Product Description
by Ly De Angeles (Author)
The Celtic magic and mysticism, prior to the Roman invasion of Britain, is written in a scholarly but storytelling weaving - a tapestry of history - because this story would not be true otherwise. Many books have attempted to present the paganism of the P/Briteni people and most have failed for one simple reason: the indigenous inhabitants are described in the past tense, alleging that they have long since died out. The brutal invaders, killers and colonisers of what is now known as England, Scotland and Wales have attempted to eradicate the lore, law, customs, language, culture and spirituality of those first people. In many instances rape and assimilation through force would have come close to breeding us out. De Angeles delivers the soul of an ancient and magical people, their valour and humour, the battles they fight to maintain a traditional way of life, and that still live. The author is a direct descendant of Caradoc, one of the heroes in that distant pasts' struggle for self determination.To many reading this it will be the first time they have heard the names of these historic people, let alone celebrate their kinship with them. This could very well be your own family.Forgetting is the sleep of freedom.
