http://www.djames.demon.co.uk/celtic/cr02.htm

Extractions: Mythology The Celtic religion was not a coherent belief system but an amalgam of many superstitions and myths, some of them quite local. Natural phenomina like the sun and moon clearly featured, as did human needs and aggression. The Celtic gods, though regarded as immortal, were numerous and not always very distinguishable from the legendary heroes - a situation consistent with a lack of written record and an oral tradition. In addition, lesser gods in particular tended to be imported from other cultures and enjoy a period of popularity before being displaced by newer imports with similar "responsibilities". Also, during the Roman occupation two effects were evident, though usually very local. The first was the assimilation of Teutonic gods as a consequence of the large numbers of Teutonic tribes enrolled in the "Roman" legions. The second was the tendency for Roman gods to be associated or identified with similar indigenous celtic gods in a kind of Romano-British harmonization. The most universal was probably Cernunnos (the horned one) who was a god of hunting and was usually depicted with stags horns on his head, sitting cross-legged and wearing a torc. The Romans identified him with Mercury. He is shown here on a stone carving found in Paris (he is wearing a torc on each horn) - this being the only surviving image which actually carries a name inscription.

Extractions: Ancient myths and legends hold an important place in both fantasy writing and the real world. Authors have used ancient myths as a basis for their fantastic stories for generations. Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan, was one such author. He used bits and pieces of myths from the Celtic, Norse, Egyptian, and near-east cultures in order to lend his fictional, pre-historical era a sense of realism, and to forge a believable link between a world of sorcery and pre-human monsters and the real world. It can be argued that myths have had a tremendous impact on the development and form of human culture. The ancient stories depict and illustrate how men and women should act and think given certain situations. Our notions of heroes and villians are formed and maintained by myths. Our ideas of success and what is right are held in the stories we tell. Joseph Campbell, in his book "The Hero With a Thousand Faces", proposes that myth holds the key to understanding the deepest and most profound essence of human society and existance. Other people have done an exceptional job of presenting information about ancient myths and legends on the Internet. So I have compiled a list of excelent links to various myth oriented web sites. Most of the links focus on ancient European myths from the Celts and Norse, but some are general mythology links and contain myths and folklore from around the world!

http://www.xs4all.nl/~wichm/myth.html

Extractions: in 1888 the technology became available and in 1900 film language originated. By: Tjitte de Vries Louis (left) and Auguste Lumière Usually the first public filmshow by the brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière on 28 December 1895 in the Grand Café on the Boulevard des Capucines in Paris is considered the date of birth of the cinema. The first program consisted of short one minute subjects taken by Louis Lumière credited as inventor as well as cameraman.(......) A short scrutinage of existing literature raises a number of questions about the veracity of this common conception. We are confronted with two real problems. How to find out what really happened in 1895? How reliable are the historians of established reputation? The history of the cinema was mainly recorded by reporters and historians who were principally concerned in the final product of this venture: the actual films, the actors, directors and producers. The history of the development of technology, photochemics and industry escaped their attention. Therefore to them there was no compelling reason to raise doubts about the Lumière myth. Program of the first Lumière film shows in Londen.

Further Reading This major British Library exhibition traced the West's response to the oldest intellectual challenge facing the human mind: what is the shape and the extent of the earth and of the cosmos which contains it? The problem has been the province of religion, poetry and myth, but in the western scientific tradition it resolved itself into the twin enterprises of mapping the earth and the heavens. The exhibition of more than one hundred maps, books and artefacts, drew on a thousand years of science and art. It showed the progress of scientific knowledge of the earth and the heavens, and also the ways in which art and symbolism have been used to make statements about man's relationship to his world and the mysteries of the universe. Ptolemy's World Map, c. 150 AD.

Extractions: The database is read-only and using an older copy while some serious problems are fixed, sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. The history of English poetry stretches from the middle of the 7th century to the present day. Over this period, English poets have written some of the most enduring poems in European culture , and the language and its poetry have spread around the globe. Consequently, the term English poetry is unavoidably ambiguous. It can mean poetry written in England (and, by extension, the United Kingdom ), or poetry written in English The oldest poetry written in the area currently known as England was composed in Anglo-Saxon , a precursor to the English language that is not something a typical modern English-speaker could be expected to be able to read. In addition, there was a tradition of English poets writing also in Latin and classical Greek . Today's multicultural English society is likely to produce some interesting poetry written in a wide range of other languages, although such poetries are proving slow to emerge. With the growth of British trade and the British Empire , the English language has been widely used outside England. In the twenty-first century, only a small percentage of the world's native English speakers live in England, and there is also a vast population of non-native speakers of English who are capable of writing poetry in the language. A number of major national poetries, including the

Extractions: by Greywolf Email Druidry is an indigenous, earth-ancestor spirituality rooted in the islands of Britain and Ireland. Just as Native American, Maori, Aboriginal and African cultures are understood to have ancient spiritual traditions based on the peoples' connection with the land and their blood and cultural heritage, so people of Northwest European ancestry have Druidry. Its roots stretch back through the veils of history and beyond to the first settlers on Britain's shores after the receding flows of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago, yet only if we look closely at what Druidry is: a spiritual philosophy based on natural law.
