This new and completely redesigned edition offers a vivid and evocative insight into the last tribal culture in Europe. Sharkey explores the mysterious beliefs of these ancient people: their gods and monuments, heroic tales and pagan rituals, and the enduring imaginative power of their art and lore. Their epic mythmaking and sinuous art conjure a world of strange transformations and liminal states, moving freely between life and death, light and dark, mortal and divine. The latter part of the book comprises eleven richly illustrated ‘Themes’ sections: illuminating groupings of ancient art that complement the main text.
John Sharkey was an author, artist and researcher into Celtic ancient history, spirituality and archaeology. Among his numerous other books are The Meeting of the Tracks: Rock Art in Ancient Wales and The Medicine
Tree: Traditional Healing in Wales from Prehistory to the Present.
