Book Synopsis The Turning of the Year by : Eithne Massey
Download or read book The Turning of the Year written by Eithne Massey and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the hugely successful book Legendary Ireland, The Turning of the Year explores the Celtic division of the year, from Samhain to Imbolc, to Bealtaine, to Lunasa, back to Samhain. It examines the significance of particular times of the year and features re-tellings of various legends associated with them. The book will look at the close connection of the Irish with the land and with nature, bringing us on an exhilarating journey through the Irish seasons and the customs that welcomed each one in turn. Along the way we encounter saints, scholars, kings and goddesses, whose stories, preserved in myth and folktale, counterpoint the book's exploration both of lost traditions such as keening and how other customs and rituals have been preserved in today's celebrations and communal events. It brings to the reader a new awareness of how such ritual can still have relevance in our lives, and a deeper appreciation of the power of the natural world.

Book excerpt: In ancient Ireland there were 365 different parts to the body, and a different plant to cure each part.

Here plants are described in seasonal order, a perspective dating back to our ancestors.
