    Extractions: A Celtic cross incorporating the Celtic knotwork motif associated with later Celtic cultures Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism , the apparent religion of the Iron Age Celts . Like other Iron Age Europeans, the early Celts maintained a polytheistic mythology and religious structure. Among Celtic peoples in close contact with Rome, such as the Gauls and Celtiberians , their mythology did not survive the Roman empire , their subsequent conversion to Christianity , and the loss of their Celtic languages, although ironically it is through contemporary Roman and Christian sources that what we do know of their beliefs has come down to us. In contrast, those Celtic peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of the British Isles ) did transmit at least vestigial remnants of the mythologies of their Iron Age forebears, which were often recorded in written form during the Middle Ages Branches of Celtic mythology ...

    Extractions: The Grail Quest The early Christian Church had a penchant for taking the established folklore of a society and assimilating it into a new Christian dogma, painting over the old pagan character in broad strokes. If one looks for it, however, the origins of Medieval Christian stories can by located fairly easily. The 13th-century French writer Chretien de Troyes first introduced the Grail Quest in the form in which we know it today: the story of how virtuous Christian knights such as Percival and Galahad set forth to find the Holy Grail, the chalice used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. It was further hallowed by catching a few drops of the Son of Man's blood during his crucifixion, and later brought to England (as luck would have it) by Joseph of Arimathea. In the medieval romance, only Galahad, the purest and best of the knights, possessed the grace to actually achieve the Grail. However, this sublime Christian myth has much older roots amid the ancient Celtic tradition.

Back to Text List By: Linda Ann Ingram Write us at: raven@qnet.com Scota Scota was thought to be the earliest ancestor of the Scots. According to one story, she was the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh. A wise teacher by the name of Niul, had settled in Egypt and become her husband. They had one child named Goidel, who gave his name to the Gaels. In another story, she was the wife of Milesius and was killed fighting the Tuatha De Danann. Table of Contents Sangreal The Sangreal, or Holy Grail, was the holy vessel of Authorian mythology. It was said to be the cup that Christ drank out of at the Last Supper and is believed to have caught the blood which flowed from the spear thrust in His side at the Crucifixion. It was thought to have been brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man who buried Christ. It may have also been brought by his brother-in-law Bron and his son Alan. Originally it was Sir Percival who was the first to see the Grail and in later versions of the story, it was changed to Sir Galahad, as the only knight who was worthy enough to see such a vision.

Manx - Language of the Isle of Man that belongs to the Gadhelic branch of Celts. The term "Celtic Mythology" has been used since the early 20th Century.

    http://allaboutirish.com/library/tales/mythology.shtm
    
    Extractions: The Celts who settled in Ireland during the first millenium B.C.E., like most other ancient peoples, had explanations of the world around them that in today's literary traditions we consider "myths". Not based on what we accept as scientific principles in modern times, these ancient stories survive to tell us much about the people that embraced them. Before the arrival of Christianity and the availability of Western alphabets, the stories were largely passed on as part of an oral tradition in which the storytellers and poets were held in high regard within the Celtic society. Limited excerpts of the stories had been recorded in Ogham but that system of vertical and diagonal lines wasn't conducive to recording large volumes of written material. Sadly, any creation stories that were originally in the body of mythology were lost before they were told to the Christian scribes who recorded the bulk of the stories sometime between the 8th and 12th (C.E.) centuries.

    Extractions: "The Horned One" is a Celtic god of fertility, life, animals, wealth, and the underworld. He was worshipped all over Gaul, and his cult spread into Britain as well. Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag, sometimes carries a purse filled with coin. The Horned God is born at the winter solstice, marries the Goddess at Beltane, and dies at the summer solstice. He alternates with the Goddess of the moon in ruling over life and death, continuing the cycle of death, rebirth and reincarnation. Paleolithic cave paintings found in France that depict a stag standing upright or a man dressed in stag costume seem to indicate that Cernunnos' origins date to those times. Romans sometimes portrayed him with three cranes flying above his head.

