Coming from Irish heritage myself, I hold a special place in my heart for the divine energy of the Celtic world. This world holds untold treasures for all of us whether we boast Celtic blood in our veins or not. My interest in Celtic Magick was born many years ago when I was travelling through Europe. My connection to the Land of Eire was instant – it was love at first sight. Whist visiting relatives, a great honour was bestowed upon me. I was fortunate to hear a selection of the many myths and legends that have been passed down from generation to generation. The Celts were very spiritual people and valued their beliefs. Hopefully through me you will be able to learn more of these amazing people whom I like to call my ancestors. If anybody would like more information or have any questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me: irishdawn22@hotmail.com Dia dhuit, Aeryn. ************************ THE SACRED THREE-TIMES-THREE All cultures have a number they believe to be sacred. For the Celts that number was three, and all multiples of three. In Celtic Paganism there are two primary configurations which symbolise the sacred three, though there are others. These are the trefoil, shaped like the Irish shamrock; and the inverted triangle, often referred to as the Triangle of Manifestation. In each of the exercises, spells, and rituals mentioned later you will find the number three, or some multiple thereof, featured prominently. In any Celtic rituals you design yourself, you should always add things in threes and multiples of three whenever possible. An example of such would be by adding three candles, the number of times the circle is walked or the number of times an incantation is chanted. Some Celtic traditions believe that you won’t even get your desired results unless three is utilized at some point in the ritual or magick working. CELTIC SACRED ANIMALS “Man is never closer to God than when he bends down to touch an animal in need” – Roary Kennedy Smith. Animals have always had their special place within Paganism. They often act as a bridge between the world of the divine and the mundane world, and, among many Celtic traditions, they are often associated with specific deities.
