The Magic of the Celts: Destiny and Death

Vampires, demons, harbingers of death. Why did the ancient Celts, the ancestors of the Irish, worship pagan deities? How did faith help them survive? What connects the legendary tribe with our Slavic ancestors? These and many other questions are answered... by one of the most authoritative modern Celtic scholars, professor, Doctor of Philological Sciences Tatiana Mikhailova. The sorcerer-prophet on the path of the Prophet Oleg, terrifying weeping banshees and treacherous half-day creatures, undead and ghouls, witches and hunters of them — all these heroes, in one way or another, influenced the history of world culture. The author proves that the terrifying images and legends created by ancient peoples are not just superstitions, but the roots of human consciousness, without which it is impossible to fully understand the mindset of modern people.
