Excerpt from The Celtic Doctrine of Re-Birth
I wish to renew my expression of indebtedness to the scholars already mentioned in the preface to vol. I., in particular to M. D'arbois de Jubainville, Professor Erwin Rohde, and Dr. Whitley Stokes. A somewhat lengthy examination and criticism of M. D'arbois' views on the Tuaths dc Dananu mythology entered into my original plan. Here again it seemed best to content myself with setting forth my own theory.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Irish rebirth concepts in classic mythical texts, exploring their archaic origins and cultural significance. By examining these myths alongside similar beliefs in other cultures and historical periods, the author traces the development of the Irish Elysium concept. They argue that the idea of rebirth in Irish myth derives from ancient beliefs about the continuity of life after death, and that it was later elaborated by Irish storytellers to create a rich and complex mythology. The author's insights shed new light on the significance of rebirth in Irish culture and its relevance to broader patterns of human thought and belief.
