Celtic Devotional: Daily Prayers and Blessings

Caitlin Matthews

ISBN: 1-84181-197-1

A beautifully produced prayer book with subjects for morning and evening reflection each day (*Solar Questions* and *Lunar Meditations*). It is fairly universal in avoiding details specific to any one religion, combining Celtic folk belief with Celtic Christianity. The book is divided into five parts: four seasonal sections with prayers, questions, greetings and farewells, and a final miscellaneous section that is interesting in its own way. The same morning and evening prayers recur each week through a season; a month’s worth of solar questions and lunar meditations is repeated three times. That makes for some repetition, but it can be interesting to record and compare your answers. Not for everyone, perhaps, but a pleasant book for those who enjoy prayer and reflection. Examples of the Solar Questions include “Who are you trying to control?”, “What do you need to let go of and how is it impeding you?”, and “Is your envy of others obstructing your own achievements?” Lunar Meditations include “The things that inspire you”, “The promise of horizons”, and “The blessing of fire”.
