Bibliography

An incomplete bibliography of sources valuable to a modern fénnid. It includes only books currently in my own library, so that I can examine them directly, and not rely on my memory of books I have read in the past:

Books (You can also buy these books from the Bookshop)

• Amberger, J. Christoph – The Secret History of the Sword – quality discussion of European martial arts in general, with some specific discussion of both reconstructing lost arts and the realities of facing live weapons.
• Baring-Gould, Sabine – The Book of Werewolves – an excellent source of European werewolf lore.
• Bartlett, Thomas and Keith Jeffery, eds. – A Military History of Ireland – an historical perspective on fighting, soldiery, and warriors in Irish history.
• Beith, Mary – Healing Threads – a collection of Scottish Highland and Island healing and herbal lore.
• Bruno, Giordano – Cause, Principle and Unity And Essays on Magic – a renaissance magician discusses what magic really was.  Best read in conjunction with Ioan Couliano.
• Carmichael, Alexander – Carmina Gadelica – if you can find the six-volume set, get it.  Otherwise, the edition from Lindisfarne Books contains all of the “hymns and incantations”, albeit only in translation.
• Chesbro, Michael – Wilderness Evasion – most survival manuals concentrate on how to be found for rescue purposes. This one concentrates on how not to be found. Sometimes, the survivalist rhetoric gets a little thick, but it is still a worthwhile read.
• Clark, Rosalind – The Great Queens – an introduction to the warrior goddess of Ireland.  Very interesting, though I am not sure about her insistence on equating all war goddesses as one goddess.
• Clarke, David – A Guide to Britain’s Pagan Heritage – nice folklore discussion of festivals and customs throughout the British Isles.
• Clarke, David and Andy Roberts – Twilight of the Celtic Gods – discussion of pagan survivals in North England, in the Pennine District.
• Couliano, Ioan – Eros and Magic in the Renaissance – if you thought you knew what magic was, this book will probably be an eye-opener to you.
• Croker, Thomas Crofton – Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland – one of the very first folklore collections regarding Ireland, it still holds up as a good work.
• Curtin, Jeremiah – Hero-Tales of Ireland – not only does this contain some good Finn stories, it also has the only Balor stories I’ve been able to find.
• Danaher, Kevin – The Year in Ireland – Irish calendar customs throughout the year.
• Davenport, Gregory J. – Wilderness Living – addresses wilderness survival from the point of view of deliberate, long-term living by choice in the wild.  Probably the best single survival book I have seen.
• Davenport, Gregory J. – Wilderness Survival – a more traditional book on survival techniques.  Excellent, and concentrates on principles that can be applied to any survival situation, rather than specifics that are only applicable to a particular terrain or region.
• Davidson, H.R. Ellis – Myths and Symbols in Pagan Europe – discusses the similarities and differences between Scandinavian/Germanic pagan beliefs and those of the Celtic peoples. Especially useful for the discussion of battle-goddesses.
• Day, Laura – Practical Intuition – I hesitate to recommend this, as I deeply dislike the tone of New Age authors of this sort, including this one.  However, this is a very good introduction to the subject of intuition and what value that form of thinking can have.
• Donovan, Prof. Mike – The Science of Boxing – late 19th century instructions on boxing technique.  Includes some of the "trick" moves employed at that time.
• Dooley, Ann and Harry Roe – Tales of the Elders of Ireland – a translation of Acallam na Sénorach.
• Douglas, Adam – The Beast Within – a history of werewolf mythology in Europe.
• Flett, J.F. and T.M. Flett – Traditional Step-Dancing in Scotland – contains the only known surviving weapon dance, of the type which will be discussed in the Cleasa section of the website.
• Foclóir Póca – an English-Irish/Irish-English dictionary. There are others, but this is the one I use.
• Fox, Robin – The Tory Islanders – fascinating anthropological work on this society on the fringe of Ireland, in which the old ways held sway until very recently.  The first chapter also includes some very different perspectives on the events of Cath Mag Tuired.
