Download or read book The Dagda's Harp written by Sharan Newman and published by Diversion Books. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharan Newman’s acclaimed first novel, The Dagda’s Harp, written for young adults, is a fresh and beautiful interpretation of the classic Irish myth. Upon its publication in 1976, the Philadelphia Children’s Reading Round Table selected it as its Book of the Month. This is the story of Michael, a young Druid apprentice and his quest for a lost harp which will save his homeland, Ierne, from conquest by the evil Formorians. Michael’s childhood friend, Shana, is of the immortal race of Tuatha, sworn enemies of the Formorians. They are guided by Broga, a tiny, pipe playing Lipricanni, to a strange and mysterious lake where they meet the boastful centurion, Colinus. At the home of Michael’s warrior father, they meet Patrik, an educated Christian slave, who will help them look for the harp. They encounter many strange enchantments on their journey, including the fearsome Maebdh, queen of the Formorians and Michael’s stepmother. But it is at the great battle of Magh Tuiregh that the group discovers the true power of the Dagda’s Harp and the heroism that is necessary for good to triumph over evil. PRAISE: “The Author has created her lusty romance on ancient Irish legends. It’s an artful evocation of times when magic-benign and baneful- was taken for granted. The lad Michael is a reluctant druid apprentice. But he’s urged into derring-do when the plight of Shana and her mother are revealed to him. They had been taken in by Michael’s people by order of the chief Druid, Proinsas, when they had fled from the wicked Formorians. Proisnas now asks for Michael’s help, a quest for Shana’s uncle and the mysterious, supernatural harp of Dagda, ruler of the underworld. The young man literally goes through fire to save his people and his honor. It would be hard to find a more pleasurable way to spend a couple of hours than in the company of the romantic characters celebrated in Sharan Newman’s story. (12 and up)” —Publishers Weekly “Her well planned structure, fully drawn characters and suspenseful narrative become a colorful cornucopia bursting with the unpicked fruit of Gaelic mythology…Ms. Newman’s story can be enjoyed equally by parents and their young alike, especially if they are of Irish descent and want to understand Ireland’s cultural legacy. This book really excited me.” —Eleanor Eby, The Philadelphia Inquirer “Newman has faceted a well paced story with more dialogue, which will appeal to children not as versed in the fantasy realms.” —Booklist

Download or read book A GOOD ACTION - A Celtic Legend of the Dagda written by Anon E Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 57 In Issue 57 of the Baba Indaba Children's Stories, Baba Indaba narrates the Celtic legend of A Good Action. The Dagda sat with his back to an oak tree. He looked like a workman, and his hands were as hard as the hands of a mason, but his hair was braided like the hair of a king. He had on a green cloak with nine capes, and along the border of every cape there was a running pattern embroidered in gold and silver and purple thread. Opposite the Dagda sat his son, Angus Og, with his hands clasped about his knees. He was in rags, and his hair was matted like the hair of a beggar: a bramble had scratched his nose, but his eyes were smiling…..and so begins the legend of the Dagda and the Great Harp. This issue also has a "Where in the World - Look it Up" section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story, on map. HINT - use Google maps. INCLUDES LINKS TO 8 FREE DOWNLOADS Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories". It is believed that folklore and tales are believed to have originated in India and made their way overland along the Silk and Spice routes and through Central Asia before arriving in Europe. Even so, this does not cover all folklore from all four corners of the world. Indeed folklore, legends and myths from Africa, Australia, Polynesia, and some from Asia too, are altogether quite different and seem to have originated on the whole from separate reservoirs of lore, legend and culture.

Book Synopsis Besom, Stang & Sword by : Christopher Orapello
Download or read book Besom, Stang & Sword written by Christopher Orapello and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing this authentic, traditional spiritual practice to light in modern context. Regional traditional witchcraft is an animistic form of witchcraft that moves away from the religious harvest festivals and fertility-minded practices associated with the more common Wiccan form of witchcraft. Very few of us in this age are farmers or dependent upon crops and harvests. Regional traditional witchcraft teaches people to find their craft in their own backyards, in the uncultivated land or urban cityscape alike, and in their ancestors rather than in ancient foreign deities or in a neopagan-styled religious form of witchcraft. It's not about where you're from but where you are. The material in this book is adaptable to any region in which the practitioner lives. Although the lack of deity worship and holy days is a significant part of the authors' nonreligious approach, this book presents a complete system of practice utilizing ritual, chant, trance, the six paths of witchcraft as defined and explained by the text, and the practices associated with traditional witchcraft.
Book Synopsis The Return of Felimid mac Fal by Keith Taylor by : Keith Taylor
Download or read book The Return of Felimid mac Fal by Keith Taylor written by Keith Taylor and published by Speaking Volumes. This book was released on with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the tale of one Felimid mac Fal: vagabond, roustabout, poet—and magician! For Felimid is a poet of the old Irish blood: a fully trained bard of Erin. And his is the sort of poetry that can sing shy dryads out of their trees and dragons into slumber and juggle the fixed round of the seasons as a jester juggles knives. A man who saw the bard's pretty face and the harp on his back might think him a simple minstrel. That mistake could cost him his life. But a woman who saw the bard's pretty face might have other ideas...particularly if she is Gudrun Blackhair, the most notorious pirate on the northern sea! "For lovers of magic, history, and/or swashbuckling adventure, [Bard] is an excellent novel about an earthy and genuinely likeable Irish hero."—Science Fiction Review

Book Synopsis Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch by : Lora O'Brien
Download or read book Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch written by Lora O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated and Revised 2nd Edition! Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch is a delightful mixture of academia and accessibility; a book that explores Witchcraft in Ireland: how it was, is, and will be. It succeeds where many books have failed - fulfilling the longing for real Irish Witchcraft, while crafting the delicate balance between learning from the past and weaving a modern system based on truth and respect. Lora O'Brien is an Irish Draoí (user of magic) working closely with her heritage and her native land, providing a contemporary guide to genuine practice. Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch explores the past: -- Providing an investigation of the Witches' place in Irish mythology. -- Looking at Witchcraft and magic by examining the customs connected with the Sidhe (the Irish Fairies). -- Examining historical evidence of the Witch trials that swept across the island of Ireland through the ages. And the present and beyond by: -- Working with Irish Gods and Goddesses, landscapes, and energies. -- Examining the wheel of the year, with its festivals, cycles, and seasons of Irish culture. -- Looking at ritual progression through a Witch's life: magical training, physical growth. -- Providing alternatives to the traditional stages of a child's life in modern Irish culture. When it was released in 2004, this was the first traditionally published Pagan book ever written by an Irish author. It was the book that this author had sought, for over a decade previously... The 2nd edition of this book continues to do now what it did for so many on first publication - it bridges the gap between 'Celtic' NeoPagan nonsense, and authentic Irish Pagan Practice.
