Hi hazel, Pictish culture is heavily centered on shamanism, and shape shifting is a common element discussed in folk stories. The truth is, genuine Pictish spirituality has been lost in Scotland over time due to the genocide of Kenneth MacAlpins reign some time ago. Good luck finding out anything...its hard when all we know of it comes thru another culture just as mysterious...the Celts.

Greetings all~ All being Celtic pagans here, does anyone know of any good books or resources regarding Pictish and Scottish magic? I know more about Irish magic, but being very pictish and scottish in heritage, I am developing more of an interest towards it. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone here knew any reliable and authentic resources to educate myself on the subject. Preferably anything that is not published by Lewellyn would be nice. I want something meaty and rich with history, lore and magic. Thanks all! ~hazel~
