«Palabras Celtas» is a collection of Celtic texts prepared by Jean Markale, published by Ediciones B in paperback (50 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together a series of words, invocations and reflections from the Celtic world, chosen by Jean Markale. It presents language as a vehicle of collective memory and approaches its rituals, beliefs and ways of life. It also underlines the link with nature and a spirituality tied to the passing of the day.
The French original «Paroles Celtes» was first published in 1996.
For readers interested in the philosophy, spirituality and traditions of the Celtic world.
Jean Markale was the pen name of Jean Bertrand, a French historian, writer, poet, radio show host, lecturer and high school French teacher who lived in Brittany.
