| | Celtic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, the apparent religion of the Iron Age Celts. | | | In contrast, those Celtic peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of the British Isles) did transmit at least vestigial remnants of the mythologies of their Iron Age forebears, which were often recorded in written form during the Middle Ages. | | | It is therefore possible that Celtic society had, in addition to the ritualistic and thaumaturgical religion of the druids, a shamanic element of ecstatic communication with the underworld. |

| | Celtic religion taught the reincarnation of all individual souls, and the appearance of divine beings on Earth. | | | Ancient Celtic religion, that underpinned every aspect of everyday life, was nature-venerating and polytheistic, recognizing many levels of supernatural beings and divinities, female as well as male. | | | Most of the ancient skills and wisdom of these men are known still, underlying contemporary Celtic spirituality, that is the synthesis of Celtic Spirituality, that is essential for a continuing, living tradition. |

| | Celtic spirituality has become popular for its connection between life, earth and faith, and is part of a wider revival of Celtic culture which includes Irish pubs and dancing and some aspects of New Age spirituality, as well as orthodox Christianity. | | | In Celtic faith there is a sense of the beautiful and the poetic, of sacred space and the sacredness of space, of the earthly human and the reality of spiritual power. | | | However Celtic faith is the soil out of which Scottish Christianity grew, and it is a ground-swell of spiritual renewal today that includes, but is far from limited to, Reformed traditions. |

| | Celtic religion featured many female deities such as mother goddesses and war goddesses. | | | The number three was sacred to the Celts, and deities were sometimes portrayed in groups of three, or as having three heads or faces. | | | The Celts also believed that it was dangerous to name a sacred thing by its correct name, the result being that sacred things are often referred to in a roundabout way. |
