Dynamic new translation of Arthurs First Quest, a clear revelation of a pivotal British Mystery. The 9th century Welsh poem, Preiddeu Annfwyn, or The Raid on the Underworld, ascribed to the 6th century poet and shaman Taliesin, is one of the oldest and most enigmatic documents relating to the mythic hero Arthur. Just a mere 61 lines, it contains within vital clues to the Celtic Mystery traditions as it describes the descent of Arthur and his men on the ship Prydwen into the region of Annwfn--the in-world or underworld of Celto-British tradition, where Arthur journeys to steal the wonder-working cauldron from the Lord of Annwfn. This poem hides many secrets within its shimmering lines. The cauldron is one of the Thlysau or Treasures, hallowed otherworldly objects that are the source of illimitable power. Arthurs quest for the cauldron of the underworld is a precursor of many more famous quests, while the cauldron itself is the forerunner of the Grail. Accessible to the general reader, yet also supported by deep scholarship

Since it was first published in 1995, this primer on practical, everyday spirituality as practiced through shamanism has become a sought after classic. Now revised and available in paperback for the first time, this attractive edition with line drawings throughout offers a wide audience ways to connect with their own shamanic power. If you feel distanced from nature, trapped in a material society without meaning or purpose, shamanic wisdom can offer you some answers. Caitlin Matthews shows how respect and wonder for nature combined with spiritual joy and healing are the essence of the shaman's holistic, vital world. In Singing the Soul Back Home she leads readers through a structured learning program of more than 80 exercises that will help them master the skills of the shaman. With practice and sensitivity, anyone can become a "walker between the worlds," aware not only of their own physical reality, but also of the subtle spiritual reality of the shaman. Following this path will stimulate your creative energies and make you more aware of your own innate healing powers.

This warm and humorous collection presents much-loved favorites such as "The Princess and the Pea" from Denmark and less familiar figures including "The Mountain Princess" from Persia and "The Horned Snake's Wife" from the Iroquois of North America. Caitlin Matthews's wonderfully dramatic retellings are perfect for reading aloud, while Olwyn Whelan's bright and witty illustrations are a feast in themselves.

Anyone interested in the feminine face of God throughout the ages will find Sophia an illuminating experience. Caitlin Matthews' scholarship connects us to past, present, and future in the very depths of our femininity. - - Marion Woodman, Jungian analyst and author of Bone: Dying into Life. Sophia, or "wisdom" in Greek, has been revered in many forms throughout history - from the Dark Goddess of ancient Anatolia; to her Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, and Cabalistic manifestations; to her currentforms as Mary and the orthodox St. Sophia. In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, Sophia sits with God until the creation. Then she falls into matter and becomes manifest in every atom, permeating all things "like the sparks that run through charcoal," as Matthews says. While God is "out there," the Goddess is "in here" - the mother-wit of practical inspiration and compassion at the heart's core. This definitive work comprehensively establishes a realistic Goddess theology for Westerners in the twenty-first century: grounding spirituality in daily life and the natural world; learning to work playfully and play seriously; ending the gender war to enjoy sacred marriage.

Using poetry, myths, reflections, rituals, and visualizations, Matthews leads you on a yearlong pilgrimage that will help connect the cycles of your soul to the circle of the seasons. From the winter months of Samhain the summer months of Beltant, from mediations on the gifts and blessings of life to the insights and promises of the soul, she enables you to complete your own sacred circuit of the turning year. Brimming with the legends and lore of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Britain, The Celtic Spirit is a brilliant introduction to the sacred wisdom of the Celtic path--and a potent resource for daily spiritual renewal.
