By Land Sea and Sky

by Morgan Daimler

This book is a selection of modernized, paganized prayers and charms from volumes one and two of Carmichael's Carmina Gadelica, intended for use by Druids, Celtic Reconstructionists, or others interested in Celtic spiritulaity. The Carmina Gadelica is a six volume collection of prayers, charms, and folklore from Scotland assembled around 1900 by Alexander Carmichael. This book represents modernized, re-paganized versions of selected prayers and charms from the first two volumes of the series. It is designed to be used by Celtic Polytheists, Druids, or anyone else interested in Celtic Spirituality. All original deity references have been replaced with the names of Irish gods, and the language has been modernized, but otherwise the content has been kept as true to the original as possible.

I love the idea of this, and think she managed it very well. It does make me consider looking at the actual Carmina Gadelica: Hymns and Incantations and possibly adapting some of the other pieces.

This has become a go to book of prayers for me as an Irish Pagan practitioner. Good index format for easy searching, easy to read and Morgan's notations throughout help give context for some of the more obscure prayers. Couldn't recommend enough!

Excellent to have in the repertoire, and good to pull out daily for your practice. I've found that it's also an amazing book to get my creativity flowing so that I write my own daily prayer.

I'm very glad to have this book. It is a wonderful resource to have and truly is one of a kind on the market at the moment.
