    Extractions: Questionnaire The following is an extract from one of our information booklets, which is intended to provide a brief summary of the Pagan religions most commonly practiced today, and to give accurate and sensible information about the religion to official organisations, the media, and community services. It may be copied and distributed freely, provided no changes are made to the text, and its authorship is attributed to Pagan Alliance. What is Paganism Brief reading list Paganism is the oldest religion known to humanity. Its origins are obscure, but conjectured to have arisen with humanity's own desire to explore the unknown, and seek unity with the divine force (however that may be perceived). Therefore, Paganism has no founder or founders, no earthly leaders, no prophets, no messiahs, and no saints. The word Pagan is derived from the Latin Paganus, "a civilian", and from Pagus, "a village". This delineates Pagans as those who are from a village, or more commonly, simply country-dwellers. Whilst the majority of Pagans today - like the majority of the population - live in towns, this term accurately describes the Pagan heritage, and the affinity which modern Pagans feel with the natural environment. Thus modern Pagans follow a religion which is as old as humanity itself, but whose practices have been adapted to suit life in the modern world. The concepts which were vital to sustaining life in bygone times - as in the hunter-gatherer, or agricultural, societies - are revered, and their principles have been retained; however, we accept that in practice, our modern lives are sustained in very different ways.

    http://www.greencrown.com/gc/prydworks.html
    
    Extractions: Prydwyn: Workshops and Lecture Presentations In addition to his substantial musical achievements, Prydwyn has amassed an impressive portfolio of academic credentials - a bachelor’s degree in Classics from Vanderbilt University, and master’s degrees in Celtic Studies from the University of Edinburgh and Harvard University - and is currently in the final stages of his doctoral program in Celtic Languages and Literatures at Harvard. Over the course of the past six years he has taught and lectured widely, both at the aforementioned institutions, and at various festivals and other events across the eastern half of the U.S. and beyond. Prydwyn’s workshops and lectures draw their inspiration from his two realms of greatest experience - the mythological and literary legacies of the Celts, and the trials and tribulations of a modern practitioner of the Bardic Arts. He is able to offer a variety of workshops in both of these areas (specifically focused in all cases to fit the individual needs of venue and audience), as well as to provide instrumental and language tuition for individuals or groups. The following is but a representative sample of the types of workshops that Prydwyn has presented in the past: With the current popularity - and thus marketability - of things, and even of the very word, ‘Celtic’, a vast bibliography has grown up over the last decade and a half which purports to offer readers a glimpse of the pre-Christian religions of the ‘Celts’. When all the theorizing and wishful thinking has been stripped away, however, what do we actually ‘know’ - as firm fact - about Celtic Paganism, and, perhaps even more importantly, how and whence do we know it? In this presentation, a comprehensive overview will be offered of the primary sources (literary, archaeological, and ethnographic) available to the serious student of historical Celtic Paganism, along with a brief commentary on the state of Celtic scholarship within the contemporary Pagan community.

    Extractions: The Consequenses Roman Contact had on British Religion Roman contact influenced and indeed, helped create, British Religion in major ways. While in many respects, Roman and Celtic religion combined to form a unique and diverse British religious system, there were several exceptions. One was the persecution and eventual dissolution of Druidic influence. While Celtic Paganism stayed alive, because Druidry was extinguished or pushed underground, it was missing a vital part. Yet, while Roman Paganism came to encompass aspects of Celtic Paganism, a new religion was arriving on the shores of Britain. That religion was Christianity. For the best part of the Roman occupation in Britain, Christianity was a minority religion. However, it managed to dominate the religious traditions in Britain, both old and new, just in time for the Saxon invasion. The Druids filled a highly esteemed and vital role in Celtic society. They acted both as law makers and law enforcers, presided over sacrifices and religious functions, kept the history, mythology, and law system alive through memory and oral tradition, taught the youth, and influenced the nobility. It is no wonder that they posed such a threat to the Romans, yet, there has been much speculation on the specifics of why Rome was so threatened by them. So threatened, that she sought for years to put a stop to Druidic activity and religion. One theory behind the reason for Druidic persecution is a sense of Roman civility, a duty to end the ’Äö"barbarous" practice of human sacrifice, widely described as Druidic. Yet, this reasoning is similar to the attempts of nineteenth century British colonialists in Africa, explaining their supposed main motivations were bringing Christianity to the non-Christian natives there. A noble goal, but a cynical mind can recognize that the Romans had little to gain from this, and therefore little motivation to outlaw Druidic religion on the sole basis of their associations with human sacrifice It may have been a factor of small significance, but it will not stand on its own, especially when one considers the fact that Rome only outlawed human sacrifice among Romans in 97 BCE, not long before Druidic persecution in Gaul began.

