Ossian, on his way to Tir-nan-og, saw a hornless fawn bounding nimbly along the wave-crests pursued by a white hound with red ears. The Wild Huntsman and his dogs of Teutonic myth belong to the same category; and these dogs of Annwn were similarly said to rush through the air, and evil was the omen.-from "Welsh and Gaelic Elysium"Stonehenge remains one of the most visited tourist destinations in Britain. Legendary figures such as King Arthur continue to fascinate us. The influence of Celtic mythology on popular culture is undeniable, and this collection of essays-first published in book form in 1917, and written by one of the most prominent Celtic folklorists of his time-remains an important introduction to the historical basis for a mythos that still grips the imagination today. From fantastical ideals of beauty-in Ireland it was said that "goddesses with hair like gold" lived in "the summer isles of the West"-to the adventures of intrepid Celtic heroes to their connection with the mythic traditions of Europe and Asia, students of fantasy and folklore will find this an invaluable resource.Scottish scholar and writer ALEXANDER MACBAIN (1855-1907) served as editor of Celtic Magazine and Highland Monthly. His Etymological Gaelic Dictionary (1896) is recognized as his crowning achievement.

Circles and the Cross is an invitation to explore two mysteries. One is the miracle of the cosmos: why is there something and not nothing? The other is the miracle of consciousness: why should this collection of stardust be an I and not just an it? Our basic response to those mysteries is wonder, and from wonder have grown the three great trees of human culture: religion, art, and science. This exploration is undertaken in the light of a third mystery: the cross of Christ is the clearest picture we have of the triune Creator of both cosmos and consciousness. That self-emptying of the Creator out of love for the creation helps us understand the pleasures, paradoxes, and pains of science; it helps us understand how “evolution” can be another name for creation; it casts light on the Enlightenment and Romanticism. In particular, it illuminates the environmental movement: an ethic in search of a religion. Loren Wilkinson, drawing on fifty years of teaching and writing about our relationship to creation, invites you to join this journey into understanding how the cross of Christ sheds light on the mysteries that surround us—and gives us hope in a difficult age.