• Gantz, Jeffrey – Early Irish Myths and Sagas – contains translations of some of the stories most important to understanding fénníocht.
• Geddes & Grosset – Celtic Mythology – a good introduction, although written for children.
• Geoffrey of Monmouth – The History of the Kings of Britain – very valuable for the first section, which is a near-perfect parallel to the Irish Lebor Gabala.
• Ginzburg, Carlo – Ecstacies: Deciphering the Witches' Sabbath – with a wider view than The Night Battles, this is a very enlightening look at the generalities of European ecstatic religion.  It includes some very direct and interesting discussion of werewolves in Livonia and the Baltic area, and how werewolfism is related to European ecstatic practices.
• Ginzburg, Carlo – The Night Battles – while not directly connected with fénníocht, this book covers another non-Christian warrior cult connected with the werewolf.
• Green, Miranda – Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend – very useful reference for a number of subjects.
• Green, Miranda – The Gods of the Celts – excellent discussion of Celtic deities in general.
• Gregory, Lady Augusta – Irish Myths and Legends – one of the earliest English translations of the mythology.  There are better translations available today, but none are so easy to come by, and few are as entertainingly written.
• Guyonvarc’h, Christian-J. – The Making of a Druid – translation of, and commentary on, Immacalam in dá Thúarad.
• Harpur, Patrick – Daimonic Reality – there is no better discussion of what anomalous phenomena mean.  Extensive discussion of fairy-lore.
• Heinz, Sabine – Symbols of the Celts – fairly good discussion of the meanings of various symbols in Celtic context.
• Heller, Steven Ph.D. and Terry Steele – Monsters and Magical Sticks – very good discussion of hypnosis.
• Henderson, George – Survivals in Belief Among the Celts – a great source of folklore.
• Hopman, Ellen Evert – A Druid’s Herbal – though I see little that is specifically “Celtic” or “Druidic” about this beyond the organizing conceit of structuring it around Scots-Irish festivals, it is a fine and useful herbal.
• Hutton, Ronald – Witches, Druids, and King Arthur – a good look at the subject matter of Druids and King Arthur, dissecting the legends and placing them in historical context. In part written as a response to, and meditation on the methodological problems of, T.M. Luhrmann's book (q.v.)
• Jones, Gwyn and Thomas Jones, tr. – The Mabinogion – the Welsh stories contain some useful and valuable comparisons with the Scots-Irish traditions that are the focus of this website.  This is my favorite translation of the Welsh material.
• Kelly, Fergus – A Guide to Early Irish Law – a complete introduction to the subject of jurisprudence in early Ireland.
• Kennedy, Gerald Conan – Ancient Ireland – a nice collection of folklore, but not particularly valuable.
• Kinsella, Thomas – The Tain – one of the best available translations of the Táin Bó Cuailnge.
• Kirk, Rev. Robert – The Secret Common-Wealth – the first discussion in print of the fairy-faith.  Available in several editions, the best three I am aware of are Brian Walsh's (listed below), Stewart Sanderson’s and R.J. Stewart’s, the latter going under the title Robert Kirk: Walker Between Worlds.  Stewart’s also includes a great deal of useful commentary, as well as being available for free online, in pdf format, and in MacBinary format.
• Kondratiev, Alexei – The Apple Branch – one specific form that Reconstructionist/Restorationist Celtic religion can take. Has many useful insights, but some people disagree with certain details. I still find it the most complete book on the subject in print.
• Kriss, Marika – Werewolves, Shapeshifters, and Skinwalkers – more discussion of shapeshifter beliefs. Useful for its look at shapeshifters outside of Europe.
• Laurie, Erynn Rowan (as Erynn Darkstar) – The Cauldron of Poesy – very difficult to find, but well worth it.  Transcripts of a series of three lectures on Celtic mysticism and magic centered on the poem of the title.  Laurie later wrote an article on the poem that goes into more depth, but this was one of the milestones of Celtic Reconstructionism/Revivalism/Restorationism.
