Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohue
4.0
Anam Cara means "soul-friend" in Gaelic. The term originated in Irish monasticism.
This book is a treasury of Celtic spirituality and poetry. John O'Donoghue takes us through the mysteries of soul friendship, the spirituality of the senses, the virtues of solitude, through old age, and finally to death as an invitation to freedom. It is rife with stories in the Celtic tradition.
I found this book to be a fascinating look at ancient spirituality. I think most of the ideas are universal and just as relevant today as they were back then.
