TALIESIN: The Last Celtic Shaman (reissue)
by Matthews, John
ISBN: 0892818697
Publisher: Inner Traditions
Taliesin, Chief Bard of Britain and Celtic shaman, lived in Wales in the late 6th century. His verse is said to be the precursor to the Arthurian legends, and Taliesin himself the direct forebear of Merlin. One of today's preeminent Celtic scholars, with the help of his equally eminent wife, presents completely new translations of Taliesin's major poems in their entirety, uncovering their secret bardic and druidic meanings for the first time.
