The Art of Celtic Seership

Caitlin is a world authority on the practice of Celtic spiritual traditions and the author of over 80 books and card decks. The meaning of the word 'seer' implies a depth of vision beyond surface appearances into the invisible, unmanifest world perceived by our inner senses. This constitutes glefiosa, or 'bright knowledge' that was accessible to our cultural ancestors and attuned them to a wider and deeper reality where the language is one of images and metaphors, with which we are all familiar through our dreams. The book is a reminder of what we have lost through overemphasis on left hemisphere thinking, even to the extent of closing down aspects of the humanities so as to focus on STEM subjects required for economic growth. In doing so, we are closing down our own finer and subtler senses, a process that this book seeks to reverse by enabling readers to become better attuned to our instincts, imagination, insight and inspiration – with examples drawn from many historical poet-shamans as well as practices in nature and awareness of what is held within the landscape.
