God under My Roof: Celtic songs and blessings by Esther de WaalISBN: 9781557255167
From birth to death, from dawn to dusk, from the dark of winter to the light of midsummer, for the Celtic peoples praying was part of the pattern of life. The prayers of household and farm and workplace were handed down from generation to generation in oral tradition. At the end of the nineteenth century, linguistic scholar and poet Alexander Carmichael collected and translated prayers from the highlands and islands of Scotland. Esther de Waal has brought together some of the most significant of these poems, blessings, prayers, and songs that enable us to touch the vivid sense of the presence of God that marks Celtic spirituality.
