Warlike, exuberant and superstitious, the ancient Celts saw
divinities in every facet of life and nature, venerating deities of
the sun, thunder, water, war, healing, hunting, fertility and
death. They possessed a complicated array of concepts and rituals,
a powerful priesthood - the Druids - and a pantheon which included
the goddess-queen Medb and the Morrigan, a sinister war-goddess.
This dictionary contains entries on every aspect of Celtic myth,
religion and folklore in Britain and Europe between 500 BC and AD
400. In parallel with the findings of archaeological research, the
testimony of Classical writers and the earliest recorded versions
of the pagan oral traditions of Wales and Ireland provide us with a
complete record of Celtic lore.
