Celtic Mythology

 

Celtic mythology is the romantic and heroic tales from the ancient culture of the Celts.

  

Celtic Mythology is a reflection of the polytheistic religion of the Celtic people. Most of the ancient legends from Celtic countries, like Ireland and Wales, originated before the Christian era. They speak of gods, goddesses, and mythical beings. Most of the tales date from between the Iron Age and the Dark Age in Britain. When the monks came to Ireland and Britain, they recorded many of the native stories and culture. Over time, some of the tales may have been changed to reflect Christian values or icons. Regardless, we are still left with ancient stories that have been retold through the ages.
