Welcome to Céile Dé
The Order of Céili Dé - or Culdees - (The servants, or Spouses of God)…
… expresses the oldest continuous spiritual tradition of the Celtic countries.
The path of the Céile Dé is and always has been toward a search for the Ultimate Reality - Union with the Divine. Rooted in an authentic Gaelic Spiritual form, it has a deep reverence for our Mother Earth and all Her children… Branching into Christ-consciousness, it fulfils itself in Unconditional love.
The spiritual life of a Céile Dé is largely contemplative and nurtures a deep and devotional relationship with that Great Mystery we call God – the Invisible Beloved Whose Face is Everywhere…
It holds Christ-consciousness as the highest human aspiration.
It also involves a development of the imaginal faculties through creative study of Celtic mythology, the “Old Testament” of the Gael.
It encourages an integration of all of the above with everyday life. Through this work, we kindle within ourselves a sincere and passionate desire to awaken from the unconsciousness and powerlessness that causes - at best - our gnawing discontent - at worst - the gradual destruction of our world.
The following pages represent a glimpse into our tradition, our past and our teachings. After you have studied all that we have offered on these pages by way of introduction, we invite any of you who are both able and interested in beginning a wholehearted and dedicated spiritual journey within a living Celtic tradition to contact us.
