ARC NETGALLEY REVIEW
This was such a pleasant surprise to read, Highly recommend this book, it’s been a while since I came across one with such substantial and validation, it was clear the author knew her stuff, and didn’t miss a beat. I learned more from this small exceptional book then I have from countless others. Definitely a bookshelf buy!

I thoroughly enjoyed this overview of celts and the history of where they derived.
Mixed in with blessings, recipes and how to’s for protection sigils etc. All the basic Druid necessities are all here.
Through ancestry testing I have found the probability that I have a Celtic lineage, which makes this hit in a different way. This book will definitely lead to further reading on the topic

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me an arc in exchange for an honest review!
"Celtic Mysticism" is a great introduction for anyone searching to know more about the Celts and their ways of living and how it is still reflected and in practice today. I personally didn't know much about the Celts before reading this book (only very basic generalizations) and reading it gave a big insight into their social structure, ways of living, old stories, religion and practices.
The author's writing is captiving and flows easily, all the while weaving a very interesting string between old stories and practices of the Celts (specially the Druids) and symbols we can still see today. Tracie Long presents us to a variety of tales, gods and spells, all the while connecting the dots with the modern world. There are also some special pages in between, about simple spells you can do, prayers or jewelry with Celtic symbolism.
There's also an emphasis on nature and how important it is to respect it, nurture it and learn from it, with a special light towards tree. This is something I personally enjoyed and will try to apply more often.
Overall, this is a perfect pick for beginners trying to understand or research Celtic customs and tales.

An absolutely wonderful introductory book! The illustrations and layout of this book is beautiful and there is a lovely balance of information within. If you are wanting to learn a little more about Celtic traditions and Druidism, or just generally feeling more spiritually connected with nature then this book is absolutely for you.
