Book Description
The Flaming Door is perhaps Eleanor Merry's best known work. The secrets of initiation slumber in the ancient legends, in which men and women found their way through the "flaming door," the threshold between the physical and spiritual worlds. Part one covers the time before Christ and includes studies of the Bards, the Cauldron of Ceridwen, and Hu the Mighty. Part two discusses the time since Christ, which includes the Legends of Odrum, St. Columba, and the Legends of the Rose and the Lily. This is must reading for anyone interested in Celtic myths and Christianity.

Warmly Inspiring +++ September 11, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have found "Flaming Door" by Eleanor Merry to be warmly inspiring. The full original name of this work is "Flaming Door (1936)". For me, it is quite interesting [and amusing] that this is a pre World War Two work. Alot of her ideas seem much like far later "Celtic", "Druidic" and "New Ager" ideas. She does base alot of her work on traditional and historical "Celtic" matter. Yet, quite alot is creative extentions from that. In particular, her linkages [fairly often] to "Atlantis" will likely annoy some and please others. Some, like I, will find that okay from still having an open mind in that area. All-in-all an interesting and inspiring work to complement "cooler" works on "Celtic" and "Celtic Christian" topics -- such as "The Grail Legend" by Emma Jung.
