St. Patrick heard the voice of the Irish calling to him, saying, "Come holy boy and walk amongst us again." May we also hear Celtic voices both past and present—the ancient lives, the immigrant ancestors, the modern day wayfarers—and learn from their stories.

What's on my shelf
Well,
I couldn't possibly list everything, but here are a few books I'm using right now as I work on my novel-in-progress.
A Social History of Ancient Ireland by P.W. Joyce (two volumes)
Early Medieval Ireland, 400-1200 by Daibhi O Croinin
Medicinal Plants in Folk Tradition by David E. Allen & Gabrielle Hatfield
Native Trees & Forests of Ireland by David Hickie
Celtic Women, Women in Celtic Society and Literature by Peter Berresford Ellis
That's just a drop in the bucket. I'll share more later. I'm awaiting a book I recently ordered too called The Encyclopedia of Irish Spirituality. I looked at it in the library and found a copy on Amazon for $2.
If you have any resources on ancient Ireland, please share them!
