What Irish Mythology Can Teach Us About Ourselves.

This book introduces us to the rich and beautiful world of Irish mythology and mines it for wisdom we can use in everyday.

In an increasingly materialistic world, ancient mythology is invaluable for understanding the issues, feelings and conflicts we've repressed either as individuals or as a culture - death, the transitory nature of life, the inevitability of separateness and the sacredness of the land. By retelling ancient stories in contemporary form, Peter O'Connor explores the link between the world of Irish mythology and the world of dreams.

On a personal level, Irish myths can provide insight into the repressed aspects of our inner life and show us how to deal with these issues. Through metaphor and story we are able to find a place for universal themes such as love, hate, rage, despair and death within our own psyche and imagination instead of projecting them onto others.

'Beyond The Mist' shows the value of ancient myths for modern people and seeks to remind us that despite the dominance of materialism, we are immersed in a non-material, sacred, mystical space where life is not a straight line but an eternal circle of birth, life and death.
