2012 Fund Raising Drive
 Our funding raising drive this year has a sense of urgency due to a number of factors. First, we are experiencing a unique situation which we are attributing to the economic down turn finally taking a chunk out of our yearly and monthly subscriptions. Our total website subscriber base has eroded by almost a 150 paying members in the past year, yet at the same time we are seeing explosive increases in the number of listeners and visitors to our site!
At the same time we have continued to make available free listener capacity of 645 listeners at any one time across all of our Celtic Music channels. Our site and broadcasts continue to be an oasis for people to seek out the comforts, excitement and serenity of the Celtic Music that we feature. Musicians utilize our free services to help promote their band and music. We have a yearly award program called the Celtic Radio Music Award which recognizes exceptional contributions made to Celtic Music for aspiring and hard working musicians. And to date we have given away and mailed over 900 CD's through our monthly CD contests. We also have a little known program that extends enhanced and premium memberships to those that fall under hardtimes either through unemployment or foreclosure.
You can help us meet our obligations and continue our Celtic Radio website and channels by making a donation using the below donate button. If you enjoy the rich
variety of Celtic music we play on all 6 of our channels, our upgraded and unique website, then we urge you to consider a small donation. Donations can be
anything from $5 or $10 to more. It is a community effort that we are counting on to make our goal this year. If your donation is atleast $10, you will be eligible to receive one of our Celtic Radio donation gifts below. The amount of your donation determines your gift, so take a good look at all of the goodies before you decide on which donation package fits you best.

The Knights Templar
In Search of the Knights Templar!
The Order of the Knights Templar was a military and religious brotherhood that dominated medieval Europe for nearly two hundred years until it was suppressed in the early 1300s. It truly was a colossus of its age, the first uniformed standing army since the days of the Roman Empire and, off the battlefield, the first truly multinational organization. Great landowners, industrialists and traders, the Knights also introduced banking—the linchpin of the modern world—to Europe.
This guide to the sites of Britian's Templar Knights contains beautiful photographs, illustrations, maps and well written historical descriptions of these visual displays. Castles, artifacts, lands, structures and buildings are all displayed in full color through 256 pages of interesting and historical commentary.

The Crusaders
The Crusades: History and Myths Revealed!
For almost two hundred years, from 1095, the Crusades raged on and off dramatically ending with the fall of Acre in 1291, leaving us with some of the most striking images of the Middle Ages. This was the period that saw the birth and dominance of the Knights Templar, The Hospitallers and the Teutonic Knights and also gave rise to such legendary figures as Saladin and Richard the Lionheart.
It was a period when enormous Christian armies, spurred on by an explosive mixture of religious fervour and a greed for treasure, waged war across much of the Middle East, the eventual result of which was paradoxically to see large tracts of Europe fall under Muslim rule for centuries.
The Crusades clearly explains the consequences of those great battles of the Middle Ages; both for those involved and for us today as the aftershocks of those monumental two centuries echo across time and history shaping relationships between Christians and Muslims to this day. 192 pages.

Celtic Spirit Package
The Celtic people lived on the edges of the ancient world and had a deep respect for their gods and nature. Every element of their lives was imbued with a sense of the sacred and they attached symbols to every feature in their world. The Celtic Spirit package is our premier Celtic donation package. This is the ultimate Celtic starter set that not only will give you a well founded background on Celtic history and legends; but will also provide you and your family with hours of entertainment with the Celtic Message cards and the Spirit of Celtic Art set. This is the only package that contains the hardcover pocket book edition of "Celtic Astrology" and the Celtic Tarrot cards and booklet.
Our Celtic Spirit Package extends beyond the more obvious areas of poetry, song, storytelling, and art into spirituality, divination, heroic struggle, and the role of women. At a practical level, we can see how it has influenced national identities and the Western legal system. Living in today’s materialistic, capitalist societies, we still have much to learn from the balanced and harmonious approach to life of the Celts.
