I came upon an interesting doctoral dissertation by Catherine Philomena
Thom
about
_The Ascetical Theology and Praxis of Sixth to Eighth Century Irish
Monasticism as a Radical Response to the Evangelium_ at:
http://dlibrary.acu.edu.au/digitaltheses/public/adt-acuvp26.29082005/
It has some interesting ideas about how pre-Christian Irish Celts viewed
the
worlds.
