McCoy skillfully  examines the history of women in ancient Celtic society and reveals its significance to the women of today.Celtic Women's Spiritualitydetails commonly practiced rituals such as the Celtic festivals of the  year, and includes more uncommon traditions such as the soul-friend bonding known as Anamchara, and  aspects of Celtic shamanism such as shape shifting. Women who have felt distanced from their spirituality  should explore these traditional pathways for incorporating the power of their warrior archetypes into their  20th-century lives.
