PORTAL OF THE KELTIC GODS - excerpts from Part 1 of this now out of print work.
A TAXONOMY of the Keltic Deities and their interface with the human organism - meeting and understanding the strata of Goddesses and Gods. This is a short thesis of c. 17,000 words which analyses the anatomy of these telesmatic images and their etymology. (An essential background, as is the Fourth Branch of The Mabinogion.)
FOURTH BRANCH of The Mabinogion - further glimpses into the Mabinogi of Math.
EXCERPTS from the elementary philosophy of this Keltic system which will explain some of the practical approaches.
D.I.Y. METAPHYSICS - a purge of intellectualism.
PSYCHODRAMAS - an explanation.
THE
LUMINOUS DARK MOTHER - an excellent exposition by Leslie McIntyre
examining the origins and incidences of the worship of the Great Goddess
and the profound loss to the human psyche by the adoption of patriarchy.
A "must read".
PATRIARCHY - a brief appraisal of its obsolescence.
FAQ - a number of answers given in the course of an interview for a New Age publication.

THE REDE - It was suggested by another Welsh family that I revise what is known as 'The Rede' to make it conform to Keltic symbolism. Although this rede or law finds no place in our system whatsoever, I have indulged my friends, revising the couplets and grouping them in a more coherent manner. It was an interesting exercise!
COMPARISON - between Keltic religion and Wicca. I was asked recently by a few interested readers to replace this essay which was written in 1998 in answer to the question: "Did Old Gerald not base his Wicca on Keltic lore?"
LETTER FROM AUSTRALIA - we in Britain perhaps take our heritage a little for granted and do not understand the problems that face a Kelt in the new countries. This essay from Kyr in Australia has been a great insight to us and for which were are indeed very very grateful! I stress that this is essential reading for all in former colonial lands as it reveals some solid practical advice.

my observations on the subject. (Without having studied Classics,
I may add!)
