Celtic Mythology

God of course

The Picts are the original inhabitants of what became Scotland. The Romans called them the 'Caledonia' or 'Painted Ones'. The Scots were a Celtic tribe from what is now Northern Ireland, the 'Scotti'. The Scotti moved to the Argyle region of Scotland and slowly 'bred out' the Picts. The country eventually became known as Scotland.

From my understanding and research, the Celtic (pronounced with a hard 'C" Keltic) religion is/was a pantheistic religion characterized by a form of nature worship with two primary deities. CERNUNNOS the horned god worshiped in the Winter and thanks to Pope Innocents, sometime in the 12th, became identified with the Christian Satan and DAMARA a fertility goddess (some say Andarta) worshiped in the Spring. There are/were however, many minor deities much like in the Greek "Mythology".

Firstly let me say it is Vishnu not Visha.

Vishnu is the second god in the Hindu triumvirate. The other two being Brahma and Shiva. They are responsible for the creation, upkeep and destruction of the world. Brahma is the creator and Shiva the destroyer of the universe whilst Vishnu is the preserver and protector. His role is to return to earth in troubled times and

restore the balance of good and evil.

Vishnu as been incarnated nine times up til now but Hindu's believe he will be re incarnated again for the last time to close the end of the world.

Vishnu's followers or worshippers are called Vaishnava and they follow only Vishnu so Vaishnavism is monotheism.

He is particularly associated with light especially the sun.

Vishnu is represented as having a human body with blue skin and four arms. He always carries four objects in his hands which represent the things he his responsible for. The objects are1) The Conch: the sound it produces om represents the primeval sound of creation. 2) The Chakra or disc is a symbol of the mind. 3) The Lotus Flower an example of glorious existence and liberation.4) The Mace which represents mental and physical strength.

Vishnu is presented either standing upright on a lotus flower with his consort Lakshmi close by or reclining on the coils of a serpent with Lakshmi massaging his feet, and surrounded by a milky ocean.

Vishnus nine incarnations are 1) Matsya - fish 2) Kurma - turtle 3) Varaha- pig or boar 4) Narasimha - half lion half man 5) Vamana - dwarf sage with the ability to grow 6) Parasurama - hunter/ fierce man 7) Rama - greatest warrior and ideal man 8) Krishna - Mentally advanced man 9) Buddha - the all knowing one.

Kalki is the next reincarnation expected at the end of this present age of decline, as a person on earth seated on a white horse.

His consort Lakshmi is the goddess of success and wealth.

Well, being irish, there are a lot of mythical creature, but anyone can believe whatever they want Umm that's not what I'm asking, I need some creatures because I'm entering a drawing contest and it must be Irish.

We know very little about how the ancient Celts worshipped. Each Celtic society seems to have had its own pantheon, and their were many local deities who were not worshipped universally even within a society. On the other hand, there were a handful of deities worshipped in more than one such society who had similar names and functions - Lugh, Brigid and Ogma being examples. In addition, the various Celtic mythologies tended to resemble one another in their basic themes. We know almost nothing about ancient Celtic rituals except that they were probably presided over by druids. Mistletoe reportedly figured in at least one Celtic rite. The ancient Celts may or may not have practiced human sacrifice; there is controversy on the subject. However, there is archeological evidence of animal sacrifice. A complete picture of how the ancient Celts lived requires extended study and is beyond the scope of this answer.

I do not precisely know the specific answer, yet on that subject, they DID believe in talking with the Spirits of the deceased IF the spirit was good, and also they prophesied about The Lord Jesus Christ, and when the word was heard from people fleeing from Jerusalem, about HIM, the Celts embraced Christianity. The proof is about if we look at Ireland, how Christian they are. If the Celts had rejected Christianity, there would be very few Christians in Eire, Ireland. I don't know what they thought about spirits in control of all aspects of existence but I doubt it. They were well aware of the existence of Heaven, about Spiritual merit and debt, and about the Heavenly Angels and messengers. They did believe in Spiritual Messengers, such as Guardian Angels.

The Celtic religion never really was ended since Ireland was never invaded by the Romans and Scotland was only briefly invaded several times. But the first instance of trying to destroy theie religion started with Julius Caesar's campaigns in Gaul as he identified that the main religious leaders were the Druids and they were the cohesive part of the Celtic way of life. The final end of Celtic religion in Roman Britain occured when in AD 61, Suetonius Paulinus crossed the Menai Strait over to Anglesey (or Mona as the Romans called it) and killed all the druids there giving no quarter to men, women or children that were there, effectively ending Celtic resistance to Roman rule in Britannia.

Celtic religion started before Jesus had even come, they have been around forever, but the longer they go on the more they change and are forgotten.

Think what Bible stories mean to Christians and you have your answer.

A group of Celtic peoples inhabiting Ireland and parts of the UK. The Gaels were originally the Celtic group who inhabited Ireland. They later spread to Britain, particularly Scotland and the Isle of Man. These are the three places where Gaelic languages are spoken. Anyone from Ireland, Scotland or the Isle of Man might be described as a Gael. In modern Ireland, 'Gael' is sometimes also used to describe someone who plays one of Ireland's most popular sports, the national sports of Gaelic football and hurling.

In british Celtic mythology,Habren was the daughter of Locrinus and his mistres,Estrildis. She and her mother were drowned as an act of vengeance by Gwendolen,the estranged wife of Locrinis,who had met his death in a battle against his wife.Gwendolen,although the cause of Habrens death,felt that the fact that Habren was Locrinus's daughter should not be forgotten and ordered that the river in which she was drowned should from then on bear the name of Habren.In Roman times the river was known as Sabrina and in modern times it is known as the river Severn.

The Celts, like the Germanic tribes, believed that a pillar or tree held up the sky, and that the end of the world would come with the falling of this pillar/tree.

Yes and no. Irish Mythology is a subset of Celtic Mythology. Celtic Mythology also includes Scotish, Welsh, and British Mythologies. But Irish Mythology is also included.
