Summary:

A profound exploration of the Celtic spiritual tradition, and particularly of the Celtic visionary imagination.Connecting this with both the Platonic and Islamic traditions, this book suggests a ""lost category"" of existence which would account for the possibility of resurrection from the dead and communication with Angels. Noel O'Donoghue opens up new and exciting horizons for Christian exploration.
