Synopsis

Enter the shadowed roads of Celtic death belief, where the dead were never truly gone and the Otherworld waited just beyond the firelight. The Celtic Book of the Dead explores the haunting folklore, ritual customs, and ancestral beliefs that shaped how Celtic cultures understood death, mourning, spirits, omens, and the journey beyond life. From the Irish wake to the cry of the banshee, from corpse roads and funeral charms to the western sea and the hidden realm of the Otherworld, this book gathers the old traditions into one powerful study of death and memory in Celtic belief. Inside, you will discover:The meaning of death omens in Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Breton folklore The wake, keening, and the sacred duties of mourning Banshees, ancestral spirits, fairy warnings, and supernatural death messengers Spirit roads, corpse paths, thresholds, graveyards, and haunted landscapes The Celtic Otherworld, including Tír na nÓg, Tech Duinn, Annwn, and the western lands of the dead Funeral customs, protective rites, household beliefs, and the old fear of restless souls The survival of ancient death traditions through Christian practice, folklore collecting, and living memory This is a book for readers drawn to Celtic folklore, old Irish and Scottish beliefs, pagan spirituality, ancestral memory, death customs, supernatural traditions, and the hidden places where myth and history meet. Dark, atmospheric, and deeply rooted in folklore, The Celtic Book of the Dead opens the door to a world where mourning was ritual, the dead still listened, and every road into the mist might lead somewhere older than life itself.
