.
Also covers a basic understanding of druids, pagans, ogham and tree astrology so nice mix of themes and topics covered.
Nice simple and very basic to get you started and glossary at back of the book good to give an understanding of terms. Ultimate guide is not my take on it, more basic introduction guide.

Celtic Shamanism is a comprehensive review of both the history of shamanism in all forms and those things specific to the Celtic version. It presents the gods in detail providing their characteristics and ways of worship. The information is presented in an easy to read and understand manner. The areas covered include magic, spells, symbols and astrology.

This author has no public presence 🚩no trusted sources 🚩 and publishes dozens of books per year 🚩 on sacred and culturally specific traditions. If you value accountability and integrity proceed with caution, many folks suspect it’s AI over on reddit ⚠️

Very Basic
I wanted to like this book, but it just felt so dry. I feel like it was more a basics of celtic paganism in general and not really about Celtic Shamanism. It really felt like I cold have stopped after the first few chapters and gaind the same amount of knowledge.
