Dynamic new translation of Arthurs First Quest, a clear revelation of a pivotal British Mystery. The 9th century Welsh poem, Preiddeu Annfwyn, or The Raid on the Underworld, ascribed to the 6th century poet and shaman Taliesin, is one of the oldest and most enigmatic documents relating to the mythic hero Arthur. Just a mere 61 lines, it contains within vital clues to the Celtic Mystery traditions as it describes the descent of Arthur and his men on the ship Prydwen into the region of Annwfn--the in-world or underworld of Celto-British tradition, where Arthur journeys to steal the wonder-working cauldron from the Lord of Annwfn. This poem hides many secrets within its shimmering lines. The cauldron is one of the Thlysau or Treasures, hallowed otherworldly objects that are the source of illimitable power. Arthurs quest for the cauldron of the underworld is a precursor of many more famous quests, while the cauldron itself is the forerunner of the Grail.

By the renowned Celtic and shamanic expert Caitl n Matthews, this is the only oracle that uses the archetypes of the Celtic world to connect us to our ancestors, allowing us to consult them for guidance and insight, and to respond to their questions to clarify our thinking. With an 88pp guidebook and 40 cards (beautifully illustrated by Wil Kinghan) embodying archetypes of the Celtic world, this fantastic interactive oracle offers a way of consulting and communicating with our ancestors, whatever our race or culture. Two sets of cards make up the Oracle: 1. Divine Ancestor Cards: these eight cards represent the ancestors from whom everyone alive is descended - the matriarch (goddess) and patriarch (god) archetypes whom we all recognise. 2. Clan Cards: these 32 cards represent the circle of Common Ancestors, who stand behind our more recent forebears and hold a huge collective of wisdom. There are four clans: Truth, Honour, Sovereignty and Wisdom, each one based on a category of Celtic society (farmers, warriors, nobles and artists/craftspeople). You can draw cards in different ways: a single card for immediate guidance, or spreads of between three and eight cards for a more in-depth reading (these are covered in detail in the guidebook). The oracle given by each of the Clan Cards enables you to make decisions, navigate challenging situations and follow your highest path, while the questions posed by the Divine Ancestors question your attitude to the issue you''re asking about and help you to understand your own deeper motives. These ancestor cards are also perfect for approaching problems within a family or social group, including those passed down from our recent ancestors as well as those generated in the current era. Celtic tradition is an enduring source of cultural and spiritual inspiration for many, making a bridge to the wisdom of our ancestral heritage, whatever our origins. Throughout, Caitl n has been inspired by rich stories of Celtic mythology and legend, which help express the meaning of each card.
