		<description><![CDATA[// As we approach the cross-quarter holiday of Samhain, it&#8217;s a great opportunity to dive into ancient myth and stories.  Why?  Because ancient parables connect us with our ancestry and offer magnificent lessons we can apply to our modern way of life &#8211; thus making our experiences richer and more meaningful. Now, I realize surface [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This page on the symbolic meaning of the Celtic torc was inspired by a gift. The torc is one of the most characteristic and showcased of Celtic adornments for the body.  Indeed, Cassius wrote how Boudicca went into battle wearing nothing but a &#8220;great necklace of twisted gold&#8221; (which was a torc worn snuggly around the neck).

		<description><![CDATA[Two of my favorite and (IMHO) more profound Celtic symbols for freedom: 1) The hawk was considered an animal symbol of victory and freedom to the ancient Celts. It is typically depicted in Celtic art clutching or devouring a rabbit which was symbolic of lust, greed or frittering away resources to the Celtic symbolic mind.   Philosophically, [...]]]></description>
