22. Celtic Mythology : Gods, Goddesses, Spirits, Legends From Ireland, Wales And Sco
    Celtic Mythology the Gods of Ireland and Scotland. Introduction The Celts an amazing conglomeration of tribes with remarkable staying power.  
    http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/celtic-mythology.php
    
    Extractions: The famed Asterix comic strip gives an amusing indication of what the Gaulish contingent of Celts felt about the Romans. Ireland (never conquered by the Romans) became another stronghold, and so did the bits of Britain nobody else much wanted. Wales, for example. They also infiltrated the Orkneys, Baleiric Islands, bits of Scandinavia and the Caucasus. It's only a theory, but we feel the Christians may have cut down the trees that produced the Apples of Immortality. This might have been responsible for reducing the status of Celtic Gods to trolls and fairies. These are not immortal - they grow older and smaller but don't actually die. It's all rather sad when you think of LUGH the Shining One reduced to the status of a leprechaun and having to hide his golden investments at the end of a rainbow.

Even ancient.

26. Celtic Mythology - Ancinet-Mythology.com
    AncinetMythology.com provides a reference to the many myths and stories that have been formed by peoples from all over the Earth, throughout all of time.  
    http://www.ancient-mythology.com/celtic/
    
    Extractions: Unlike the well-established religions of Greece, Rome and Egypt, Celtic myth is more localized, with no universal pantheon. References have been found to over 400 Celtic gods and goddesses, many of whom were only recognized by small cults. At one time, the Celts were spread throughout Europe as far as Asia minor (modern Turkey). The Celts even occupied Rome for a time, before the rise of the Roman Empire, and although they were eventually brought into the Roman Empire, the Celtic people maintained their own religious practices even after the spread of Christianity. During the Roman era, Celtic-speaking people inhabited Gaul, a vast area of Europe where France, Belgium, Switzerland and some surrounding areas are now located. Much of the Celtic population merged with Roman and German cultures, while others survived in the modern Celtic nations around the British isles: Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall and Brittany. Some Celtic populations also remain elsewhere in England and Spain, while others migrated to the Americas, in regions such as Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada. Arthur

28. The Arthurian Legend
    The basic myth of King Arthur and its link to Celtic mythology.  
    http://www.ramsdale.org/legend.htm
    
    Extractions: Although there are innumerable variations of the Arthurian legend, the basic story has remained the same. Arthur was the illegitimate son of Uther Pendragon, king of Britain, and Igraine, the wife of Gorlois of Cornwall. After the death of Uther, Arthur, who had been reared in secrecy, won acknowledgment as king of Britain by successfully withdrawing a sword from a stone. Merlin , the court magician, then revealed the new king's parentage. Arthur, reigning in his court at Camelot, proved to be a noble king and a mighty warrior. He was the possessor of the miraculous sword Excalibur, given to him by the mysterious Lady of the Lake At Arthur's death Sir Bedivere threw Excalibur into the lake; a hand rose from the water, caught the sword, and disappeared. Another sword, sometimes mistakenly identified with Excalibur, was drawn from a stone by Arthur to prove his royalty. Of Arthur's several enemies, the most treacherous were his sister Morgan le Fay and his nephew Mordred. Morgan le Fay was usually represented as an evil sorceress, scheming to win Arthur's throne for herself and her lover. Mordred (or Modred) was variously Arthur's nephew or his son by his sister Morgawse. He seized Arthur's throne during the king's absence. Later he was slain in battle by Arthur, but not before he had fatally wounded the king. Arthur was borne away to the isle of

29. The Sacred Fire - Celtic Mythology
    The Mythological Cycles. Ancient Irish history and legends have come down to us through history thanks to the diligent chronicling  
    http://www.sacredfire.net/mythology.html
    
    Extractions: Celtic Mythology The Mythological Cycles Ancient Irish history and legends have come down to us through history thanks to the diligent chronicling of the early Christian monks. The best record of the rich Celtic mythological tradition is contained in the four cycles drawn up by twelfth century Christian scribes: the Mythological Cycle , the Ulster Cycle (also known as the Red Branch Cycle) and the Fenian or Fianna Cycle , and the Kings, or Historical Cycle. Irish myths were probably recorded in the eighth century or earlier, possibly written by the Druids in Ogham . There are few surviving examples of Ogham because this writing was primarily done on bark, or or wands of hazel and aspen. However the legends of the early Celtic people were also passed down through the tradition of storytelling, and it was from this source that the Monks gathered their colorful tales. The early medieval monks rewrote the oral stories in a style that was designed to be read aloud to noble or royal households. When they set themselves the task of constructing a pseudo-history of Ireland, they also recast the ancient myths and legends into a Christian mold. In doing so, they demoted the old gods to mortals, and rewrote the sagas into an almost indecipherable maze of conflicting events.

