Description
A revelatory journey into Ireland’s ancient spiritual soul. Written by Dara Molloy – a former Catholic priest turned Celtic monk and druid who has lived on Inis Mor for more than forty years – the book blends memoir, myth and scholarship to illuminate a vibrant spiritual tradition rooted in nature, community and a worldview far broader than the Christianity that later overshadowed it. He explores Ireland's pre-Christian mythologies, the Brehon Laws and the sacred presence of trees, animals, wells, stones and seasons and also traces the evolution of an Irish Christianity shaped not by conquest but by storytelling - a non-authoritarian, mystical and nature-centred tradition that produced wandering monks, illuminated manuscripts and a cultural flourishing that helped revitalise Europe.
