The Celtic Wheel of the Year: Celtic and Christian Seasonal Prayers

By Tess Ward

'I really loved this exceptional 285 page book of prayer, it reached deep into my soul and seemed to pull all my carnations into alignment. The format is great, the author follows the calendar year as she takes us through the days of the week, giving us a veritable menu of day and night spiritual prose. I would recommend this profound Godsend to anyone at any level of their spiritual journey. Thanks Tess, for opening these tired eyes just a little bit wider.' Riki Frahmann, Mystic Living Magazine

The Celtic Wheel of the Year offers an original and inspiring selection of prayers for individual use. Divided into monthly sections, it incorporates Celtic Christian and Celtic Pagan traditions in a single pattern of prayer. Prayers combine the Christian seasons with the seasons of the Solstices and Equinoxes. But they also reach beyond both traditions, dancing together and finding a new way of worshipping; one that we can enjoy in private spirituality or as a partaker of established religion.

Inspiring daily resource

I have not only been using this book daily since I got it, but have suggested or gifted it to many other people who are also finding it to be a remarkable resource! The breadth of topics reflected upon in a poetically eloquent and accessible manner makes it an inspiring devotional tool. Its roots are ancient but its material is contemporary. I recommend it most highly.

Celtic Wheel of the Year

Tess Ward has given us a resource for understanding the origins of ancient festivals throughout the year, month by month. They all fit into place when we can see what is happening in different seasons in nature and how they were celebrated. The language is poetic and mystical. Prayers for each day of the week for every month evoke the celtic vision without using specifically Christian language. It is a great book for anyone on a spiritual path!
