Description

The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless Kevin Koch explores the concept of "thin places" in Irish Celtic lore, where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. In this quest for a deeper spiritual landscape, he applies eight principles of a Celtic view of nature to both Irish landscapes and the rugged American Midwest's Driftless Area. Koch draws on insights from onsite guides, spiritual leaders, geologists, archaeologists, and scholars in Celtic studies, religion, and conservation. His journey takes him through the Wicklow Mountains, bogs of Western Ireland, ancient Native American burial mounds, and abandoned lead mines along the Mississippi River bluffs. This book weaves together story, scholarship, and exploration to reveal a unique perspective on the intersection of nature and spirituality.