    Extractions: Stormfront White Nationalist Community General Theology Agnosticism/Atheism ... PDA View Full Version : Paganism questions 07-17-2005, 10:23 PM I was just curious. I've been reading a lot about paganism over the last year or so; mostly the beliefs of Germanic and Celtic pagans, since that's who my ancestors were. What type of paganism do you practice? When and why did you decide to become a pagan, if you don't mind me asking? Why: We had a bad house fire that a member of the family set in purpose to kill its occupants in '92. After that, I questioned God and all that jazz. A year later, my grandmother died, leaving me all her books. Most of those books were about paganism, witches, the burning times, etc. I did more research on my own.

48. Why Wicca Isn't Inherently Celtic
    Was there more than one form of celtic paganism? The Gods of celtic paganism are individuals who are the ancestors and reflections of the people.  
    http://www.tangledmoon.org/wiccanotceltic.htm
    
    Extractions: There are many modern people who are finding fufillment in following the ancient religion of the Celts. But what is Celtic religion? When we refer to the Celtic peoples and their religion we are talking about what existed in Gaelic, Gaulish, Brythionic and other Celtic religions during the golden age of the Celts. This would be from 400 BCE to roughly 1300 BCE. While that date includes the beginnings of Celtic Christianity (which is almost a religion in and of itself), in this we will only be discussing Pagan Celtic theology. The pagan roots of Celtic spirituality has existed longer than Christianity. Unfortunately, much of what was known about classical Celtic pagan religion was either lost or combined in with Celtic Christianity, and so much of what we have to draw on is from Christian or other non-Celtic texts, and the wealth of knowledge contained in Celtic Mythology. Was there more than one form of Celtic Paganism? Undoubtedly, based upon the extreme diversity between the tribal Celts themselves. The other reason for the marked differences in regional Celtic religion is, of course, the influence of outside peoples through trading and invasion. Of course many customs and religious practices of neighboring or conquering tribes were incorporated into the Celtic tribes of the area, and through time spread to other Celtic nations as well. Before I go on, I feel I must state again that this article is by no means an attack or "debunking" of the religion known as Wicca. Wicca is indeed a valid and powerful path for those who truthfully walk it and understand it. However, there is an increasing body of people who believe that Wicca is the descendant of the religious ways of the Gaelic, Welsh, Scottish or other Celtic peoples (or 'Celts' as a general label). While perhaps parts of the Celtic Pagan tradition have been incorporated into Wicca, Wicca is not inherently Celtic, which can be shown though historical sources and through a general comparison of the two religions.

Pilgrim Place Bookstore Coffeehouse is located in Cincinnati Ohio in an old Catholic Church and Franciscan Friary. The church and friary are no longer a Rc parish but are now an ecumenical center for community renewal and spirituality. I am interested in hosting events with speakers, forums, and organizing retreats related to Celtic spirituality. Ten years ago I started a non profit called Soul Friends (anamchara?) and I have a large celtic painting at Pilgrim Place that is based upon that theme. Please refer others to us as a place for contemplation and some refelction on the way of Celtic spirituality. If you know of any persons in the greater Cinti area please tell them about our plans to develop a first rate Celtic spirituality section.

