Taliesin's Map: The Comparative Guide to Celtic Mythology

The book provides a deep esoteric dive into Celtic mythology while referencing from other IE branches to fully solidify much lost knowledge. A heavy book to be useful for generations to come.

This book will help you understand that the majority of the myths have a shared Indo-European origin and guide you very thoroughly in understanding how the connections make sense based on comparative mythology. I would hope that the author writes a sequel to this book!

An absolute must-read for mythology enthusiasts or those pursuing any Indo-European pagan path. This book is hands-down the most comprehensive and accurate investigation into comparative mythology any author has yet acheived. The conclusions are not only logical, but fit within the tapestry of Indo-European mythology, religion, and overall worldview like perfect puzzle pieces. There is no doubt in my mind that the work of J. Dolan surpasses the work of Georges Dumézil himself, and will become the golden standard for comparative mythological research in the coming decades.

This will prove to be a transformative body of research, and contains ample textual evidence that can repair and clarify our understanding of Indo-European mythology. As the popularity of Paganism skyrockets and more and morewesterners yearn to regain their identity, this book is a priceless resource for reconstructing our cultural understanding.

Most likely the best book on comparitive mythology for all branches of Indo-European mythology and integral to repairing Celtic myth and religion.

The exploration of comparative mythology to develop a better understanding of Celtic cosmology stands alone.

The effort poured into this book is worth every penny.

I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand Irish and Welsh mythology, especially how the myths compare to myths found in the Germanic and even Vedic traditions. The book is well formatted into individual articles, so it's easy to put down and pick back up again without it becoming confusing.

The amount of detailed research in this book is outstanding.Highly recommended to anyone seeking a better understanding of this topic, a very enlightening and easily digestible read.
