This book provides a comprehensive overview of Celtic mythology and
religion, encompassing numerous aspects of ritual and belief.
Topics include the presence of the Celtic Otherworld and its
inhabitants, cosmology and sacred cycles, wisdom texts,
mythological symbolism, folklore and legends, and an appreciation
of the natural world. Evidence is drawn from the archaeology of
sacred sites, ethnographic accounts of the ancient Celts and their
beliefs, medieval manuscripts, poetic and visionary literature, and
early modern accounts of folk healers and seers. New translations
of poems, prayers, inscriptions and songs from the early period
(Gaulish, Old Irish and Middle Welsh) as well as the folklore
tradition (Modern Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Breton
and Manx) complement the text. Information of this kind has never
before been collected as a compendium of the indigenous wisdom of
the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose traditions have endured in
various forms for almost three thousand years.