50. Druids For Jesus!
    the curious position where a clearer grasp of celtic paganism may come to us via to Romanoceltic paganism, which had absorbed much druidic thought.  
    http://ipc.paganearth.com/diaryarticles/bonus/druid/druid7.html
    
    Extractions: Druids for Jesus! What, you might well ask, is an article on Christianity doing in a Pagan newsletter? The answer lies in the wonderful world of heresy. Pelagius was born in Ireland (though some contend Britain) in about 350ce. He is next heard of in Rome, where he has become a monk. An active philosopher and preacher, Pelagius spread his ideas far and wide. However, they met with much resistence from the Vatican hierarchy. Eventually Pelagius was summoned to answer charges of heresy. His crime? Well, according to his accusers his doctrines were more druid than Christian. Tragically we have no written account of druid theology from their own hand, only hints and suggestions in myths and observers accounts. We find ourselves in the curious position where a clearer grasp of Celtic Paganism may come to us via the outlawed philosophies of a defrocked monk. There are two factors that need establishing. Firstly, were the charges against Pelagius justified or merely vindictive? Secondly, if he really was espousing druid thought, is it possible to disentangle the Pagan elements from the Christian? If he had been born in 4th century Britain, he is unlikely to have met too many druids ~ though he almost certainly would have been exposed to Romano-Celtic Paganism, which had absorbed much druidic thought. If he was of Irish birth, he had a very high chance of encountering druids and their lay followers.

The book includes not only black and white pictures of the cards and their meanings, but also easy to read stories to help you remember what the cards mean. Some of the most popular tarot spreads are also included. Another book that is a good reference for spreads is Buckland's "Secrets of Gypsy Fortunetelling." When I first saw the pictures of the cards, I knew I had to have them. The cards are absolutely gorgeous and the two years it took to design them was well worth it. They are based mostly in Celtic Paganism and each card includes a place that was sacred to the Celts. The computer generation combined with photos create the most beautiful cards I have ever seen. Now anywhere I go, I get compliments on my cards.

    http://wildideas.net/cathbad/exnemeton/narrative-and-land.html
    
    Extractions: Why Celtic Paganism cannot be exported from a Celtic country. Honourable companions, From a perspectival attitude, I must affirm that spiritual experiences through the landscape and climate are available anywhere, to anyone. Yet the spiritual experiences available to one who lives and travels in a Celtic territory are of a kind that cannot be had anywhere else. It may even be claimed that the very landscapes themselves by their presence, spiritually or "merely" perspectivally, suggested the stories that are told about them and the heroes and gods who lived on them. With this in mind, it is possible to understand that my argument is not only based on perspective but also on narrative. Someone might answer that even if one does not live in a Celtic land, surely one could gain enormous spiritual inspiration from Celtic storytelling. Again, my point is not to disagree, but to draw attention to how incomplete one¹s understanding and appreciation of the stories would be if one does not live in a Celtic land.  Before I moved to Ireland, I used to read Lady Augusta Gregory¹s book Gods and Fighting Men with the kind of interest and attention to detail that one might have when approaching a religious text‹surely this wasn¹t Gregory¹s hope for its reception, but I have found it inspirational this way nonetheless. However, I normally skipped through the sections where she gives lists of Ireland¹s most important lakes or other landscape features, as I regarded such lists as tedious and not particularly necessary. As I went travelling through Ireland and was able to see some of these places for myself, such passages suddenly became very important. It was comforting and uplifting to know that Lough Corrib, only a few short miles to the north of Galway City, where I now live, is one of the chief lakes of Ireland.

    Extractions: Royal sacrifice and a Mercian king Penda, a seventh-century king of Mercia, was a noted regicide. Indeed, his other achievements - his military campaigns and a crafty and unlikely alliance with the British king Cadwallon were instrumental in carving out Mercia as an independent kingdom and establishing it as a power to be reckoned with - were almost completely overshadowed by his reputation as a slayer of kings. As Penda was a pagan, and his alleged victims all Christian, it comes as no surprise to find that medieval chroniclers, mostly monks or Christian nobles, viewed his reign and deeds with horror and denigrated him at every opportunity. The reputation of his ally Cadwallon, himself a Christian, suffered by association: in his
