'Speak slowly, think swiftly, act wisely'
'There is no secret that is known by three'
No single book can encompass the wisdom of the Celts. This was a race which loved language, which held the Bard and the Poet to be the equals of Kings. This was also a race without a written language, where the teachings were committed to memory and passed down in an oral tradition which is very much alive today.
The Book of Celtic Wisdom is a collection of that oral tradition. Here are the folktales and legends, poems and proverbs, triads and blessings of the Celtic people, some of which are almost a thousand years old yet are as relevant today as they were at the turn of the First Millennium.
