Celtic History

Acording to Appian of Alexandria Illyrius, and his wife, Galatea, had three sons, Celtus, Illyrius, and Galas, all of whom migrated from Sicily; and the nations called Celts, Illyrians, and Galatians took their origin from them. Among the many myths prevailing among many peoples this seems to me the most plausible.

The next conquerors of Britain after the Celts were the Romans, who invaded in 43 AD under Emperor Claudius. The Romans established control over most of Britain, which they called Britannia, and incorporated it into their empire for several centuries.

Celtic farmers found entertainment -and a healthy living- in stealing whole herds of their neighbors' cattle.

The heart knot or Celtic hearts are a relatively recent addition to Celtic symbolism. Hearts as symbols of "love" and "devotion" date from the later medieval period but have become an established part of modern Celtic symbolism in the last decade of the 20th century.

The Ancient Irish seem to have practice a number of outdoor sports : running, jumping and ball games like Hurley. Gaming pieces and dice have been found and there are references to a board game using wooden pieces. Two board games called "brandub" and "fidchell" were being played in Ireland about the 7th century A.D and possibly much earlier.

In Irish it's feall / brath

The Celts believed in immortality of the soul and they were one of the first European people to hold such a belief.It was not a theory of reincarnation but a belief based on the fact that when a person died he or she simply changed worlds.This was why the Celts put not only bodies in graves but all the apputenences necesary to sustain life,the notion being that the person would need all this in the otherworld.The Celts seemed to have believed in a constant exchange of souls taking place between this world and the otherworld.Because they believed not only that a death in this world was the means of sending a soul to the otherworld but also that a death in the otherworld was a means of sending a soul to this world,the Celts are said to have mourned birth and to have celebrated death.

In Irish it's "sciathán"

In Scottish Gaelic: sgiath or sgiathan

In Welsh: adain (aden) or asgell

Celtic art is ornamental, avoiding straight lines and only occasionally using symmetry, without the imitation of nature or ideal of beauty central to the classical tradition, but as far as we can understand it often involves complex symbolism. It includes a variety of styles and often incorporates subtly modified elements from other cultures, an example being the characteristic over-and-under interlacing-weaving-which only arrived in the 6th century when it was already in extensive use by neighboring Germanic people. There are three "traditions" of Celtic art, the first being the continental Iron age art mainly associated with La Tène culture which draws on native, classical and (perhaps via the Mediterranean) oriental sources. The second, Iron Age art in Britain and Ireland, draws on the continental tradition while adding distinctive regional styles. The third, the Celtic "renaissance" of the early Middle Ages in Ireland and parts of Britain, is also called Insular art. This third tradition formed the basis for art of the Celtic revival beginning in the late 19th century. It is extremely beautiful in writing, pictures or sculptures.
