Does anyone know of good books of Celtic lore? In particular, the Irish? Its hard to come across any that go back to the gods and goddesses and not just tales of Saint Patrick >.>

The Magic Arts in Celtic Britain by Lewis Spence - goes into beliefs and practices in Celtic Britain and Druidic spirituality and the Celtic spirit world and the beings that live in it. He covers the legends of the Grail.
Practical Celtic Magic, A Working Guide to the Magical Heritage of the Celtic Races, by Murray Hope. Subjects covered include: Celtic religious and magical beliefs; the gods and goddesses of the Celtic pantheon; Celtic tree magic; working with the Celtic calendar; Celtic magic and the Graal legends; the Mysteries of Taliesin.
Magic of theCeltic Otherworlds - Irish History, Lore and Rituals by Steve Blamires. This book gives you a good look at some of the myths, gives rituals and lists of gods and goddesses as well a list of Otherworld Guides other than deities.
I found all three very interesting and some workable ritualsthings that I can include in my practice as well as prayers and invocations.