• Laurie, Erynn Rowan – A Circle of Stones – one of the first and best of the Celtic Reconstructionist/Revivalist/Restorationist books.
• Lecouteux, Claude – Witches Werewolves and Fairies – important discussion of the theme of the Double, and its relation to werewolves and other magical beings.
• Lincoln, Bruce – Death, War, and Sacrifice – essential for understanding what being a warrior means in a general Indo-European (and also specifically in a Celtic) cultural milieu.
• Luhrmann, T.M. – Persuasions of the Witch's Craft – anthropological discussion of how people in magical societies come to believe "impossible" things. A necessary anodyne against getting too far from the ability to function effectively in the world.
• MacCana, Proinsias – Celtic Mythology – a terrific introduction to Celtic mythology and religion.
• Mackenzie, Alexander – Prophecies of the Brahan Seer – exactly what the title says, the prophecies spoken by Kenneth Mackenzie, the Brahan Seer.
• Mallory, J.P. – In Search of the Indo-Europeans – the Celts are an Indo-European people.  To properly understand them, one must learn where they came from and developed their ideas.  Between this and Bruce Lincoln, a great deal of understanding can be had.
• Matthews, Caitlín and John Matthews – The Encyclopædia of Celtic Wisdom – while the Matthews do not seem particularly profound on any of the subjects discussed here, it is a solid effort, and contains many primary sources in translation.
• Matthews, John, ed. – The Bardic Source Book – the Matthews are at their best when they simply present original sources, though I still complain that they only provide translations.
• McColman, Carl – The Complete Idiot's Guide to Celtic Wisdom – an awful title, but an acceptable book.  Its primary faults lie in it's sometimes derogatory tone toward Celtic Reconstructionists (oddly enough, in part berating them most inhospitably for a perceived lack of hospitality toward outsiders) and its avoidance of warrior path material in favor of the more purely mystic paths.
• McCone, Kim – Pagan Past and Christian Present in Early Irish Literature – excellent discussion of the themes of the title, with a chapter (Chapter 9: “Druids and outlaws”, pp. 203-232) which specifically concentrates on the theme of outlaws and their relation to druids.
• Meyer, Kuno – A Primer of Irish Metrics – the best source of old Irish poetics around.  It is the primary source for all poetic discussion on this website.
• Mountfort, Paul Rhys – Ogam – the best published book I have seen on this subject.
• Nagy, Joseph Falaky – Conversing With Angels & Ancients – an important discussion of the ways in which the oral and literary traditions interweave in Ireland.  Includes very useful material on the warrior myth in Irish material.
• Nagy, Joseph Falaky – The Wisdom of the Outlaw – this was really my main starting-point in developing this vision of modern fénníocht.  This is probably the closest thing I have to a “Bible”, when taken in combination with several of the journal articles mentioned below.
• Newton, Michael – A Handbook of the Scottish Gaelic World – a well-organized introduction to many elements of the Gaelic culture.  Includes much discussion of poetry, fighting, and many other very useful items.
• O'Donnell, Elliott – Werwolves – also titled Werewolves. Another look at European werewolf folklore.
• Olsen, Larry Dean – Outdoor Survival Skills – a comprehensive look at the skills of woodcraft, from the perspective that one should be able to survive with no initial tools at all.
• Otten, Charlotte F., ed. – A Lycanthropy Reader: Werewolves in Western Culture – several very good and useful articles, including one by H.R.E. Davidson.
• Otto, Walter F. – Dionysus – provides useful information on the related cult of the Maenads.
• Ó Siadhail, Mícheál – Learning Irish – a book and tape set that may be the best introduction to the language around.
• Patterson, Nerys – Cattle Lords & Clansmen – excellent analysis of the social structure of early Ireland.
