Indigo Crow's Reviews > The Mist-Filled Path: Celtic Wisdom for Exiles, Wanderers, and Seekers

It would appear I'm in the minority with my opinion of this book, but that's how it rolls sometimes.

I don't remember why I wanted to read this anymore. It has SOME things in common with my spiritual studies, but only loosely. Maybe I thought it would align with my own path a little better because it was supposedly Celtic-centered. No...

I found myself skipping large portions of the book because the author kept talking about Christianity and the Christian god, saints, angels, and and other such things. While these might be valid creatures for those hailing from the lands they originated from, I don't think they've got any place in Celtic spiritual practice. They are not only foreign to our gods, spirits, and ancestors, Christianity almost entirely destroyed our old ways and traditions by use of violence and torture. I do not believe you can reconcile Yahweh and his invasion of pagan Europe no matter how you try.

Besides this there's not much else of value. There were tidbits that I thought were good advice or good practices, but overall it's a bunch of UPG with too much Christian influence.

If you're looking for books to study, this isn't one you should bother with. It's not about practicing or teaching so much as it's the rambling "life story" of one guy who makes a lot of claims. I don't recommend this book for those looking for spiritual study material.
