Lugodoc's Guide to Celtic Mythology Through a monstrous perversion of the Bard's art, Lugodoc has reduced the entire canon of Celtic myth into bite-sized chunks, easily digested by today's 3-minute attention spanned video game-addicted goldfish-minded web-surfing generation. This is not a telling of Celtic myth, only a map. Chronological sense is maintained except where this would ruin the flow of the Celtic knot of interweaving stories. Try too hard to put these in proper order and you will go mad. Myth is not history. Some stories appear under their traditional titles, some I have had to make up. Some things in it are devilish lies, and some poetical figments; some seem possible and others not; some are for the enjoyment of idiots. There are two main cannons of myth, Irish and Welsh Irish Mythology The oldest of these stories were composed in the pagan Celtic iron age of Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, and passed on in the druidic oral tradition until the coming of Christianity and the decay of the druidic priesthood in the 5th century AD. The stories were then passed on by wandering bards, added to and bits lost, until the first scraps were first written down in a highly confused order with odd legal and historical notes on cow-hides by early Irish Christian monks in the 7th century. The oral tradition continued to grow and mutate, monks kept writing them down, and manuscripts were copied and then lost. These myths are scattered about in several still extant ancient Irish manuscripts written by Christian monks between the 12th and 14th centuries AD, such as The Book of the Dun Cow (LU), The Book of Leinster (LL) and The Yellow Book of Lecan (YBL). Some were written as late as the 18th century. The original pagan myths therefore suffer from varying degrees of Christian contamination.

85. Timeless Myths: Celtic Mythology We have to thank the welsh myths, and to a lesser degree to the Irish, for the legends of King Arthur. While the medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde http://www.timelessmyths.com/celtic/

"O Lady of the Fair Hair, Sing to me of the fair ancient land. Yours divine voice Whispers the poetry of magic that flow through the wind, Like sweet-tasting water of the Boyne. "Girls, forever young and beautiful, Dancing around the broken dun, Where long forgotten heroes sang of victory And drank ales to old memories. "Sing to me one last time, Goddess of the Fair Hair, Before my old ear fail me. Let me see you dance, Before your beauty fade away from my failing sight." Song to the Lady of the Fair Hair from the Book of Heroes We now leave the mild climate of the ancient Aegean, and the cold, forbidding regions of the North. Here, we enter the lush, green land, shrouded in mists of magic and wonders. The land is young yet ancient; beautiful yet intriguing; and something quite magical. We meet people who are fair and noble. Yet when aroused into battle, these people can easily become savage. One can lose their heads, quite literally, at the end of the swords. Here we turn our page to Celtic Mythology Though Celtic myths was not written until eleventh century AD, after the Vikings was driven out of Ireland, their sources, mostly oral traditions, were quite old. Even ancient.

Refusing to acknowledge Roman rule, the Celts were formidable fighters under any circumstances. Exceedingly good at hit-and-run warfare, they were adept at scattering to isolated areas in small groups - taking their Gods with them. The famed Asterix comic strip gives an amusing indication of what the Gaulish contingent of Celts felt about the Romans. Ireland (never conquered by the Romans) became another stronghold, and so did the bits of Britain nobody else much wanted. Wales, for example. They also infiltrated the Orkneys, Baleiric Islands, bits of Scandinavia and the Caucasus. The Celts were doing alright until Christianity came along. The Church nicked some of their Gods for promotional sainthood purposes and thus began the conversion process. Only by building churches on already sacred sites could Celts be converted.

89. Celtic Mythology From Wales And Ireland By Bardic Press Celtic mythology mainly survives in welsh and Irish writings. The collection known as the Mabinogion, or more correctly as the Mabinogi, is the fullest http://www.bardic-press.com/celtic/celtindex.htm

Publishers of Books on Early Christianity, Sufi Poetry, Gnosticism, the Fourth Way, and Celtic and Other Mythology Early Christianity/Gnosticism Sufi Poetry Fourth Way Celtic Mythology Web www.bardic-press.com Bardic Press publishes new and classic works on the mythology of Wales and Ireland, including translations and accessible scholarship. A number of reprints of important works are planned, including The Four ancient Books of Wales by W. F. Skene, Celtic Folklore: Welsh and Manx by John Rhys and The Hibbert Lectures by John Rhys.Two important new works appearing in 2005 are Will Parker's The four Branches of the Mabinogi: Celtic Myth and Medieval reality and Patrick Brown's Tales of the Ulster Cycle. Will Parker's book is a wide-ranging and extraordinarily comprehensive study of the Welsh Mabinogi tales. Patrick Brown's book offers a range of new translations of some of the little known tales of the Irish Red branch cycle. Extensive additional information on the ancient Celts comes from the study of archeology and classical references. The folklore of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Cornwall and the Isle of Man provides a continuation of the mythology and can sometimes help us to understand the earlier material.

