   Previously published as “Glamoury”, this book is a surprising publication since it comes from Llywelyn (who does not have a stellar reputation in regards to scholarship). As well as lore and history, Blamires presents some wonderful visualization exercise which are downright shamanic. There is a good overview of some of the beings you may meet in the Otherworld though I feel he is too cautious in recommending that you not work with some of them (I believe you can be prepared to face anything as long as you have acquainted yourself with your own Shadow Self) . The somewhat hermetic rituals are also group focused and will take a little time for deconstruction for the dedicated solitary. However, I believe this book is an important entry into Celtic magic and shamanistic practice.

   This, I believe, is the fourth book by Steve Blamires on the Celtic magical path. It follows the same sound premise of previous books of his that the magical practices are reflected in the ancient legends. Because Blamires is being published by Llewellyn, his books have taken on a format different from his first book, “The Irish Celtic Magical Tradition.” I think Llewellyn gets a bit too much in the way of their authors. Hopefully, they will change their editorial staff. Be that as it may, I believe there are few people who have so clear a view of the Celtic magical tradition as Blamires. The exercises in this book are good for self-exploration. One of the most interesting things about the Celtic spiritual, or magical, path is how well it lends itself to inner-work. I suppose this is because of the richness of its archetypal content. Anyone interested in magic, Wicca, Druidry, Celtica, and depth psychology will find this book worth owning.
