Anam Cara

In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship. One of the fascinating ideas here is the idea of soul love; “Anam Cara” may sound like some new French perfume, but it actually refers to the Celtic spiritual belief of souls connecting and bonding .

In Celtic Spiritual tradition, it is believed that the soul radiates all about the physical body what some refer to as an aura. When you connect with another person and become completely open and trusting with that individual, your two souls begin to flow together.

Should such a deep bond be formed, it is said you have found your “Anam Cara” or soul friend.

Your “Anam Cara” always accepts you as you truly are, holding you in beauty and light. In order to appreciate this relationship, you must first recognize your own inner light and beauty. This is not always easy to do. The Celts believed that forming an “Anam Cara” friendship would help you to awaken your awareness of your own nature and experience the joys of others.


~ from “Anam Cara…Wisdom from the Celtic World“, by John O’Donohue

Coincidentally...Yes I have. One of John O Donohue's other book "Benedictus", a book of blessings, is a must read.

Artist Reply: Good evening, Jhon.. Glad you have Anam Cara. Life can be too short... Jan, 3, 2008, John O Donohue died at the age of 52. There are u-tube of him, at this same link here. Thanks for visiting & thanks for all your comments.