Box 672125, Marietta, Georgia 30006-0006 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.

94. Raven In Mythology The other main characteristic of Raven in Irish and welsh myth is that of prophesy. The Morrigan was prone to prophesising, predicting the outcome of battle http://www.ravenfamily.org/nascakiyetl/obs/rav1.html

Raven in Mythology Originally published as "Murders and Unkindnesses" in the Samhain edition of "White Dragon" Samantha Fleming , 1998. Reproduced with the kind permission of the author. For centuries the corvids, ravens and crows in particular ( corvus corax is the Latin name for the common raven and corvus corone for the carrion and hooded crows), have had a special place in the mythology of various cultures. In modern times this fascination has barely diminished. From Edgar Allen Poe's literary classic to the film of James O'Barr's cult graphic novel "The Crow", these birds still exert a powerful hold over the psyche of a significant fraction of the population. The Goths who paint their faces with white make-up and the weekend warriors who expect Raven to take them to the Otherworld to meet the dead do not see the same animal as the farmers who set up decoys in order to shoot large numbers of them every year in late spring. This is, however, typical of a creature that presents a paradox wherever one looks. Corvids are sociable birds. They tend to form social groups, and this can be seen particularly in the case of rooks, which stay in their flocks all year round. Ravens, the largest of the family, reaching as much as 3 feet from beak to tail, form groups as juveniles, pairing off into lifelong monogamous and extremely territorial relationships at around the age of three. The courtship can involve such fun and games as synchronised snow sliding, and, of course, the synchronised flight test. The corvids can be found all over the world, and are the largest of the passeriformae, or songbirds. The common raven is widely distributed throughout the Northern hemisphere, and the adaptability and intelligence of this family have made it extremely successful.

Around the world fantasy writers are drawing more and more from ancient Welsh mythic tales and folklore. What is the secret of their timeless appeal? Kath-Filmer Davies examines the contemporary retellings of the old Welsh stories and explores the way they treat the deepest and most urgent of all human needs - the need to belong. She discusses fantasy novels by popular authors such as Lloyd Alexander, Madeleine L'Engle, Alan Garner and Stephen Lawhead. Historical romances have fantasy elements too - such as those by Sharon Penman, Edith Pargeter and Barbara Erskine. Arthurian literature and films are also reviewed in a discussion of the Celtic notion of the hero and its importance, on a personal level, for the individual reader. The cover-design reproduces the Great Wheel Cross of Conbelin at Margham by Romilly Allen. c. 1910, from Symbolism of the Celtic Cross by Derek Brice (by kind permission of Llanerch Publishers, Felinfach, Lampeter).

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a Story of Celtic Culture and Religion Brian Potts Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was inspired by several aspects of Celtic and Welsh culture. Take the Green Knight himself, who is a classic divine warrior and a living personification of Celtic ideals. Elements of the storyline can be found in ancient Celtic and Welsh mythology. It can then be assumed that the author wrote this poem as a tribute to his heritage and the heritage of his audience. It was modified and updated to suit the period, but the origins of the piece are unmistakably Celtic. First, there is the Green Knight, a model divine warrior of Celtic religion. While there were dozens of divine warrior figures in Celtic culture, most shared common traits, such as unbelievable fighting skill, great strength and immense size. These traits were emulated by the Celts, a people devoted to warfare and single combat. They took tremendous pride in their appearance in battle, with elaborately decorated weapons, shields and breastplates. Interestingly, an altar from Bisley, Gloucestershire has a representation of Corotiacus, where the Celtic god is mounted on a horse carrying a great axe. In several instances, the Celtic warrior gods are shown without helmets and have long curling hair. Obviously, the Green Knight was created from such Celtic influence. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55BC, they followed their policy of

The gods and goddesses in Welsh myths were like the Irish deities, living in Wales, England and Scotland. They inhabited and ruled over the land with mortals. These Welsh deities were powerful rulers of the isle of Britain, establishing mighty dynasties, particularly in Wales and elsewhere. The deities found here, come mainly from the first four tales of the Mabinogion . Though some of the names appeared in other tales in the Mabinogion, as well as some scattered sources of the Welsh texts. Aeron Amathon Aranrhod Arawn ...
