Celtic Prayers & Practices (formally 'The Inner Journey')
Set out on the inner journey and discover the Divine image that is the light in the center of your being, just like the Celtic Christians knew. The inner journey has great rewards-but the wild storms, dark nights, and stretches of barren desert can't be avoided. That's why this book was written. It offers an oasis where you can be refreshed along the journey-and a candle or two to carry with you when the nights are dark. Here you will find opportunities to be better equipped for your journey, here is a guide book for wayfarers, for wanderers, for 'Keltoi'.
"If you have not yet begun to meditate, I implore you by the love of our Lord, not to deprive yourself of so great a good. There is nothing to be afraid of; there is everything to gain."
-Teresa of Avila

Four allegorical tales with a Celtic flavour. One ancient tale retold; 2 contemporary tales retold; and an original tale. At the end of each story, there is a reflection and meditation to encourage deeper thought.
“Storytelling has long been a part of our humanity…for thousands of years, stories have been told and collected, orally and through writing. Stories help us to make sense of the world...The ancient Celts, like many cultures, loved stories. The eighth-century historian Bede tells us in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People of the ancient Celtic tradition called “Passing of the Harp,” where communities would gather in the Mead Hall, or other communal hall, and tell stories through the evenings around a fire, with food and drink flowing. This tradition was continued in the Celtic monastic communities, such as the one in Whitby, where Bede makes mention of it…storytelling is all about: connecting deep truths with ordinary lives to make those lives extraordinary.” - from introduction.
