CELTIC DESIGNS Celtic Jewelry by Caveman Concepts Celtic Mythology Gundestrup Cauldron Cernunnos on Gundestrup Cauldron Cernunnos Known in Celtic Mythology as "The Horned One" a Celtic God of fertility, life, animals, wealth, and the underworld. He was worshipped all over Gaul, and his cult spread into Britain as well. In Celtic mythology, Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag and is often with a purse filled with coins. Along with the Goddess of the Moon, He rules over life and death, continuing the cycle of death, rebirth and reincarnation. Cernunnos was depicted on the Gundestrup Cauldron , a bronze vessel created around 120 BC, found in a bog in Denmark. Paleolithic cave paintings found in France depict a stag standing upright or a man dressed in stag costume, suggesting that Cernunnos originated in the most ancient times. Romans sometimes portrayed him with three cranes flying above his head. In Celtic Mythology, Cernunnos (or Herne, as he is also known) is the the Lord, the consort of the Lady, and not even remotely a symbol of evil. The horned Gods of fertility are not in any way associated with Satan or devils. The only thing they seem to share in common is that they are depicted with horns. The fertility Gods of Celtic Mythology actually have far more in common with stags and goats.

19. Faeries Celtic types and their origins, from the Banshee to the Pooka. http://www.timelessmyths.com/celtic/faeries.html

Background Fairy People Origin of the Faeries Types of Fairies Origin of the Faeries Fairy comes from the Old French word faerie . The word has been overused to describe a supernatural being. There is a great deal of difference in classifying a being as a fairy from the medieval literature and those from modern literature, especially those belonging to the Celtic tradition. There are other traditions such as that found in English, German and Slavic folklores. Today, when we think of fairies, we often visualise them as tiny, supernatural beings with wings and glowing with uncommon light in today's children fairy tales. And they also possessed some sorts of strange magical powers, like Tinklebell in the story of Peter Pan or the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. The modern fairies, between the 18th and 20th century, comes from oral tradition before they were transmitted into writing. The fairies are supernatural beings that can be best described by the Greek word - daimon , which means "spirit". They are not divinity, ie. god or goddess, in the usual sense of the word, and yet they are not mere mortal; often, it is easier to classify them as minor divinity. However, if we look at the idea of fairies, then you would find that have been around a lot longer than everyone expects. Perhaps the earliest form of faeries can be found loosely in the mythical beings in Greek mythology, such as the nymphs, satyrs and sileni. The

Then in the fourth century BC the great Celtic migrations from Central Europe pushed out in earnest, and overran the illustrious ancient civilisations on the mediterranean. In 390 BC the Celts became the only ancient civiliation to ever capture Rome; a century later they sacked prestigious Delphi of the Greeks. The Celts had arrived in the history books. Unfortunately, there is little we can guage of their history from their own perspective, but we have many clues, through the historical sources and especially archaeological excavations. For a start, the Celts were a mixture of over 40 tribes who generally shared customs and beliefs, who pushed from central Europe and north into Britain, west into Spain, south into Turkey, but came up against the ever more closely migrating Germanic peoples in the West. Eventually Celtica became trapped in the vice of Roman imperialism and Germanic expansion, and gave way to one and then the other over time.
