Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, apparently the religion of the Iron Age Celts. Like other Iron Age Europeans, the early Celts maintained a polytheistic mythology and religious structure. Among Celts in close contact with Ancient Rome, such as the Gauls and Celtiberians, their mythology did not survive the Roman empire, their subsequent conversion to Christianity, and the loss of their Celtic languages. It is mostly through contemporary Roman and Christian sources that their mythology has been preserved. The Celts peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels, Picts and Brythonic tribes of Great Britain and Ireland) left vestigial remnants of their forebears' mythologies, put into written form during the Middle Ages.

ISBN: 978-1-57863-397-5 It dispenses with all the nonsense in other books and gets straight to the point, admitting that most of the wisdom of the druids has been lost, but does its best to reconstruct it. Answered by Pastor Thaddeus Winthrop - Mon Nov 3 17:52:16 2008 was there a "Shiva" in Celtic mythology? Its supposed to be about women made from ice or something similar. Q. I'm asking because I read somewhere that in Celtic Mythology there was a character called Shiva, who was a woman built from ice or at least Ice based wanted to know if it was true. I'm aware of Hinduism's Shiva but not the Celtic one. Asked by Ajescent - Fri May 12 20:20:39 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A.
