Queen of the Night: Rediscovering the Celtic Moon Goddess (ISBN 1578632846)

What is Celtic about it?:
General overview of the Moon in various cultures. While it briefly touches on Celtic culture, I don't know why it's being marketed as Celtic, as there is very little Celtic information here. If you're looking for a general moon book, you may like this, but if you're looking for Celtic moon lore you'd be better off buying The Carmina Gadelica and The Gaelic Otherworld, then you'd have every bit of info the author mentions in here, and more.

Lies, Dang Lies & Statistics:
The back cover states that the moon has been associated w/the Goddess since earliest times. This is nonsense, of course. Although the author claims to have studied Celtic languages at Harvard, they somehow neglect to note the FACT that the Sun is feminine in Celtic languages & the Moon is masculine. That's enough for me to realize that this book's a waste of time, trees & money.

Queen of the Night rules!:
I am been studying the Celtic spirituality, and wanted more information about their Moon Goddess. This book is a "must have" for those serious in finding addtional information that is found no where else. Loved this Book, highly recommend it to those wanting & searching for the eternal Mistress of the Night, the Celtic Moon Goddess.

One of the most important books for Pagans in years:
With all the dull/dumb Wicca 101, Druid 101, Fairy Shaman Dolphin Crystal Child 101 books out there saying all the same things (if you have a solid background in Western Magical Trad, some basic Eastern practice, and varieties of shamanism) - yay, wow, thank you Goddess! It's written by a SCHOLAR, yes someone who STUDIED the topic beyond tossing together last year's 101 books and adding some "personal gnosis". She is an actual professor in Ireland and she's a Pagan. She is writing this book for her colleuges, but adding exercises that are amazing at the end each chapter for the Pagans. It's not dumbed down in any way which is so refreshing. She expects that the reader is smart, wants facts, and cares about integrity. PLEASE WRITE MORE BOOKS! The fact that it's never clearly understood just what the Celts had for a moon Goddess was irrelevant - she offered details about the Celtic calender that make a lot of sense, great Indian information that clicked in wonderfully for anyone who has done their Indo-European studies, and millions of other details. This book is worth 100 of the same old same old books being passed off as new. Most Pagan writers have no scholarly experience and can't write a footnote to save their lives - BUY THIS BOOK!

Beautiful and Inspiring:
Simply, this is one of the best publications on the subject. Thank you
