June 25, 2009: A book on Celtic Gods and Goddesses that doesn't skip the details! I love this book, and even being a fast reader, I found this book so amazing, I purposely took my time to slowly go through each chapter and be absorbed by every single tale! I definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in the Celtic pantheon. :)
I Also Recommend: Druid Power, Celtic Myth & Magick.

February 07, 2005: Katherine Hinds and Carl McColman?s book is both delightful and informative. The authors combine several research streams into a succinct yet in-depth profile of their chosen gods and goddesses. The hypotheses that the authors make are clearly pointed out as such. With the gluttony of books in the pagan and new age market, it is refreshing to read a book that uses research and historical documents as its starting point with the authors acting as both scholars and storytellers. The chapter on Cernunnos was one of my favorites and a shinning example of the authors explaining a deity?s occurrences in history and archeology along with hypothesizing possible cross cultural connections. This book is accessible to beginners as well as those who are more advanced in their studies and is a great addition to anyone's library that is interested in mythology.
