Description

Originally published in 1998 as The Apple Branch: A Path to Celtic Ritual, the book has recently been reissued with this new title, new ISBN, and new, lower price. The book suggests guidelines for the establishment and running of Celtic ritual circles. An outstanding feature is the actual formula of words given for each of the Celtic rituals and visualization sequences.
