Anam, ist das gälische Wort für Seele, Cara heißt Freund. Anam Cara bedeutet nach keltischem Verständnis also "Seelenfreund". Die Kelten hatten eine tiefe Einsicht in das Wesen der Liebe und der Freundschaft, die zwei Menschen auf unzertrennliche Weise verband.
John O'Donohue enthüllt in diesem Buch keltische Geheimnisse, die den Leser in unserer hektischen Zeit in harmonischen Einklang mit der Welt bringen und das Leben reicher machen.
Kurzbeschreibung:
Revealed in accessible and stylish prose, this book uncovers the mystical secrets of the ancient Celtic world - the world discovered by St Patrick in the 5th century AD.
Klappentext:
When St Patrick came to Ireland in the 5th century AD, he encountered the Celtic people and a flourishing spiritual tradition that had already existed for thousands of years. He also discovered that where the Christians worshipped one God, the Celts had many and found divinity all around them: in the rivers, hills, sea and sky. The ancient Celtic reverence for the spirit in all things survives today - a vibrant legacy of mystical wisdom that is unique in the Western world.
Now, in this exquisite book, Irish poet and scholar John O'Donohue shares with us the secrets of this ancient world. Using authentic Irish prayers and blessings, he reveals the treasures that lie hidden within your own soul and the 'secret divinity' in your relationships. As he traces the cycles of life and nature, he draws from the holy waters of Ireland's spiritual heritage to lead you to a place where your heart can be healed and nourished. It is a place where you will discover your own anam cara, your true 'soul friend'.
