@darthroden yes, exactly! It seems to me that more than the book itself, the secret of Kells is that without Aishling, the book would not have been saved or completed.

When Christianity was introduced to a lot of places it got mixed with the religion and culture that inhabited the culture originally. Hence many of the pagan traditions we have during Christmas and Easter as well as a number of many far-reaching effects. A prime example of that sort of fusion is Beowulf, so similarly the creation of the Book of Kells could have been said to have been aided by the ancient ways preceding Christianity in the are

Aishling's fear seems to be more of the nature that she is afraid of being in an enclosed, man-made space, and thus cannot enter a dwelling. It's also very likely she cannot touch worked iron, hence why she resists touching the bars and cannot touch the key herself. She cannot go, so she uses a creature of the earth, Pangurban, to help, with her natural magic and guidance directing the cat.
