Customer Reviews

The artwork is intriguing

I don't know why this is called a lunar zodiac when it looks completely like a solar zodiac. The most interesting thing I found out about in this book is that the letters in the celtic alphabet are named after trees. Since the druids passed everything along orally, prohibited anything being written, and told their knowledge only to other druids, just exactly how do you find out anything about druid teachings? The book isn't such a scholarly book. It appeals more to a popular audience. The author references "The White Goddess" by Robert Graves which seems to be her main source.

The pictures are beautiful

This book is full of beautiful pictures which I would buy the book just for that reason alone. It also has alot of interesting Celtic information. Recommended.

Fantastic illustrations, fascinating text

The illustrations are breathtaking- I want framed copies of them all! The text is well thought out and the concept of the lunar zodiac is expounded with great clarity. There is something here that will interest everyone into Celtic lore.

Beautiful Coffee Table book!

This books is chocked full of information and correspondences on the Celtic and Greek level for each lunar tree. I ignore the astrology part because that really isn't the meat of the book for me. The author has done an excellent job of coordinating the legends for an understanding of the myth around the particular tree. Why do I say its an excellent coffee table book, the illustrations are excellent. This is a lovely produced book and an excellent gift for people interested in the subject area.

An excellent compliment to traditional astrology

If you're tired of the same old boring astrology books, Helena Paterson puts a new spin on things with her Celtic astrology resources. I have found that her system compliments my personality more than traditional astrology, and her celtic moon sign kit (another product of hers) makes casting your chart that much easier. Not for everone, but I certainly enjoyed it.

An Excellent read, very powerful!

This book is a very close consise read of human beings. I know of no one who has read this book and not been able to see themselves in the words of the book. If you are curious or deep into the Celtic druids then this book is good to read!
