| Publisher Description: Many cultures over the world are used to believe that the soul or the spirit never dies. The Celts are not the exception, since they were fierce in battle and did not fear death. It was just the first step for a "journey of transmigrations". And this happened to be in a different world. It is a single place with no shadows but the eternal light. A dimension of constant hope, plenty of adventures and trials to undergo until the triumphal return to the corporeal world. A new dimensional site where the "Underworld" and the "Otherworld" motif mingles as one, and the soul lives out another lifetime. It is pointed out that folk tales are the disguised representation in conscious thought of unconscious, or repressed contents and events. And this symbolic aspect of legends is even reckoned by some scholars of psychology and mythology to be the principal characteristic of sacred expressions. While learning and knowing about spiritual and religious facts, we contribute to maintain and strengthen our relationship with the realm of the sacred or spiritual dimension. These beliefs are reflected not only in the myths and art, but also in the Ogham alphabet. All their hidden meanings appear on each of the letter kennings. On this work, you will learn how intense it is the sense of natural symbolism in Celtic culture. You will get acquainted with some of the myths and motifs that have a spiritual and a symbolic form, or the attribution of symbolic meaning, or a character to something. |
