MacQuarrie Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. By Leslie Ellen Jones. Enfield Lock: Hisarlik, 1999. 249 pp. 25 [pounds sterling] (hbk). ISBN 1-8743-1227-3 This book is a welcome study of the pagan elements of Celtic culture, especially as many recent books on Celtic studies fall into two rather limited categories. The first is made up of those books by academic Celticists which have largely focused on the Christian themes and content of Celtic literature; the second is made up of those books by non-scholars who seek to reconstruct a pagan Celtic religion by cobbling together dated translations and interpretations of the literary and archaeological evidence. An example of the first category is John Carey's punctiliously researched and carefully presented King of Mysteries: Early Irish Religious Writings (Four Courts Press, 1999). Examples of the second category are rife; they are the sorts of books that most often appear in Celtic Studies sections of large, general booksellers. They are written, in large part, by neo-pagans for neo-pagans and for the general public, which means a lot more people read them than the more scholarly works.

(Until recently I didn't realize Witches were supposed to be only duotheistic or even monotheistic ie, honoring just a Lord and Lady, or just the Goddess. I guess I just didn't read that book. Polytheism has always had a strong appeal to me since discovering the various Pagan paths.) I'm not a Celtic Witch. None of the books or material or whathaveyou concerning Celtic Wicca or Celtic Witchcraft really ever spoke to me. More on that below. But now I find myself on a path into Celtic Paganism. Call it Reconstructionism, Traditionalism, or whatever (there's a large debate out there in the community over terminology, and so I'll wait until the dust settles from the rolling heads of those wiser than myself). For me, it is distinct from Wicca/Witchcraft, and I practice it as such. Separately, although both must infuse the spirit of the body I inhabit.

For the purposes of this article, I am referring to Paganism as practiced in northern Europe prior to the coming of Christianity and by those of the modern world who are trying to re-discover and re-establish spiritual links that have been surpressed for hundreds of years. My story is much like hundereds of other Neo-pagans: I grew up in a lower/middle-class family in a Christian country. I grew up hearing that the version of Christianity my parents practiced was the only true religion and that anyone who did not worship as we did was doomed to eternal torment. Futhermore, it was my duty as a "good" Christian to try to convince others of the error of their ways and get them to accept the "true" gospel.

Agallamh na Paganach, Colloquy of the Pagans The Nemeton-L FAQ File created: May 1995 (by Erynn) File updated: January 1998 and again July 2002 (by Cathbad) Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions file. We hope that this document will help to answer some of your questions about the Nemeton-L list and about Celtic Paganism and Druidry in general. Agallamh na Paganach is the joint effort of many of the members and friends of Nemeton-L. It is updated periodically with new information items of Celtic and Druidic interest. Check the date at the top of the file to see when it was most recently revised. We're glad that you are interested in our list, and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us. Erynn Laurie Listowner Emeritus +What is Nemeton-L? A Nemeton is a Celtic sacred grove. This Nemeton is an email discussion list for Celtic Pagans and Druids, intended as a place where we can gather to talk about the history, mysticism and religion of the Celtic people. While it has a primarily scholarly focus, inspiration and intuition are also welcome guides. The list was started during the summer of 1994. You do not have to be a Celtic Pagan or a Druid to subscribe to the list; all we ask is that you respect our beliefs while you are with us. While almost everything of interest to Celtic Pagans is on topic for the list, Wicca and Shamanism usually are not. There are many places on the net where these two topics are discussed, and we want to preserve some space for the discussion of specifically Celtic forms of Paganism. Discussion of the shamanic aspects of Celtic Paganism is on topic, but please try to remain within the realm of the Celts and not stray too far into Siberia.

Celtic Church Links Introduction O, King of the Tree of Life The blossoms on the branches are your people The singing birds are your angels The whispering breeze is your Spirit. Ancient traditional prayer After the fall of the Roman Empire, an indigenous form of Christianity developed in the British Isles which was regarded by Rome with great mistrust. It celebrated the divine spirit in all living creatures and plants as well as in the human soul. Its legendary figures were hermits who lived in the forests, befriending the animals and birds and pilgrims who traveled into remote areas to spread the gospel. To both pagan and Christian Celts, religion was not removed from the activities of every day life. Celtic paganism recognized both gods and goddesses who appeared in nature as trees, animals or natural forces. The main places of worship were in holy hills, springs, rivers, lakes, trees and in forests. Pagan Celtic spirituality embraced a connection between the material world and "otherworldly" realms. The transition from pagan practices and ideas of worship to Christianity was a moderate process which culminated in nature being seen as the handiwork of God rather than something with divine power in its own right. Over the years, Celtic ancestral holy places were altered gradually by Christian worship. Aspects of Celtic paganism that were not unacceptable were absorbed, while other elements were discouraged. The local legends of the old gods, goddesses and heroes were gradually reworked as episodes from the lives of Christian saints. Thus, the new Christian religion did not disrupt traditional society, but maintained its continuity and stability. The main change from paganism to Christianity came from the exclusion of women from most of their traditional religious roles. In the Christian church there was no place for priestesses or goddesses.

