Celtic History

The Celts believed in a polytheistic pantheon of gods and goddesses, often associated with nature, fertility, and war, and they placed a strong emphasis on the spiritual world, including ancestors and the afterlife. Rituals and ceremonies were integral to their culture, often conducted by Druids. In contrast, the Romans also practiced polytheism but had a more organized pantheon influenced by Greek mythology, with gods like Jupiter and Mars representing state power and military strength. Roman religion included civic rituals and the worship of deities that underscored their societal structure and imperial authority.

Celts were organized into tribes with a chieftain as the leader. These tribes often had a strong sense of identity and were united by common customs, language, and beliefs. The chieftain held power through a combination of military strength, charisma, and support from other tribal members.

Yes, the Celts did have blacksmiths who were skilled in crafting weapons, tools, and various metalwork. Blacksmithing was an important craft in Celtic society, with blacksmiths highly regarded for their abilities to forge intricate metal objects.

Pilgrims, whether the American Pilgrims or religious pilgrims traveling throughout the world, baked their bread with flour, salt, water and whatever other ingredients they had in ovens or in pans over open fires.

The Celtic countries that have a strong Catholic tradition certainly include Ireland and Brittany, the southern Hebrides of Scotland. The presence in Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Wales less so. Because of Irish immigration many parts of the UK have Catholic populations today however.

Halloween was created by American businesses to fall on the date of the Celtic New Year as there were a lot of Celts in the US. The Celts traditionally did not dress up in costumes etc as this is the American adaptation to create marketing and profit. Halloween is a mix of the Celts celebrating their New Year and the Mexican Festival of the Dead, hence the ghoulish costumes.

The Celtic new year was the last time to feast and make peace with the neighbouring clans, villages and deceased ancestors before the onslaught of winter. As you can imagine you would want all the help you could to get through the below freezing winters in Scotland etc.

Well Some People Say That They Are Celt E.g "Not British Were Celts"

The first Celts existed before Catholicism, so they were no Catholic. Once Catholicism was established, there were Celts still around and some of them did become Catholics.

Actually, the Celts' holiday was called Samhain. And it was believed that dark spirits and ghosts came to the world of the living on Samhain.

The Celts were believers of a Nature Religion. They didn't call themselves Pagan. When the Roman Empire came to the Ireland, they called the country dwellers as Pagans. The word "Pagan" was a slang term those days to put down (degrade) someone lower or uncivilized. Later the word "Pagan" became a word to call the old religion on the country dwellers.

The Celtic people left behind a rich archaeological record. Many Iron Age artifacts have been uncovered, all bearing distinctive markings (swirling lines, stylized faces) that are associated with Celtic traditions. Weapons, stone monuments, and art objects are also commonly found at Celtic archaeological sites, giving us a lot of insight into the lives of this ancient community.

== == The Celts were "barbaric savages" only in the eyes of the Romans, to whom every non-Roman (except perhaps the Greeks) were "barbarians." The Celts had a thriving culture, complete with art, and at one time they were the dominant people of Europe. They never united into a single nation, however, and because of their lack of unity, they were eventually overwhelmed by the Roman Empire. Not all Celts, fell under Roman rule. The Scots, for example, proved to be such fierce foes that the Emperor Hadrian built a wall between Roman-occupied Britain and Scotland to protect their legions against the wild men of the north. Today, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall remain Celtic bastions. Celts are also found in Brittany, France. The Basques in Spain may also be part of the Celtic family tree.

As a tribute to their many gods, the Celts often threw valuables into rivers and lakes, considered to be holy places.

Sidhe is a Gaelic word which means hill which is used incorrectly to refer to faeries because they are reputed to live in hills (or burial mounds). The Seleighe and Unseleighe courts, sometimes spelt Seelie and Unseelie, are groups of trouping faeries. Seelie basically means "blessed" amd Unseelie "unblessed". The Seelie court are beautiful and basically considered good. The Unseelie are basically evil and are supposed to ride across the sky during during or preceeding storms.
