What were ancient pagan celtics like?
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.
Which Black magic spell would cause bleeding continuously?
While abnormal bleeding may possibly be caused by misused witchcraft, it usually has medical causes and anyone who bleeds continuously should consult a physician !
With that said, let's get to the magical part. I can think of many spells that could cause someone to bleed. The first one that comes to my mind is a healing spell gone wrong: if an inexperienced witch tries to heal someone and accidentally sends out excessive of inappropriate energy, that may disrupt the person's normal bodily functions and all kinds of symptoms may occur.
Bleeding could also result from deliberately harmful spells. For example, there is an old hex called the kicks and cuts cursewhich causes a person to frequently suffer minor accidental injuries (such as cuts and burns in the kitchen, falling down when walking, etc.) An unethical witch could also cast a spell to mess up a woman's menstrual cycle and increase her blood losses. With manipulative magic, it is even possible to force a person to self-mutilate him/herself.
These are just examples; witches can create new spells to fit their needs, and evil ones can invent very twisted ways to hurt people. Fortunately, magic has its own intrinsic laws, and harmful spells tend to return to the caster and bite his/her butt eventually. Most witches are good people who avoid hexing except for self-defense, and the minority who curse people without good reason have to suffer the backfire of their harmful spells.
