Coles Living Virtuously: A Pocket Guide for Gaelic Polytheists at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In the modern practice of ancient faiths, many individuals find themselves lost regarding specifics. For Gaelic Polytheists, the practitioners of the modern revival of the ancient religion of Ireland, one major puzzle is the ethical system: The six virtues. These six virtues (Honesty, Loyalty, Hospitality, Courage, Honor, and Justice) are quite different from the prohibitions of modern life, and indeed are quite different from what even their modern English names imply.Through this book, the author - a Gaelic Polytheist of nearly a decade - summarizes in short order the basics of the ancient Gaelic ethical system as best understood using modern reconstructionist philosophy. Based in readings of the mythology and comparative studies of nearby ancient religions and societies, the modern Gaelic religion serves as a strong foundation from which modern individuals can pursue self improvement. This title is the first step on that road once an individual has adopted the religion.Without detailing the religion itself, which is covered in various other sources (some of which are shared at the end of this book) this title acts as an easy to read pocket guide to virtuous everyday life in the modern day. By breaking down the virtues using modern day examples and thought experiments, the reader is able to gain a proper understanding of the virtues and, as a result, gain the ability to make their own ethical decisions from a Gaelic Polytheist framework without having to look for a "script".
