Enchant the ears and imaginations of all who hear you play the 50 original songs in this book. Fifteen songs relate mythic tales from the wondrous world of the Celtic Mabinogion. Take a musical journey along the Wheel of the Year, with stops at each of the eight Pagan Sabbats -- then explore other songs, invocations and chants which celebrate the Goddess, magic, love and adventure. Wiccan lore prefaces each song to add context to the lyrics.

Summary: 60's bard
Comment: Ok, it's my fault. I didn't look at the back cover before buying. I trusted the title and other reviews. However, if your idea of bard/pagan is Pete Seeger and Country Joe McDonald, then this is the book for you. It's 60's Smothers Brothers/Clancy Brothers stuff - fine, except that's not what I was expecting. And, it's been done a million times before...hmmm...is this why this book is out of print? (And gee, couldn't they have at least performed a couple tunes in a different key?)

Summary: Great!
Comment: This is a wonderful book! You learn so much, not to mention its fun! My only critism is the font "A Bard's Book of Pagan Songs: Stories and Music from the Celtic World" was printed in, its kinda hard to read. Makes your eyes hurt after a bit. But, other than that, I had no problems whatsoever with this book. I reccommend it to all pagans and anyone who wants to learn more about Celtic paganism's history.

Summary: Fun and interesting
Comment: This is definitely a "topic specific" book, but if it's the topic you're looking for then you're in for a treat.
The author proceeds each musical score with a brief story about which the song is based. It's not cluttered with a lot of personal yarns. Very enjoyable. The CD is a great bonus!

Summary: Suitable for after-rite Entertainment
Comment: It was wonderful to hear the tales structured and set to music much like stories must have been presented in pre-literate times. The music even sounds like the old folk-song modes. Good CD to play while feasting after ritual and then good songs to play while the mead and ale are passed!

Summary: LOVED every bit of the book and CD
Comment: The book and the CD are both so colorful in word and song that you can't help but enjoy it. I love the stories that come before the written music, I love the written music, and I loved the CD. Believe me, the songs are contagious! I definitely didn't think I would enjoy it this much, but I did.
