St. Piran's Cross We had a great question from Chris in South Australia about Celtic tattoos, specifically about any that are Cornish in nature. As we say in the show, there aren't many original and ancient designs from Cornwall. There are a few books that may help with more general Celtic knotwork or art. We recommend having a look at:- Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction by George Bain Art of the Celts: From 700 B.C. to the Celtic Revival World of Art by Lloyd Laing Gaelic Tattoos: Top 50 Irish Gaelic Tattoo Ideas Book The Celtic Design Book - Aidan Meehan We suggested either using a variant of St. Piran's Cross or a form of the Piskie - the little pixie unique to Cornwall. We have images of both (and the Tintagel Labyrinth) below.

Whether in Druidry or in Wicca, or in our distant past these times of the year are special to the Old Gods. Damh celebrates these great community celebrations with this superb song. Make sure you check out Damh's new album and where to get it on his website or on our Contributor Page. He has also made a video about his feelings for this song (as well as the ot