30. Deanna's World: Celtic Whispers
    Offers a guide to pronouncing Celtic words, as well as a brief description of the main characters in Celtic mythology.  
    http://www.dworldonline.com/celtic.htm
    
    Extractions: The history of the Celts began before information or written records were kept. In what is now Eastern Europe, the Celts seem to have moved west into Austria, Switzerland, France, and modern Germany. During the beginning of the Classical period, which took place about 500 BC, many groups spread over a wide area of Europe, from Scotland to Ireland, and to the southern Mediterranean. They were equipped with both iron weapons and a variety of ornamental arts, which were important to their culture and legacy. By the time that their existence was recorded, the Celts were so numerous that writers named them as one of the four great barbarian peoples in the world. Their union was not that of a nation, but it was more cultural in nature. While they did have kingslike chiefs, or druids, they still had no apparent authority. And although each tribe had its own identity, they were still similar in language, religion, and lifestyle. Celtic language, as defined by the dictionary, is a group of Indo-European languages usually subdivided into Brythonic and Goidelic and now largely confined to Brittany, Wales, western Ireland, and the Scottish Highlands.

31. Animal Symbolism In Celtic Mythology
    Overview article by Lars Nood n, discussing the tie between animals in Celtic and Welsh mythology with fertility and vitality.

    Extractions: This document is readable by you today, almost 14 years after I wrote it and more than 12 years after I put it on the web, because of open formats. In this specific case, the format is HTML 2. Can we say the same thing about word processing documents, spread sheets and other office documents? No, at least not yet. An open format for office documents, based on XML, has been worked out by a consortium of companies, universities and agencies. The consortium includes a very wide range of interests who rely on electronic documents, they include Boeing, IBM, The Society of Biblical Literature, and Ann Arbor's own Arbortext to name a few. The new office document format is called OpenDocument , and can be used by anyone, anywhere, free of charge and for as long as they want. It has been approved by the standards organization OASIS, which coordinated its development and it has been submitted to the International Standards Organization (ISO) for consideration, approved as standard ISO/IEC 23600, and, finally, published. It has to date been implemented in over 30 software packages. Do you want to still have access to today's documents ten years from now? If so, consider signing the

33. Lugodoc's Guide To Celtic Mythology
    An overview of the Welsh and Irish canons.  
    http://www.lugodoc.demon.co.uk/MYTH/MYTH01.HTM
    
    Extractions: Through a monstrous perversion of the Bard's art, Lugodoc has reduced the entire canon of Celtic myth into bite-sized chunks, easily digested by today's 3-minute attention spanned video game-addicted goldfish-minded web-surfing generation. This is not a telling of Celtic myth, only a map. Chronological sense is maintained except where this would ruin the flow of the Celtic knot of interweaving stories. Try too hard to put these in proper order and you will go mad. Myth is not history. Some stories appear under their traditional titles, some I have had to make up. Some things in it are devilish lies, and some poetical figments; some seem possible and others not; some are for the enjoyment of idiots. There are two main cannons of myth, Irish and Welsh The oldest of these stories were composed in the pagan Celtic iron age of Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, and passed on in the druidic oral tradition until the coming of Christianity and the decay of the druidic priesthood in the 5th century AD. The stories were then passed on by wandering bards, added to and bits lost, until the first scraps were first written down in a highly confused order with odd legal and historical notes on cow-hides by early Irish Christian monks in the 7th century. The oral tradition continued to grow and mutate, monks kept writing them down, and manuscripts were copied and then lost. These myths are scattered about in several still extant ancient Irish manuscripts written by Christian monks between the 12th and 14th centuries AD, such as The Book of the Dun Cow (LU), The Book of Leinster (LL) and The Yellow Book of Lecan (YBL). Some were written as late as the 18th century. The original pagan myths therefore suffer from varying degrees of Christian contamination.

In the 4th century BCE their influence and territories covered the length of Europe, stretching from Britain to Asia Minor. Celtic mythology consists of three groups: The Goidelic, including Ireland, the Isle of Man, and the western highlands of Scotland. In language, race, and tradition these form a homogenous block; The Insular Brythonic, including Wales and Cornwall, also inhabited by kindred people with a somewhat similar history; The Continental Brythonic, that is, Brittany.
