 Amazon.com: The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Where John Matthews' Taliesin and the Shamanic Mysteries of Britian addresses largely a Cymric (Welsh) and British leaning, The Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom is, largely, rooted in the Irish, with some exploration of folk Scots beliefs and expressions of the shamanic (as in the case of the late and well-loved Scottish seer, Eliadh Watt).
After reading this book, I came to realize that the approach the John and Caitlin Matthews is using expresses the spirit of Celtic Spirituality as it presented in sources such as Celtic Heritage by Alwyn and Brinley Rees and The Gods of the Celts by Miranda Green.
I also know from personal conversations with John (including discussing the number of reference volumes in his library) that his scholarhip is thorough and personally done.
