Celtic Mythology: A Guide to Celtic History, Gods, and Goddesses - Paperback

by Jordan Parr (Author)

CELTIC MYTHOLOGY

The Celts were not a centrally located people, nor were they one single culture. They were a collection of tribes and chiefdoms controlled by a hierarchy of barbarian leadership. In this sense, barbarian represents a group of people not belonging to any of the major Western civilizations: The Romans, Greeks, or Christians.

The original Celts were an Iron Age group called Druids, and they were known for initiating the holidays we now know as Halloween and Christmas. They were a powerful religious sect and a warring collection of tribes. Their central location was what is now modern-day Britain-England specifically. There are no Druids left today, but their ancestry remains embedded in the modern-day British Isles.

This book will take you back in time to the days of the Celts, detailing their traditions, ways of life, and of course religious beliefs including their many fascinating mythological tales!
