In this book we have a modern cultural examination done through the liturgical works of a Sinsearaithe. Gnatha na Sinsear is a cultural and religious practice that foregoes the typical neo-pagan views of Celtic culture. The culture itself is growing with different families and tribes springing up like fresh grass after a long cultural freeze. This project was done with the intention of providing a set of practical rituals and ceremonies along with the fundamental training needed for those who will do the work of a draoi in leading and composing rites and ceremonies. The works within this book are the product of years of research and study dedicated to understanding the ways of the old and bringing them into the modern in their cleanest and purist forms. The rites and practices are a reflection of the passion of the Sinnsreachd culture and the combined Gaelic historical culture they emulate.

HURTLING TOWARDS INEVITABILITY is poet Robert Barton's first book. A haunting writer whose world is described by wrong turns, dark avenues and no exits, and peopled by characters with a beauty corrupted by circumstance, Barton creates within the pages of this book a work apocryphal in its message and lyrical in its execution. These verses are wrought from the fabric of a gritty reality and a life that has seen the full weight of hard times. A genuinely eerie and compelling volume.
