Did the ancient Celts see their gods in the stars
"The descriptions and the stories of the British gods have hardly come down to us in so ample or so compact a form as those of the deities of the Gaels, as they are preserved in the Irish and Scottish manuscripts.  They have also suffered far more from the sophistications of the euhemerist. Only in the "Four Branches of the Mabinogi" do the gods of the Britons appear in anything like their real character of supernatural beings, masters of magic, and untrammelled by the limitations which hedge in mortals.  Apart from these four fragments of mythology, and from a very few scattered references in the early Welsh poems, one must search for them under strange disguises. Some masquerade as kings in Geoffrey of Monmouth's more than apocryphal "Historia Britonum". Danu , the mother of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and that Beli is the British equivalent of the Gaelic Bilé, the universal Dis Pater who sent out the first Gaels from Hades to take possession of Ireland. With the other family, the "Children of Llyr", we are equally on familiar ground;  for the British Llyr can be none other than the Gaelic sea-god Lêr.. These two families or tribes are usually regarded as in opposition, and their struggles seem to symbolise in British myth that same conflict between the powers of heaven, light, and life and of the sea, darkness and death which are shadowed in Gaelic mythology in the battles between the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomors.

L I V I N G M Y T H S Celtic Myths
Prior to Roman or Christian influence the Celts were not literate. Their myths were passed on orally, largely by bards, until the coming of Christianity in the fifth century onwards. It was the monks who wrote them down, and it is thanks to the monks that so many myths survive today. One might expect Christian monks to have qualms about recording pagan tales, but this does not seem to have been the case. St Patrick, who brought Christianity to Ireland in 432, had his doubts about the old stories until he received a vision in which he was told to respect and record them.

Deities
Some of the myths have been Christianized, especially those recorded in Wales. However, a particular feature of Celtic myths may have prevented this from happening more often: namely, the way in which deities have been euhemerized (given human form), so that, unlike the Greek myths, they are not obviously of a religious nature.
The god Lugh
In the Mabinogion , the main source of British myths, Lugh has become the much more human Lleu Llaw Gyfes, nephew (and possibly son) of the magician Gwydion. He is skilled, and protected by charms, but he is not obviously a god: in fact at one point he appears to be mortal.

Fairy Money and Fairy Gifts in General Fairy Tales and the Ancient Mythology Chapter I. But since the knowledge of our maturer years destroys all that, it is with a degree of satisfaction we can turn to the consolations of the fairy mythology. The beloved tales of old are 'not true' but at least they are not mere idle nonsense, and they have a good and sufficient reason for being in the world; we may continue to respect them. The wit who observed that the final cause of fairy legends is 'to afford sport for people who ruthlessly track them to their origin,' [Saturday Review,' October 20, 1877] expressed a grave truth in jocular form. Since one can no longer rest in peace with one's ignorance, it is a comfort to the lover of fairy legends to find that he need not sweep them into the grate as so much rubbish; on the contrary they become even more enchanting in the crucible of science than they were in their old character.

http://elt.britcoun.org.pl/m_power.htm
British Studies Web Pages Myths, Legends, Fantasy... HOME MAIL EVENTS INFO ... BOOK REVIEWS The Power of Myth The word ‘myth’ has two basic meanings. It may mean an ancient story about superhuman beings, gods and heroes (e.g. Greek, Roman, Egyptian or Celtic myths) or it may refer to something illusory, fictitious or difficult to prove, something which is simply not true. The sentences ‘it was Prometheus who brought fire to people’ and ‘all English teachers speak good English’ are examples of these two meanings respectively. Myth as a story has fascinated people for thousands of years. In old times myths were used to explain unknown phenomena like the cycle of nature or natural disasters, and to justify the existing order like the hierarchical structure of societies. They also reflected common virtues and vices or epitomised numerous wishes and desires of humankind - eternal youth, marital fidelity, unconditional love, undying devotion, true justice. The basic difference between myths and folk tales is that the latter are more concerned with the problems and dilemmas of ordinary people rather than with unsolved mysteries of human existence. It is in folk tales that we are more likely to find wicked step-mothers and ugly sisters, magical spells and supernatural elements while gods and goddesses or heroes and Titans belong to the realm of mythology. Many twentieth century thinkers studied myths in great detail formulating different theories. Greatly influential have been the anthropological studies of Franz Boas, Bronis³aw Malinowski and Claude Levi-Strauss; in psychoanalysis new ground was broken by the writings of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Cultural criticism owes a lot to the French structuralist Roland Barthes and his exposition of the myths of popular culture - see

"The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand."
Cat Faber, The Word of God
very year, right around Halloween, we are treated to an outpouring of what can only be described as "scare" literature telling us all about how the holiday is 'satanic' and evil, and should not be celebrated by Christians. These opinions are backed up with some rather unusual and very frightening fantasies masquerading as historical facts. This article is - not - intended to address whether or not Satan exists, nor to show that 'witches' are all nice, grainola-eating vegetarians and tree-huggers who wouldn't harm a fly, nor is it an attack on Fundamentalist Christianity, but rather a discussion concerning some of the so-called 'facts' offered in some of the anti-Halloween publications. Let's look at four typical tracts circulating around the computer nets:

