- Book Synopsis
-
In his final book, Manchán Magan implores us – even dares us – to move from the limited rational world to a more expansive spiritual one. To become re-enchanted once again. To understand that there are more ways of seeing, more ways of knowing and to uncover the interconnectedness between all things.
Manchán explores how ancient Irish culture retains deep resonances with other indigenous worldviews – a way of perceiving land, language, nature and spirit as inseparable. Drawing on mythology, early law, folklore and placenames, Manchán traces how Ireland's forests, sacred trees and landscapes shaped the Irish psyche with such a resilience that many beliefs and customs endure to this day. In Seeing What's Hidden, Manchán implores us to look again so that we too might rediscover our cultural inheritance and chart our course forward from here.
