A Simon & Schuster eBook. Simon & Schuster has a great book for every reader.

By the renowned Celtic and shamanic expert Caitlin Matthews, this is the only oracle that uses the archetypes of the Celtic world to connect us to our ancestors, allowing us to consult them for guidance and insight, and to respond to their questions to clarify our thinking. "Caitlin Matthews' wisdom comes from a deep place of clarity nurtured by a lifelong dedication to the spiritual and ancestral paths ... she reveals the ways in which we all can find our own truths grounded in the ancestors, both tribal/cultural and personal." - Rachel Pollack, author of Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom and Godmother Night With an 88pp guidebook and 40 cards (beautifully illustrated by Wil Kinghan) embodying archetypes of the Celtic world, this fantastic interactive oracle offers a way of consulting and communicating with our ancestors, whatever our race or culture. Two sets of cards make up the Oracle- 1. Divine Ancestor Cards- these eight cards represent the ancestors from whom everyone is descended - the matriarch (goddess) and patriarch (god) archetypes. 2. Clan Cards- these 32 cards represent the circle of Common Ancestors, who hold a huge collective of wisdom. There are four clans- Truth, Honour, Sovereignty and Wisdom, each one based on a category of Celtic society (farmers, warriors, nobles and artists/craftspeople). Draw a single card for immediate guidance, or do spreads of three to eight cards for a more in-depth reading (these are detailed in the guidebook). The oracle given by the Clan Cards helps you make decisions, navigate challenging situations and follow your highest path, while questions posed by the Divine Ancestors question your attitude to the issue you're asking about and help you understand your own deeper motives. These ancestor cards are also perfect for approaching problems within a family or social group, including those passed down from recent ancestors as well as those generated in the current era.

"Overall, this is an interesting tarot, offering some insights that are both traditional and novel in their take on how we may find wisdom in the technology we surround ourselves with. --Taroflexions"

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.