Online Resources THE CELTS The Celts dominated Western Europe for well over a thousand years. But it is only recently that the importance of a Celtic influence on the cultural, linguistic and artistic development of Europe has been recognized. The Celts were not just one race or ethnic group. They were a group of tribes that had similar languages, cultures and religions. But, the Celtic influence has almost completely disappeared today except in places such as Wales, Brittany, Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The Celts transmitted their culture orally, and seldom put their history or facts into a written form. This accounts for the extreme lack of knowledge about them prior to their contact with the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. They were generally well educated, particularly on topics such as religion, philosophy, geography and astronomy. The Romans often employed Celtic tutors for their sons. The bravery of the Celts in battle is legendary. They often spurned body armour, going naked into battle. Celtic society was typically more equal in terms of gender roles. Women were on more or less equal footing as men, being accomplished warriors, merchants and rulers.

Mystery and Magic of the Celtic Tradition by Carl McColman The Druids. Stonehenge. Faery Mounds. Sacred trees. Mistletoe. Newgrange. Few cultures have a deeper or richer spiritual tradition than do the ancient Celts. If you are a spiritual seeker, you might find the Celtic tradition meaningful for your journeyregardless of your ethnic background. Who are the Celts? Well, they're the people whose descendents still live in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittanyand indeed, all around the world, for Celts are great pilgrims and travellers, and in recent centuries have moved in vast numbers to places like Canada, America, and Australia. Literally millions of people in the English speaking world have at least some Celtic ancestry. Here in America, many Scotch-Irish immigrants settled in the South, living in both English and Indian communities. The influence of the Celts can still be heard in the folk music of our region, much of which still shows such a strong Celtic influence that musicologists from the British Isles come to America to study our folk traditions! But on a larger, metaphysical level, the Celts are the guardians of a great ancient spiritual tradition, that was almostbut not completelydestroyed by the Roman Empire and the Christian conquest of Europe. That tradition goes by many names: European shamanism, Druidism, the Faery Faith. It survives in modern Wicca, the religion of witchcraft. It survives even in the Celtic form of Christianity, which is the most mystical and earth-friendly branch of the Christian religion. And today, more and more people are dedicating their spiritual lives to reviving Druidism and other forms of Celtic Paganism, ensuring that the timeless wisdom of this mighty and proud people will survive for generations to come.

However, other explanations are also possible. The paper demonstrates this by showing how some "inexplicable" facets of the Grail legend that are usually ascribed to Celtic paganism may have their origin elsewhere, including in Christianity, secular symbolism, Bede's "Life of Saint Cuthbert" and the Lives of St. Kentigern," and/or medieval history and geography. It also examines whether the historical, geographical and hagiographical sources were used consciously or unconsciously. The paper concludes that, when faced with "inexplicable" elements in a Grail legend, scholars are often too quick to find connections, often very tenuous ones, to Celtic paganism.

Pagan Beliefs Deity is both imminent and transcendent and therefore a part of everyone and everything. Deity is perceived as male, female and androgynous, depending on the tradition All expressions of deity are acceptable; God, expressed as the male aspect, Goddess, expressed as the female aspect Pagans do not believe that an absolute good and an absolute evil exists, they believe all things exist in there own place and extremism does not have a place within the philosophy Most pagans believe in reincarnation, cyclical life patterns do not end cease to with death of the physical body. There exists within the pagan religion no concept of heaven or hell Northern Pagan traditions have a belief in a heaven and hell like realm but unlike Christian beliefs, The pagan " Hell" Is not a place of damnation.

Any input would gladly be welcomed. ~site map~ Celtic Paganism Yule Ostara ... Druid Course and Outline Tradition for December/January 2001/2002: Celtic Paganism PRESENT: The term “Celtic Paganism” is not a specific tradition, but rather a collection of several different traditions. Celtic Paganism envelops Druidism, Celtic Shamanism, the Faerie tradition, Celtic Wicca and even Celtic Christianity. The way it is presently practiced is primarily derived from the ancient pre -Christian Celtic beliefs of Gaul and the British Isles. Many neo-Celtic Pagan worshippers continue with the ancient festivals such as Yule, Samhain and Beltane. Today's Celtic paths are part of a Neo-Pagan revival, focusing on nature and healing with group and individual rituals that honor the not only the earth, but the deities as well. Most are very eclectic, and hold to the stories and tales that remain from ancient days. HISTORY: The Celts of old were warriors, encompassing an area that spanned Ireland, Britain, Scotland Italy and Wales. If we are to believe reports by Caesar then we would think of the Celts as bloodthirsty barbarians. In truth the Celts were no worse then warriors of any other nation. Perhaps Caesar thought them to be barbarians because the Celts did not fight in organized armies like the Romans, but rather in packs, silent and calculating like wolves. The fact that Caesar wrote his reports on the Celts and the Druids while he was trying to conquer them makes his reports unreliable to say the least.
