The Mystical Magical Celtic World A-Z

By Karen Lawrence and Zoey Carr

There are mystical, magical creatures and gods living in the Moors and Highlands this night that can be scary at times like Cait Sith, the black cat, the size of a dog, that roams the highlands and Cu Sith, the green dog. There is Fir Darrig and Leprechauns who can magically make you wealthy. Loch Ness, the mysterious, prehistoric creature in the loch to water horses like Kelpies and Noggles. Enter the Mystical Magical Celtic World if you dare.

This childrens book aims to teach children the alphabet by presenting a series of fantastical Celtic gods and mystical characters. The characters and myths are presented in alphabetic order. Each creature and myth is accompanied by a short poem that explains to the reader what the myth or creature is. Adults can enjoy reading the Celtic Myths passed down from generation to generation in Ireland, Scotland, Wales.

I find inspiration in Dungeons & Dragons, stories from friends, antics of pets, and the wilderness that consumes my heart. I don’t really know what I’m doing as a whole other than finding myself & what brings me joy. I choose to not speak on my own work, but to let the viewers make their own meanings based on their own experiences & emotions.
