Finished this two days ago and totally forgot to post my review after reviewing on Apple Books.

A good starting point, with a wonderful “Bibliography and Further Reading” section to keep going. Not quite what I was expecting, but still informative and helpful. If nothing else, this book has encouraged me to continue studying the Irish language.

I wonder if this is why I far prefer Shakespeare‘s tragedies to his comedies? Some sort of genetic predisposition to wanting fictional characters to die by the end. I have said that during some of the comedies. “I don‘t like any of these characters. I hope they all die at the end.” 😂🤣😂

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I think we‘re all going stir crazy!!! Although, I don‘t understand these people just saying “yeah, we didn‘t need to social distance, the lord will save us...oh and give the church your whole stimulus check.” 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤬 I just can‘t even. I want to smack these idiots. You‘re acting like fools and the rest of us are losing our bloody minds. 4y
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics thousands of protestors here carrying nazi flags and trump 2020 flags to open the state no stay at home necessary.... covid19 it‘s fake news ...the alt right religious joined them ...🤦🏽‍♀️ 4y
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie that‘s right, I heard about that on the news. They are NUTS!!! Covid 19 may have neurological side effects that we don‘t know about because it‘s so new (there is reason to believe kids are going to have those symptoms more than anything else). The lung damage can take up to 20 years to repair. Oh yeah. No big deal. 🙄 Science denying 🤬🤬! 4y

This isn‘t actually from the book, but from a related article on her website about Celtic ethics. Could the Republican Party please read this?! At least the highlighted portions? I know they‘re very busy repressing minorities and women.

GingerAntics @Graywacke @CarolynM in our now ongoing discussion of individualism and community, I think sums up what we were talking about with the last post. Both can coexist and MUST coexist for people to thrive. 4y
CarolynM Yes 4y
GingerAntics @CarolynM although, I should probably be careful telling them this. They could easily use it to continue oppressing people. I thought the “debating what constitutes a lie” was very timely. 4y

This MAY be the book I‘ve been looking for. I was far more convinced off that before I read the preface. If nothing else, perhaps it will be a starting point for coming up with my own definitions.
I‘m still not sure I‘m down with the term “pagan” as it is a Christian term (and proof of the militant nature of Christianity), but I suppose that‘s part of others definitions.
