  Celtic Callings - Celtic Traditions - Celtic Magic
Celtic worshippers celebrate the same Sabbaths, perform rituals and magic, and have a strong faith in their spirituality, just like any member of the Craft.
Much of the Celtic magic calls for the assistance of their Good Neighbours, with those who were familiar often using the little folks' fairy circles of mushrooms found in fields, rather than casting their own magic circle.
Celtic magic is rooted strongly in the four natural elements: earth, air, fire and water, with many spells and rituals corresponding to at least one of these elements.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Around 700 B.C., it is believed that Celtic peoples and the earliest phases of the European Iron Age emerged from the Urnfield culture; these Celtic peoples have been given a common identity because of shared language and cultural traits, but their political allegiances almost never extended beyond their individual tribes.
If, as may be inferred from sources on Celtic culture generally, the rights to land were ultimately held by the tribe as communal property, then alienability of land was a right resting with the tribe or with a kinship clan of the tribe.
These ancient field formations remind us that, then as now, land was important enough to be the substance of someone's individual stewardship, and that well-regulated relations among landholders will yield the maximum value from the land.

Softly the Celtic River Dance plays over the plush green fields of thy soul, it wisps away all doubt and twinge in a spirit that has been through the stocks of fire.
Hopeful of the words of many but seeking the word of one, traveling that field of buried memory and finding within thyself a sense of feeling, a sense of wonder, one so great that it makes you cry for all of those who came before and the one that came with you.
Take what you can, give what you can, share what you can and it might just be worth it, but always remember the music that plays, for it is the beauty of the end of the story that plays throughout the life that many hold dear and you possess.

 In Flanders Field, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
Although he had been a doctor for years and had served in the South African War, it was impossible to get used to the suffering, the screams, and the blood here, and Major John McCrae had seen and heard enough in his dressing station to last him a lifetime.
As a surgeon attached to the 1st Field Artillery Brigade, Major McCrae, who had joined the McGill faculty in 1900 after graduating from the University of Toronto, had spent seventeen days treating injured men -- Canadians, British, Indians, French, and Germans -- in the Ypres salient.

 CelticChristianTunes.com Album Reviews: Ric Blair
Blair's sounds have always included pop, rock, country, bluegrass, and Celtic influences, but this album is predominatly the latter.
This album sounds as if it is meant to be taken as a whole; though it makes for a smooth hour of listening all the way through, several tracks that fade together will result in some abrupt transitions for iPod-toting "shuffle-the-lot" listeners.
Other tunes go off the Celtic deep end, so to speak, including the traditional instrumentals "Fields of Glentown," "O'Keefe's Slide," and "Taime Im' Choldloch." The remaining lyrical pieces also demonstrate a greater reliance on a Celtic musical heritage.

But it could also be the narrator, who would be telling us about the fields and the birds in the same way as he tells us that he heard a young girl, calling out by a lonely prison wall.
At Celtic, we have a particular identity, with roots in Irish immigration, but we extend that identity to everyone, Protestant or Muslim (or agnostic), European or Asian, it doesn't matter.
In each of these pieces, like in 'The Fields,' although the bird's 'happy lot' contrasts with the singer's misfortune, he transcends any possible envy for its happiness, and this enables the bird to provide him with some form of consolation.
