|
![]() | Warrior Queen
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $8.99 A wonderful, though violent, portrayal of one of the most powerful Celtic women in history who for a time defeated the Romans. The portrayal of the Celtic world is good.
|
![]() | Into the West
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $7.83 A beautiful story based on the white animals from across the veil. Two Irish boys take a journey on a white horse who doesn't always go where the reins tell him to. The use of Irish lore in the film is beautifully true to the old tales.
|
![]() | The Secret of Roan Inish
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.73 This movie is one of the most beautiful adaptations of the old Irish Celtic lore available on film. The story of the threatened loss of a traditional fishing lifestyle on an island in West Ireland, a young girl's longing for her little brother, lost to the sea. A retelling of the lore of the Selkie, the Celtic mer-people who are part seal.
|
![]() | Dancing at Lughnasa
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $4.60 Lughnasa, festival of the Sun God Lugh. Named after the Celtic Pagan festival, a tale of Irish sisters, struggling to find balance between their Catholic values and the deep rumblings of their Pagan ancestors. Meryl Streep is wonderful in this beautiful portrait of the dual heritage of Ireland.
|
![]() | Fairy Tale - A True Story
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.61 An enchanting true story of the two girls who claimed to have photographed faeries near the stream below the garden, and touch off a frenzy of public interest and a famous intellectual duel between Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini. The Faerie folk are beautifully portrayed.
|
![]() | The Fairy King
Buy used from: $1.24 A fun, enchanting kid's movie true enough to Celtic faerie lore to be of interest to adults who love the Celtic world, and to Pagans who believe.
|
![]() | Rob Roy
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.00 Liam Neeson, one of the quintessentially Celtic actors of our time plays Rob Roy McGregor, one of the quintessetial Scottish hero ancestor. The combination is electric and the movie truly great.
|
![]() | Into the Woods
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $10.49 A reverently irreverent take on the best known European fairy tales that most Pagans will love. What happens when the protagonist of various fairy tales all end up in the forest on the same night? Bernadette Peters as the Witch should be required viewing for every buddy Wiccan priestess. She rocks!
|
![]() | SEX & THE CELTS
Buy new: $17.99 An informative and tastefully filmed documentary on the Celtic understanding of Sex and Sexuality. A good movie to watch after dancing the maypole on Beltaine! Or before.
|
![]() | The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.41 This thrilling fiction serves as a fairly accurate portrayal of Neo-Pagan understanding of afterlife and spirits who have not yet crossed the veil. A great example of the metaphoric truth of good storytelling.
|
![]() | Druids
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.87 It's not going to win any awards, and some of it's history smacks of the traditional Greco-Roman historic bias against Celtica. Veiw it with a grain of salt over the shoulder, and it's a good entertainment. Just don't take notes.
|
![]() | King Arthur - The Director's Cut (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.50 Another take on the Arthurian legend that has some wonderful elements of the old religion, but is clearly not guided by the New Celtic Scholarship. Not in the league of Mists of Avalon, but not de-Paganized like Camelot. If you love the legend, it is another version worth seeing.
|
![]() | Practical Magic (Snap Case)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.18 I love this film. The magic is exaggerated and fictionalized, but it is funny and doesn't offend Pagans as so many films using our traditions do. Funny family conflict between unabashedly Wiccan aunts and their neice trying to "be normal." Where else in film can you hear a mother call out to her departing daughter, "And no dancing naked around the Beltaine fires!"
|
![]() | The Last Unicorn
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $4.90 A beautiful and lyric visual poem about the threatened extinction of unicorns and of their magic. A classic among films based on the old lore.
|
![]() | The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)
Buy used from: $20.00 Some of the best songs compatible with earth spirituality come from Disney in recent years. This films message of the interdependence of all in the Circle of Life is a perfect introduction to the nature loving ways of Paganism. Sing "Circle of Life" with your kids!
|
![]() | Pocahontas (10th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.78 The lack of historical accuracy in this film caused some consternation, but as poetic metaphor and not history, this film offers, via Native American spirituality, a lesson in the earth religions. "The Colors of the Wind" is one song any Pagan parent can sing with pride.
|
![]() | The Little Mermaid (Two-Disc Platinum Edition)
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $13.49 Mermaids, disgruntled witches who use magic for less than stellar aims, and ocean creatures who sing, and of course, King Triton. Seems like a celebration of ecclectic Wicca to me, a kind of clash of cultures coming of age with magic.
|
![]() | Bloody Sunday
Buy used from: $15.41 After centuries of oppression, one Celtic country wins its independence in a painful revolution that helped pave the way for a rebirth of Gaelic languages and knowledge of the old Gods and Goddesses. Essential history for Neo-Pagans.
|
![]() | Pan's Labyrinth (New Line Two-Disc Platinum Series)
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $2.49 What Pagan doesn't love that lusty and seductive god Pan? This stunning visual banquet is not a retelling of ancient lore, but is true to Pan's nature and history.
|
![]() | The Gnome-Mobile
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $9.00 Okay, this is no treatise on the nature of the little people, and it is beginning to show its age, but still it is a very fun family movie that treats the wee folk well highlighting the openess children naturally have to magic.
|
![]() | Braveheart
Buy used from: $2.36 An Academy Award winning movie with brave, powerful Scotish men in kilts fighting the oppression of a British King and winning. What more does any good Pagan need to know? The William Wallace story with historic flaws, but steelar storytelling.
|
![]() | Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Special Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $1.13 Harry Potter has done more good PR for magical folk more widely than any other movies in history. All of the Harry Potter films are wonderfully old-ways friendly. Witches and wizards are the good guys. The films shows why, though we love the muggles, we don't want to be them.
|
![]() | Roar - The Complete Series
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $69.97 I just discovered this short lived television series and I wish there were more episodes. Not only is Heath Ledger a joy to watch, but the scripts are more consistently accurate historically and philosphically than almost anything I have seen on the Pagan Celtic people. Good stuff!
