Taliesin: Shamanism and the Bardic Mysteries in Britain and Ireland

Author: John Matthews

ISBN: 9781855381094

Condition: Used — Original 1991 Aquarian Press Edition

A scarce copy of the out-of-print Celtic spirituality and shamanic classic by highly respected author and Arthurian authority John Matthews. Published in 1991 by The Aquarian Press (the legendary occult imprint of Thorsons/HarperCollins), this book is a deep historical and metaphysical study into the primal Welsh bard, Taliesin. Matthews masterfully explores the ancient roots of poetic inspiration (the “Awen”), prophetic visionary journeys, and the hidden shamanic practices of early British and Irish spirituality.

As a highly collectible original 1991 Aquarian Press softcover, this title is increasingly difficult to secure on the secondary market — an essential addition for serious practitioners and collectors of Arthurian legend, Druidry, and global shamanism.
