Priteni: The Decimation of Celtic Briton

by Lore de Angeles

The Celtic magic and mysticism, prior to the Roman invasion of Britain, is written in a scholarly but storytelling weaving - a tapestry of history - because this story would not be true otherwise. Many books have attempted to present the paganism of the Priteni people and most have failed for one simple the indigenous inhabitants are described in the past tense, alleging that they have long since died out. The brutal invaders, killers and colonisers of what is now known as England, Scotland and Wales have attempted to eradicate the lore, law, customs, language, culture and spirituality of those first people. In many instances rape and assimilation through force would have come close to breeding us out. De Angeles delivers the soul of an ancient and magical people, their valour and humour, the battles they fight to maintain a traditional way of life, and that still live. The author is a direct descendant of Caradoc, one of the heroes in that distant pasts' struggle for self determination.To many reading this it will be the first time they have heard the names of these historic people, let alone celebrate their kinship with them. This could very well be your own family.Forgetting is the sleep of freedom.

About the author

Lore de Angeles (formerly known by the first name Ly) is an internationally published author winning awards for both visionary fiction and short film.

Known for Witchcraft Theory and Practice (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2000) and the award-winning The Quickening (Llewellyn Worldwide, 2006) she was first published in 1987 by Nevill Drury's boutique imprint Unity Prism UK.

The majority of her fictional work is that of legend, philosophy and myth - both of the seeming mist-shrouded past and the so-called far-flung future.

Lore grew up by the coast in Sydney, Australia, lost amongst the rocky cliffs and wild sea.

By the age of thirty two she was mother of three and lived off the grid in the highlands of Victoria with her coven.

De Angeles' passions are the art of clear communication, history, mythology, the legends of Ireland and her Celtic heritage, debating with strong-willed, good-humored people, all the wild things and all the wild places, the sea, the mists, every possible color grey. She's infamous for her outspoken stance on matters pertaining to the sustainability and guardianship of earth and the rights of all species to self-determination.

De Angeles moved from Byron Bay to Melbourne in 2012.
