Essential Celtic Prayers

The early Celts lived in a time and place where nature was ever-present -- in the seasonal harvest and disruptions of it, in the sometimes brutal climate, and in all the gifts from the earth. In their simple rural life, they were surrounded by the cycles of nature: the seasons, lunar months, tides, dawn and dusk. Even in ordinary tasks -- gardening, metalworking, sheep herding, and farm chores -- they felt God's sacred presence all around in the natural world .
