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.

A great book for finding ideas for rituals and accurate information on Celtic history and holidays in the context of Celtic cultures and traditions. It's not the be-all and end-all of Celtic ritual but it's a good starting point. It's possible for both Celtic Pagans and Christians to use
Essential for anyone pursuing a Celtic path. One caveat, is that he does tend to lump all Celtic cultures together, it's important to see them as connected, but at the same time probably not appropriate to use all Celtic languages in the same rite!