Elephant lore - in myth, legend, religion and war
Even today the elephant has a prominent place in Buddhism unlike other animals. It is the only animal possessed of grace to carry the sacred reliquary containing the 'Danta-dhatu' (Tooth-relic) of the Buddha, in the annual Esala Perahera in Kandy. All Buddhist temples follow the same procedure in choosing an elephant to carry the relics in procession, as no major Buddhist procession is complete without at least a single elephant, ornately caparisoned to walk majestically through the streets.
‘The torn boughs trailing o'er the tusks aslant,
The saplings reeling on the path he trod;
Declare his might: our lord the elephant, Chief of the ways of God’.
(Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936)

by Ariyadasa Ratnasinghe The life and habitat of the elephant are provocative of wonder and demand our reverence, since both its evolution and influence upon mankind have always been found to be most fascinating, bewitching, enchanting, charming and delightful. The interesting roles it has played in myths, legends, religion, history, folklore and war, notwithstanding its recent prominence in politics; its association with man and the services rendered to him from remote antiquity; the symbolic splendour of its colossal body, let alone flesh, to be balanced on bones; its place in circuses and menageries, in wildlife sanctuaries and zoological gardens and, above all, its graceful and majestic appearance have been well attested, expressed and documented in various works of art and literature down the ages.

"The religion of the Britons appears to have been very much the same as…the Patriarchal religion." -Canon Samuel Lysons, 'Our British Ancestors' (p. 58) The Old Testament Roots of Celtic Mythology FOUNDATIONS OF DRUIDISM IN THE BIBLE The mythology of Druidism is said to have been brought to England in ancient times by Hu Gadarn Hysicion, who came from the east with a party of colonists and built Stonehenge. Who were these Eastern colonists? Historians tell us that Phoenician-speaking peoples colonized the British Isles in early times. The Israelites, a seafaring people, spoke a Phoenician dialect, and the early history of these two peoples is intertwined. The Bible speaks of Israelites sending "ships to Tarshish," or Spain, and Solomon’s navy sailed with the Phoenicians on their trade and colonizing expeditions. (2 Chron. 9:21; Isa. 60:9) Phoenician-speaking peoples, including Israelites, colonized Spain and Britain in ancient times, mining ores such as silver, iron, tin, and lead, as we document in our tract, "Ancient Hebrew Sea Migrations."

British turf labyrinths - an update
Marilyn Clark
Over the last few years I have been fortunate enough to be able to visit all eight remaining English turf labyrinths, as well as the sites of two former ones. For the benefit of both existing and new enthusiasts I am able to present this updated report. Not all are easy to find or easily accessible, but all are well worth the effort involved in seeking them out.
Alkborough
A small village in South Humberside approximately ten miles north of Scunthorpe. The maze, known as 'Julian's Bower' is very well signposted and easy to find. In a picturesque location, overlooking the confluence of the River Trent into the Humber estuary, the maze is 43.5 feet in diameter and of the 'Chartres' type, sunk in a circular hollow. It was rather worn-looking when I visited it in August 1992, following a dry spell, and the edges of the pathways were beginning to crumble. Hopefully, its condition will now have improved.

The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world. Think about how we greet people. In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the word for peace. In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons - that we come in peace. And there are certain symbols which
Picture by Paul Millard people in very different cutures recognise as representing peace. Let's look at the origins of a few of them. The dove The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life. In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolised the end of war.
There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying then their soul would be at peace. And there are legends which say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except for a dove. In Christian art, the dove was used to symbolise the Holy Ghost and was often painted above Christ's head.

Sir Edward Burne-Jones (British, 1833-1898) Biography Visit ArtMagick's Burne-Jones Gallery Edward Burne-Jones was one of the most important members of the second phase of Pre-Raphaelitism in the 19th century. He was a firm supporter of Pre-Raphaelite ideals and a close friend of Rossetti, whom he had first met in 1857 when he had helped him to decorate the walls of the Oxford Union Debating Society with frescos. Under Rossetti's influence he painted a number of highly romantic subjects taken from the Arthurian legends, as well as myths and scenes from the Bible.
Photograph by Barbara Leighton, 1890, of the artist painting The Star of Bethlehem in the garden studio of The Grange, his London house. The painting was commissioned by the Corporation of Birmingham.
View more photos of Burne-Jones
Born in Birmingham, Burne-Jones was originally destined for the ministry but changed course when Rossetti urged him to devote himself entirely to painting. The medieval and mystical elements in the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites clearly appealed to someone like Burne-Jones who had always been fascinated by the mythology of the classics, which he had attempted to bring to life in such medieval romance paintings as The Beguiling of Merlin Fair Rosamund and The Madness of Sir Tristan . Most of Burne-Jones' work was a romantic dream. As he said himself in a letter that he wrote to a friend:
