Learn more about Celtic Paganism…
One of the great things about Paganism is that aside from the rule of hurting noone and trying to be the best person you can be, there are no hard and fast rules. What this means is that you can incorporate deities, rituals myths and more from any tradition you like! Most Pagans do worship some gods and goddesses from the Ancient Celts and some Pagans are exclusively Celtic Pagans. Cerridwen or Brigit (Welsh and Irish names respectively) is one of the most popular Celtic Pagan goddesses. The Sabbats of Imbolc, Beltane, Samhain and Lughnasadh are all directly derived from Celtic tradition.
Much of Pre-Christian Celtic knowledge has been lost, and most of what we have comes to us through myths, poetry and legends, and this really allows even greater freedom for you to interpret and take what you like from them. I’ve got lots of lovely Silver Celtic Jewellery at the shop as well as some great books on the Celts and Celtic Paganism, and I’ve just created a new squidoo lens all about Celtic Paganism and also about the Tree of Life which is a popular symbol in many Northern Traditions, and I’ve discussed a little of the Norse history behind it. Please take a look and tell me what you think!

Beautiful Celtic woman at Hastings? That’s the cover from the Morgan Llewellyn book isn’t it, so I don’t think that Harold’s Queen Eadgth, daughter of Aelfric of Mercia, was in any way Celtic.
