A quintessential gathering of the myths, superstitions, folklore, prayers, hymns and magic of the Scots Gaelic people. Without Alexander Carmichael's research and travels much of this lore would have been long since lost and forgotten He did a great service in perserving their culture and managed to convey it in a very unbiased manner. ( ) Prayers, cures, blessings, cursings, spells..... (although Christian ones). The strength and truth of this approach lies in its awareness of the holiness of everyday life. There's no false separation of sacred and secular, everything is of God. An inclusive, not exclusive way. I bought my copy on Iona. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieCarmina Gadelica (compilation) Contient
TheCarmina Gadelica is the most comprehensive collection of poems and prayers from the Gaelic tradition of oral poetry. Gathered by Alexander Carmichael, in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, 'from Arran to Caithness, from Perth to St. Kilda'. The poems had been handed down through the generations in a living oral tradition. This tradition and the way of life which sustained it have now disappeared but these poems and prayers live on to remind us of the faith of the unknown poets who composed them. Previously only available as a bilingual text in six volumes, this one-volume edition in English only is an important contribution to the wider awareness of Celtic literature. John MacInnes' introduction puts the poems in the context of the life and folklore of the Gaelic community. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
