Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn, and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic.

This book does not claim answers. It offers a key. If you have ever sensed something beneath the surface… Step closer.
