Psalter of the Birds revives and makes accessible in presentation and in fresh language, this motherlode of Celtic mysticism, taking us onto the third way, where the whole thing odd may be powerfully mystical. Useful in personal devotion, liturgical settings, and informal gatherings, expect the new and unexpected in these ancient, wise songs as they harmonize the soul and lend a hand us sign up for in at the cosmic music of the spheres. Entering this collection, you’ll find that your heart is gently warmed as you’re invited to take part in a unity that respects boundaries and may be deeper than boundaries, honoring and transcending them and the human condition to lend a hand us taste joy, love, and ongoing communal transformation.”
