Critics Review
“The Mabinogion is one of the great treasure troves of our Western spiritual heritage, but to truly appreciate and learn from it we need a guide who can elucidate not only its mythology, context, and history, but also its spiritual depths. Caitlín Matthews expertly leads us into the heart of these Mysteries.” * Philip Carr-Gomm, Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids and author of Druidcraft and Druid *
“I have found Mabon and the Guardians of Celtic Britain to be essential reading. Matthews makes valuable connections between myth and enduring cultural practices. No other study takes the reader through the Mabinogion more masterfully. This book is an indispensable guide to indigenous Celtic literature and myth.” * Ari Berk, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Mythology and Folklore, Central Michigan University *
“Recommended for libraries that support strong folk studies collections.” * Katherine Kaigler-Koenig, Library Journal, September 1, 2002 *
