OUR LANGUAGE, OURSELVES by Kathleen Dupree

"Most people in America, even those who are of Irish descent probably do not really know much about Ireland or Her history and culture. [...] Irish is not a funny accent. It is indeed a real language all to itself. [...] Sadly, in this age of global communication the Celtic languages are in danger of disappearing."

BELTANE by Kathleen Dupree

"Beltane, occurring in the modern calendar on April 30, is one of the seasonal festivals of ancient Celtic culture. These festivals were based on the agricultural year and were celebrated by the entire population, each nation and each village with their own set of customs but with a few common symbols among all of the Celtic lands."
