~Welcome, to...The Ladies of the Sacred Earth's
~Wisdom of The Word~

The use of words was one of the central aspects of ancient Celtic culture. Not only did words represent the medium of communication, they also formed the focus of spirituality and a repositiry for sacred wisdom. The Celtic tradition; this was the sole means by which the culture expressed its identity, its sense of history and continuity. The spoken word was used both to preserve Celtic mythology and for storytelling, including poetry and song. There were also a variety of lesser spoken forms, such as proverbs, sayings, riddles, prayers, and blessings. The timeless treasures that survive from this tradition still have much to offer us today .. as a means of gaining wisdom, redicovering our native spirituality, and dealing with the challenges that modern living presents.
The ancient Celts had a strong oral tradition. Celtic monks celebrated the spiritual content of the word by producing illuminated manuscripts.
Stories were passed from generation to generation, and the accumalated traditions of the Celts were held within this oral material. This was the sole means by which the culture expressed its identity and its sense of history...how it preserved itself, in fact. Without a strong oral tradition, the culture simple could not survive.
