Irish Celtic Blessings by Catherine Glackin

Irish Celtic Blessings by Catherine Glackin

Irish Celtic Blessings is a book of ancient Irish Blessings many in the form of prayer or poetry written in both Irish ( Gaelic) and English. The book is beautifully illustrated featuring the original Celtic paintings of artist John Quigley and was researched and written by Shane and Catherine Glackin. Irish Blessings are often of anonymous origin without a known reference to the original source, handed down like Irish folklore was from generation to generation - as part of an oral storytelling tradition remembered word for word. It was believed that blessed were those who neither added or subtracted to these sacred stories . Blessings were often sent as prayers or a talisman to watch over and protect those who emigrated from Ireland possibly never to return. The Blessings illuminate and reflect on all stages of life's journey from birth to death, from best wishes for the future of a newly wedded couple, the birth of a newborn and numerous other ceremonial occasions and events. This book of ancient Celtic prayers and blessings portrays the beauty and majesty of the words and wisdom of the Irish Celtic people.

He is active in international human rights work and his numerous publications include books and articles on human rights, the UN, war and peace, east European law, African law, and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Professor Quigley served as an expert witness on the law of genocide in the first criminal prosecution charging genocide as defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
