This volume is a preliminary study of the mission of the Celtic folk-soul by means of legends and myths. This book deals chiefly, as a beginning, with ancient Hibernia and Wales. The Celtic mysteries have a peculiar destiny, in that they contain an impulse of rebirth, not in their own original form, but as the bearers of a light to lighten the way to a renewed, a nobler Christianity, to a revelation of the spiritual origin and destiny of mankind on its journey from the Father, to the Son, at last to the Holy Spirit, who brings together those that are separated.
