Sir Andrew Siddle,Property and land law specialist - Rated 5/5
I was delighted with my copy of this book by Alexander Carmichael.It is now one of my most prized books. I can imagine Alexander wandering around the Scottish territories collecting all of this Celtic cultural treasure,whilst doing his official job, with ease.

If you are expecting a modern Christian book of verse then don't buy Ortha nan Gaidheal (Carmina Gadelica in Roman Latin) ever!

This book shows old poems and incantations from the old Brahmanist worship of Danu,of the waters,and Seth of Egypt through to Christian saints.The book is the whole history of Scottish Pict traditions in Scottish Alba. From the worship of Danu through to the conversion to Christianity. The whole history is contained within mystic poems,2,000 year old spells, and incantations including those from Christianty.

This book shows the whole of Celtic Culture, within it's poems, prayers, and incantations,from origins in Egypt and Scythia through to an eventual new home in Scottish Alba.

A work of art for anybody who likes the Celtic Culture of the original British. Anybody who is not of this culture would hate every single word that is printed.


A rare glimpse of the old Celtic Church lyricism. - Rated 5/5
The earliest traditions of the Celtic Church are oral and intimately acquainted with the exquisite everyday beauty of Earth. This expression is captured in a treasury of song lyrics that is Alexander Carmichael's Carmina Gadelica. In 1900 under this title, he published his first collection of hymns heard while he travelled the highlands and islands of Scotland. Regretting he was unable to aurally record what he heard, he writes that the Hebridian hymn music "...had a distinct individuality, in some respects resembling and in many respects differing from the old Gregorian chants of the Church...[a] peculiar and beautiful music." This book contains his original treasury of hymn words in the Gaelic language with a side-by-side English translation. It ably captures what we nowadays think of as Earth Song yet is a fresh vibrant sound of creation from the earliest British Church. A second volume containing more lyrics was published in 1941 and is combined in this edition. Carmina Gadelica is a rare glimpse of the old Celtic Church's lyricism.
