Product Details
Love all things Celtic? Kevin Koch writes about The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless where anyone can step into the sacred. In Irish Celtic lore, "thin places" are those locales where the veil between this world and the otherworld is porous, where there is mystery in the landscape. The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless explores how a Celtic view of nature unveils how the earth takes on the hue of the sacred among peoples whose connection to place has remained unbroken through the ages. In a quest to find a deeper spiritual landscape in his own home, Kevin Koch applies eight principles of a Celtic spiritual view of nature to places in Ireland and to the American Midwest's rugged Driftless Area, an unglaciated region of river bluffs, rock outcrops, and steeply wooded hills.
Measuring 6”W x 9”H, the 174 pages of the paperback The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless brings onsite mountaineering guides, spiritual leaders, geologists, and archaeologists alongside scholars in the fields of Celtic studies, religion, and conservation. But Koch never strays far from his story of a trek through the Wicklow Mountains and the bogs of Western Ireland or among ancient Native American burial mounds and abandoned nineteenth-century lead mines in the bluffs above the Mississippi River. The story of The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless reveals how there are no unconnected places.
