Among the misconceptions about the ancient and medieval Celtic peoples, the notion of a specifically 'Celtic' astrology remains widespread in the popular mind. This study aims to counter such myth-making, and to demonstrate how a number Irish and Welsh literary writers in the medieval and Early Modern period conceived of portents in the heavens - comets, blood-coloured moons, darkened suns - and what they knew of the complex art of astrology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47565178044567,"sku":"9780199571840","price":14137.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199571840.webp?v=1774697487","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fiery-shapes-celestial-portents-and-astrology-in-ireland-and-wales-700-1700-9780199571840","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