53. Cr02
    Overview of the main deities of celtic mythology with images.  
    http://www.djames.demon.co.uk/celtic/cr02.htm
    
    Extractions: Mythology The Celtic religion was not a coherent belief system but an amalgam of many superstitions and myths, some of them quite local. Natural phenomina like the sun and moon clearly featured, as did human needs and aggression. The Celtic gods, though regarded as immortal, were numerous and not always very distinguishable from the legendary heroes - a situation consistent with a lack of written record and an oral tradition. In addition, lesser gods in particular tended to be imported from other cultures and enjoy a period of popularity before being displaced by newer imports with similar "responsibilities". Also, during the Roman occupation two effects were evident, though usually very local. The first was the assimilation of Teutonic gods as a consequence of the large numbers of Teutonic tribes enrolled in the "Roman" legions. The second was the tendency for Roman gods to be associated or identified with similar indigenous celtic gods in a kind of Romano-British harmonization. The most universal was probably Cernunnos (the horned one) who was a god of hunting and was usually depicted with stags horns on his head, sitting cross-legged and wearing a torc. The Romans identified him with Mercury. He is shown here on a stone carving found in Paris (he is wearing a torc on each horn) - this being the only surviving image which actually carries a name inscription.

    Extractions: WELSH AND CELTIC MYTHOLOGY Wordsworth, the poet, complained that not one English mountain "...though 'round our sea-girt shore they rise in crowds..." had been "...by the celestial Muses glorified...." But, thanks to the scholars who have unveiled the ancient Gaelic and British mythologies, and to our own religion of Y Dynion Mwyn, such is no longer true. On Ludgate Hill in England once stood temples to the British Zeus. A mountain not far from Bettws-y-Coed, Wales was the British Olympus, the court and palace of our ancient pantheon. The stories have lived in legend with the gods portrayed as kings of ancient Britain reigning in the fabulous pre-Roman past; such as Ludd, founder of London; Brennius, who conquered Rome, and many others. They lived on as long-dead saints of the early churches in Wales and Britain whose wonderful adventures are only those of their namesakes, the Old Gods of Prydain, told anew. The elemental powers of earth and fire, and the spirits who haunted the streams and winds appear again as kings and saints in the Welsh stories. To trace these kings, saints and princes to the powers of earth, water, air and fire, and to reveal the Pagan deities under the Christian romance trappings of good King Arthur and his Knights, will be one of the objectives of this lesson.

    Extractions: Culture Geography History Life ... WorldVillage A Celtic cross Like other Iron Age Europeans, the Celts were a polytheistic people. Their mythology did not survive the Roman empire and the conversion to Christianity , but ironically it is through the Romans and Christians that what we do know of their beliefs has come down to us. The pagan Celts were not widely literate, and their priests, the druids , forbade using writing to record anything of religious significance. Rome introduced more widespread literacy and broke the power of the druids: most inscriptions to deities in Gaul Britain and other formerly Celtic-speaking areas post-date the Roman conquest. Christianity introduced literacy to areas not conquered by Rome, such as Ireland , and many myths were recorded by Christian monks , albeit without most of their original religious meanings.

    Extractions: The lands occupied by Celtic peoples, whose existence can be traced over more than 25 centuries, were vast. Celts occupied land in modern day Eastern Europe, Greece, Spain, Northern Italy, Western Europe, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Celtic people have mystified anthropologists and historians for generations. They were a non literate culture whose history and literature was preserved through oral tradition. The only written records of their civilization are the texts left by classical authors, the first of which appear circa 500 BCE. These accounts, inaccurate as they may be, are important in that they demonstrate that the Celts came into cultural contact, and sometimes competition, with the Greeks as well as the Romans. In recent years, modern archeology has been successful in reconstructing an echo of the "voice" of the ancient Celts. Facets of Celtic society, economy, and religion completely ignored by Classical texts have been brought to light. The classical image of Celtic life describes barbaric men and women dressed in uncured animal skins in primitive villages, people who worshipped strange deities and
