She covers all aspects of the gods, ritual customs, cult~objects and sacred places of the ancient Celtic peoples. Her book assumes no prior knowledge of the subject on the part of the reader and, as such, uses no technical language that is not fully explained. At the same time it presents an up~to~date overview of our evidence for Celtic religions, beliefs and practices using modern scholarship to describe an obscure and elusive, but fascinating, branch of study of the European past. Part of its value lies in the fact that it sets out to provide, for the first time, an English language account of pagan Celtic religion from about 500 BC to AD 400 embracing the whole of the Celtic world from Ireland to Austria. The Gods of the Celts is composed of the following themes: the first chapter introduces the Celts, describes the geographical and chronological scope of the book and examines the nature of the evidence. There follow chapters covering the various cults of sun and sky, mother~goddesses and fertility, war, death, and the underworld. This is followed by sections examining water gods and healers, animals and animism, and finally symbolism and imagery. Miranda Green's book is beautiful, fascinating and important and will be essential reading for the specialist and non~specialist alike.
