Priteni: The Decimation of Celtic Briton (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514771167)

Celtic mysticism, prior to the Roman invasion of Britain, is written in a scholarly but storytelling weaving - a tapestry of history - because this knowledge would otherwise be hidden. Many books have attempted to present the animism of the tribal people of Albion, called priten for the tattoo art (called "painted people") and most have failed for one reason: the indigenous peoples are described in the past tense, alleging that they have long since died out. The invaders, genocidal perpetrators and colonisers of what is now known as England, Scotland and Wales, Ireland, the Outer Hebrides and more, have attempted to eradicate the lore, law, customs, language, culture and spirituality of us, these first people. In many instances rape and assimilation through force have come close to breeding us out. De Angeles delivers the soul of an ancient but living people, their valour and humor, the struggles they fight to maintain a traditional way of life, and that still live. The author is a direct descendant of Caradoc ap Cunobelin, one of those struggling for self determination.To many reading this it will be the first time they have heard the names of these historic people, let alone celebrate their kinship with them. This could very well be your own family. Forgetting is the sleep of freedom.
