Summary: BASIC WICCA WITH A CELTIC SLANT
Review: This book is another basic Llewellyn book that scratches the surface of a topic & dumps some visualizations in to make you feel as if you're participating in something grand. It's wicca 101 with a (barely) Celtic slant. Bland.

Summary: Not just for women!
Review: This book is very useful and informative about Celtic and Women-centered spirituality in general. Men might be turned off of this book because of the title, but then you are missing a great piece of work! Easy to read, quite digestable information, good content. Highly recommended.

Summary: I would highly reccommend this book!
Review: This book was not only educational about the Celtic woman's way of life, but also explored how this history can change a modern woman's way of life for the better. I think that this book has a lot to offer any woman who is interested in her own spiritual development, whether she is pagan, or just open minded. I found this book to be very inspiring. There are very few books that combine Celtic and woman's spirituality, and I would love to see more. I think Edain McCoy did a fantastic job of exploring this new and exciting topic.

Summary: Celtic Women's Spirituality: Accessing the Cauldron of Life
Review: This book was surprising to me. I am taking a Celtic Spirituality Study Tour through an ecumenical graduate school. This book started out well enough, but turned into a "how to" book on very non-Christian themes. The author guides the reader through steps to awaken the goddess within. And guides them to choose the goddess who they will focus their attention on. The Celt's were a pagan people, but there was nothing glamorous about it. They were also a very violent people, not what we would want to embrace in our current society.

Summary: An inspiring and beautiful book
Review: This book will make you feel empowered as a Womoon! Edain McCoy is one of my favorite Wiccan authors and this is one of her best books.As always, her writing is very readable and is very reassuring to those just starting to read Wiccan books who may still have some misconceptions about the Craft. My understanding of this book is that is her take on Celtic Womyn's Spirituality today and EMPHATHETICALLY NOT INTENDED to be a book on how Celtic Womyn actually MIGHT have practiced their spirituality before the Burning Times! Many of the things are truly lovely and I've used some of her ideas in planning rituals for the Dianic coven I'm a member of.

Summary: Definately Wiccan
Review: This is one of those books that is more about Wicca than about Celtic Spirituality. I have searched for books that would stop pasting Celtic spirit onto the Wiccan dogma and formats. This is not one. The only one I've found so far to fit the bill is Apple Branch. Read that if you are looking to find out what the Reconstructionists are doing and/or visit imbas.org. Apple Branch is where the Celtic spirit rises up on its own and forms a living tradion. BUT if you are basically Wiccan at heart, and there is nothing wrong with that in the least, this is one of the most well constructed WICCAN "reconstructions" of Celtic Sprituality. Not pompous or dry and it gives you a way to fit Celtic spirit onto the forms and format you already know and love. :o) The scholarship is pretty sketchy though, don't let her degree in history make you think she's done real research here.

Summary: Tread carefully here, my sisters...
Review: Three stars for the Triple Goddess only, and NOT for the author! Can I grab Edain McCoy by her collar and shake her a few times? As an academic historian of Ireland and Irish people, I am always appalled at the way some authors toss around the word "Celtic"--as if all of the tribes existed in pure harmony with each other. Edain, you've heard of the Welsh, the Manx, the Bretons, the Scots, the Gallicians? "Celtic" is almost as impossible to define as American. At any rate, it's my thought that the author and publisher thought to take advantage of pliable minds subsceptible to, let's call it, Celtic Faery Magic. Preying on the weak is not a "Celtic" trait. As for McCoy, I wonder that she finds herself authority enough to become the author of--what? Two dozen books, maybe?--on roughly the same subject. Her tradition of Witta, which is supposedly Irish Witchcraft, is pure fantasy. I would recommend that skeptical readers looking for tight information look elsewhere--after all, this book could very well be a flight of fancy too. Cheers.
