The Living Celtic Spiritual Tradition
The early Celtic Spiritual Tradition was rooted deep in the land, in a time and culture where Nature was seen not as a fallen state from which we needed to escape, but as a part of Divinity.
When Christianity first came to the British Isles, it was recognised as having a distinctly Celtic flavour. It was characterised by a continued reverence for Nature as the face of the Divine. The One God spoke simply in the solitudes of wind and woodland, sea-wave and mountaintop... and for centuries, the old Gods and Goddesses – the many faces of The One - continued to have a place in the hearts and holy days of the people.
The Living Celtic Spiritual Tradition contains the best of the earlier mystery tradition of Druidism, an intimate, immanent relationship with the Divine and a deep faith in the transformative power of Love, all leading toward Christ-consciousness. It honours the Earth as Divine Manifestation, the Mother of mystical experience, the hollow of God’s hand. Its priests are called Céile Dé - The Companions, or Spouses, of God.
The teaching of Céile Dé is for those who truly wish to work towards transformation. It is an inner journey - a quest through the mythic Otherworld of our own psyche - to the very centre of ourselves; the Celtic Heaven - Tir nan Og. This “Land of Eternal Youth” is seen not so much as a place, but as a state of being. Once we live from there, we discover that Heaven is here - we reunite Above and Below into a new Sacred Whole.
When Mother Earth and Father Spirit unite in us, our heart becomes the womb for the Divine Child... The Incarnation... The Christ...
