Unidentified Celtic deity from France with boar carved in torso The Celts were a technologically advanced and barbarous people who occupied vast areas of western and central Europe during the last half of the first millenium b.c. Although the early Celts were composed of a number of different races and tribes, and at the height of their power they spread across wide tracts of Europe, they did have a uniformity of religious idiom that enables historians to speak of a Celtic religion. They were linked by common origins and language (P-Celtic spoken in Gaul and Britain, and Q-Celtic spoken in Ireland), common religious traditions, and a close similarity of laws. The Celts were highly ritualistic and religious. Their elaborate burials, under a mound, in a wooden chamber usually made of oak, furnished with highly decorated weapons, food, drink, and personal ornaments point to powerful beliefs about the nature of life after death. The bodies of the wealthy dead were laid out, burnt or unburnt, on four-wheeled wagons in the earliest of Celtic peoples, and later in lighter, two wheeled wagons. Celtic religion featured many female deities such as mother goddesses and war goddesses. The Mother Goddess of the Celts was often conceived as a warrior, fighting with weapons and instructing the hero in superior secrets of warfare. Celtic deities were tribal by nature, and each tribe or clan would have its own names for particular gods and goddesses. This accounts for the great diversity of names in Celtic mythology, there are over 300 different names recorded. The Celts also believed that it was dangerous to name a sacred thing by its correct name, the result being that sacred things are often referred to in a roundabout way.

Celtic Religion and Mythology The fruits of a foray into a centre of learning of an ancient people (University College, Cork) by the most scholarly of wenches, Lady Lionors, alias Tracey Rosenberg The study of Celtic mythology and religion is difficult for modern scholars because of the dearth of comprehensive sources. The scattered material that does exist is often complicated by the influence of other cultures, thus forcing the researcher to analyze "impure" information. However, scholars have been able to piece together coherent theories of Celtic religious and mythological thought through data from the continent as well as from the islands of Britain and Ireland (the "insular" sources). Continental and insular sources, while not interchangeable, are compatible for discussions of a widespread Celtic tradition, thus increasing their scholarly value. Availability of sources varies greatly, as does their usefulness. For example, knowledge of Gaulish mythological tales or religious beliefs are non-existent, as the Gauls wrote down neither their tales nor their rituals. (Typically Celtic, the Gauls were an oral culture, much to the loss of modern research.) In contrast, Irish mythology has been preserved through manuscripts of early Christian monks. However, these are far from complete, thanks to the Viking invasion of Ireland in the ninth century. During the so-called Dark Ages, an age of golden enlightenment in Ireland there were numerous Tech Screpta, or great libraries, in the country. There are frequent references to the enormous amount of Irish manuscript books. At the end of the eighth century, however, the Vikings began their raids on the country, Entire libraries were looted or destroyed.

In the 4th century BCE their influence and territories covered the length of Europe, stretching from Britain to Asia Minor. Celtic mythology consists of three groups: The Goidelic, including Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the western highlands of Scotland. In language, race, and tradition these form a homogenous block; The Insular Brythonic, including Wales and Cornwall, also inhabited by kindred people with a somewhat similar history; The Continental Brythonic, that is, Brittany.

Before Rome became a power in the ancient world, the Celts dominated much of Europe. From the British Isles in the north to Spain in the south and east to the Balkans and Turkey. They were farmers, warriors and artists who worshipped the natural aspects around them: the sun, the moon, the stars and of course Mother Earth.

Celtic Myth Bestiary The following is material cut from GURPS Celtic Myth , due to space considerations. Readers are also referred to Celtic Myth, p. 7, ''Celts and the Natural World''. Natural Creatures Prydain and Eriu are filled with wildlife, much of it small and harmless. But there are wolves in the forests (why else would the Irish need their enormous wolfhounds?) and wild boars can be bad tempered when crossed. There are some creatures, however, which feature again and again in Celtic mythology. These are the creatures which characters are likely to turn into, or be turned into by Druids or druid wands. As a variant on this it is possible to have a character who is actually an animal with intelligence but animal nature who has been turned into a human.

Since they eat carrion, they are often found hanging around battlefields. One of the aspects of the triple death goddess, the Morrigan, often appears in the form of a raven. If PCs see a raven, they should never be sure if it is *just* a raven, or if it is the Morrigan. If it *is* the Morrigan, the chances are, something awful is about to happen. Some also say that ravens are spies, sent out by enemies.

Fairy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses of Fairy, fay, fay, see Fairy (disambiguation) Take the Fair Face of Woman... by Sophie Anderson A fey or fairy is a spirit (supernatural being) found in the stories, folklore, and mythology of many (some sources say most or all) human cultures. They are generally humanoid in form, though of a higher, spiritual nature and so possessed of preternatural abilities. They are often regarded as being aloof, ephemeral, mercurial, and whimsical, amongst other qualities that place them outside of a human scope and have a tendency to make them associated or confused with other mythologic creatures. Contents Etymology Nature Fairies in literature Fairies in visual arts ... edit Etymology The words "fey" and "faerie" came to English from French and, ultimately, Latin. The Latin root fata, meaning fate in the sense of one of the Parcae , is an indication that fey have abilities associated with knowledge (foresight) and manipulation (luck, blessing, cursing) of fate, both of which are qualities of faeries in myth. Fata influenced modern Italian's fada and Spanish's hada