• Pennick, Nigel – The Power Within – like many of Pennick's books, this one rambles and roams without getting very deep into the subject.  A good overview, though, of the Western Martial Tradition, with plenty of discussion of the more spiritual aspects. I have some questions about certain aspects, but overall it seems worth the effort.
• Pócs, Éva – Between the Living and the Dead – analyzes ecstatic practitioners in Hungary during the Middle Ages.  Useful to help elucidate the differences between European and Shamanic ecstatics.
• Power, Patrick C. – The Book of Irish Curses – a good look at a small piece of Irish culture, and the ways that it manifests in both English and Irish.
• Raftery, Barry – Pagan Celtic Ireland – primarily archaeological, has some very good discussion of the nature of the religion of the Irish people as elucidated through the material remains of the culture(s).
• Reader’s Digest – Magic and Medicine of Plants – not specifically Celtic, but a very good, fairly comprehensive herbal.
• Rector, Mark, ed. – Highland Swordsmanship – an edition of both Donald McBane’s Expert Sword-Man’s Companion and Sir William Hope’s New Method of Fencing, with an additional essay by Paul Wagner.  There will apparently be a sequel, containing further fencing manuals of value to those working with traditional Scots-Irish sword styles, but it has not appeared at this time.
• Rees, Alwyn and Brinley Rees – Celtic Heritage – this is still the first book I recommend to anyone intending to study Celtic pre-Christian religion in any capacity.
• Sjoestedt, Marie-Louise – Gods and Heroes of the Celts – includes valuable discussion of the warrior in Celtic societies.
• Skelton, Robin – Spellcraft – the only book I am aware of which discusses the topic of poetry as magic.
• Stewart, R.J. – Earth Light – while Stewart is operating from a fairly “New Age” perspective, it is undeniable that some of his books contain some valuable insights into the more mystical side of Celtic spirituality.
• Stewart, R.J. – The Mystic Life of Merlin – another fairly good book by Stewart.
• Stewart, R.J. – Power Within the Land – the sequel to Earth Light.
• Sun Tzu – The Art of War – still the best discussion of warrior thinking anywhere or anywhen.
• Synge, John M. – The Aran Islands – an anthropological look at one of the longest-lasting areas of the Gaeltacht.  I’ve seen some people cast aspersions on this one, but have seen no particulars about the disagreements.
• Tacitus – Agricola – usually available in an edition including Germania (also recommended), this is a bit of history of the British Isles from a near-contemporary.  Includes a great deal of useful cultural information.
• Thompson, Christopher – Lannaireachd – the best introduction to Scots-Irish swordsmanship around.  This is the martial arts style I connect most strongly with fénníocht.
• Tolstoy, Nikolai – The Quest for Merlin – nice discussion of the pre-Christian realities underlying the archetypal wizard of the Arthurian cycle.
• Turco, Lewis – The New Book of Forms – an excellent introduction to poetics in general, with several forms drawn from Irish and Welsh sources.
• Turner, Victor – The Ritual Process – a look at the liminal process of ritual.
• U.S. Air Force – United States Air Force Search and Rescue Survival Training, AF Regulation 64-4 – more wilderness survival skills.
• U.S. Army – U.S. Army Survival Manual, FM 21-76 – a valuable source of wilderness skills.
• Walsh, Brian – The Secret Commonwealth and the Fairy Belief Complex – includes the text of The Secret Commonwealth by Rev. Robert Kirk, and extensive scholarly analysis. Written by a man involved in the Celtic Spirituality movement.
• Wentz, W.Y. Evans – The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries – an excellent early anthropology of the fairy-faith.  While generally good, he does tend to try to explain the fairy-faith through a Theosophical perspective at times, but that is easily avoided by the careful reader.
• Wilson, Peter Lamborn – Ploughing the Clouds – an interesting look at possible entheogenic motifs in Irish mythology.  Good arguments, but Wilson is fairly obviously inclined toward one particular substance - mistakenly, in my opinion.
• Wimberly, Lowry Charles – Folklore in the English & Scottish Ballads – just what it says.  Good folklore source.
