Harp, Club, and Cauldron - A Harvest of Knowledge: A Curated Anthology of Scholarship, Lore, and Creative Writings on the Dagda in Irish Tradition, Paperback

He is a king, a druid, a war chieftain, a lover, and a worker of the land. He nourishes and he kills, he loves and he fights, in equal measure. He knows the sorcerous arts of druidry and the secrets of time. He is the Dagda - the mightiest of all the Irish Gods, and yet he is often overlooked in popular approaches to the Irish Gods. This book distills the scholarship, experience, and creative vision of the Irish and Celtic spirituality communities to bring you a harvest of knowledge featuring: -- Works of original scholarship on the Dagda, his role in literature culture, and myth, and related divinities. -- Translated early Irish textual material with commentary. -- Tools for the practitioner including prayers, rituals, recipes. -- Insightful experiential writings from priests and practitioners. -- Curated original creative writings. -- Original artwork and illustrations.No one reading this book will come away unsatisfied...
