This is not a telling of Celtic myth, only a map. Chronological sense is maintained except where this would ruin the flow of the Celtic knot of interweaving stories. Try too hard to put these in proper order and you will go mad. Myth is not history. Some stories appear under their traditional titles, some I have had to make up. Some things in it are devilish lies, and some poetical figments; some seem possible and others not; some are for the enjoyment of idiots. There are two main cannons of myth, Irish and Welsh Irish Mythology The oldest of these stories were composed in the pagan Celtic iron age of Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, and passed on in the druidic oral tradition until the coming of Christianity and the decay of the druidic priesthood in the 5th century AD. The stories were then passed on by wandering bards, added to and bits lost, until the first scraps were first written down in a highly confused order with odd legal and historical notes on cow-hides by early Irish Christian monks in the 7th century. The oral tradition continued to grow and mutate, monks kept writing them down, and manuscripts were copied and then lost. These myths are scattered about in several still extant ancient Irish manuscripts written by Christian monks between the 12th and 14th centuries AD, such as The Book of the Dun Cow (LU), The Book of Leinster (LL) and The Yellow Book of Lecan (YBL). Some were written as late as the 18th century. The original pagan myths therefore suffer from varying degrees of Christian contamination.

Camelot Ltd. P.O. Box 674884, Marietta, Georgia 30006-0006 Phone: WELSH AND CELTIC MYTHOLOGY Wordsworth, the poet, complained that not one English mountain "...though 'round our sea-girt shore they rise in crowds..." had been "...by the celestial Muses glorified...." But, thanks to the scholars who have unveiled the ancient Gaelic and British mythologies, and to our own religion of Y Tylwyth Teg, such is no longer true. On Ludgate Hill in England once stood temples to the British Zeus. A mountain not far from Bettws-y-Coed, Wales was the British Olympus, the court and palace of our ancient pantheon. The stories have lived in legend with the gods portrayed as kings of ancient Britain reigning in the fabulous pre-Roman past; such as Ludd, founder of London; Brennius, who conquered Rome, and many others. They lived on as long-dead saints of the early churches in Wales and Britain whose wonderful adventures are only those of their namesakes, the Old Gods of Prydain, told anew. The elemental powers of earth and fire, and the spirits who haunted the streams and winds appear again as kings and saints in the Welsh stories. To trace these kings, saints and princes to the powers of earth, water, air and fire, and to reveal the Pagan deities under the Christian romance trappings of good King Arthur and his Knights, will be one of the objectives of this lesson.

Email Gwydion Gods of Ancient Wales and the Celtic Britons [credits] by John Patrick Parle A common temptation is to think that civilization reached Great Britain through the vehicle of Roman occupation. But Celtic civilization existed in Britain centuries before the Latins' arrival, and before the Celts, societies existed in Britain sophisticated enough to build Stonehenge. The mythology of the Celtic Britons harkens back to a time before there was an England (that is, before the invasion of Angles and Saxons brought Germanic-speaking tribes to Great Britain). The Celtic Briton myths are centered mostly in Wales and are written in Welsh, a Celtic language. One can easily speculate that the deities of Welsh mythology once had a broader appeal throughout Britain, as has the mythic Celtic mortal from the region known to us as King Arthur. The pantheon of Welsh gods and goddesses came largely from two mythic families: the Children of Dôn and the Children of Llyr. Dôn was a goddess of the sky, and Llyr was a god of the sea. Charles Squire speaks of a struggle and opposition of these two divine families of the sky and of the sea. He envisages a general conflict of the powers of the sky/light/life versus the sea/darkness/death.

Email Gwydion Celtic Gods and Heros: Introduction to Celtic Mythology [credits] by John Patrick Parle Youngsters of school age almost effortlessly learn about the gods and heroes of Greek and Roman mythology. Names like Zeus, Hercules, Diana, Ulysses, Mercury, Venus, and others become widely familiar. Paintings, popular movies, and books trace their stories for enjoyment and enrichment. Most people even know something of Germanic mythology from films about the Vikings or the operas of Wagner. Thor, Odin, Siegfried, and the Valkyries are well-known, and in the English language, four of the seven days of the week are named after German gods. Well, a wonderful surprise awaits Americans and others of Irish, Welsh, and Scottish descent. A Celtic mythology of broad dimensions and rich quality exists, recounting the heroic stories of ancestral peoples of some 2,500 years ago. This Celtic mythology has hundreds of characters and is perhaps even more fantastical than Greek and Roman myths. And lovers of ancient stories who are not of Celtic descent will no doubt appreciate the many splendid Celtic myths, which for most are relatively unknown. For a thousand years of antiquity, the Celtic myths were in the domain of an oral tradition, not yet reduced to writing, and told to the members of each generation by bards, the Celtic poets and lyric story-tellers. Then, sometime after 500 A.D., Irish monks and their Welsh counterparts began capturing the Celtic myths of old on parchment and paper. The Irish monks applied the alphabet of the Romans to the Irish Gaelic language and diligently recorded the mystical stories of their ancestors in a Celtic tongue. In doing this, according the P.B. Ellis, the Irish Celts created Europe's third oldest literature, behind Greek and Latin.

Learning Medieval Welsh Last updated 01/14/2004 I'm posting this FAQ, not because I'm an expert teacher (I've never taught Welsh), but because I'm an expert learner, having made most of the mistakes students can make in learning a language. My comments are based on the Welsh classes I've had, and my own trials and errors. I assume that you are primarily interested in learning Medieval Welsh in order to read the Mabinogi and the other medieval texts, and that you already have an understanding of English grammar, including conjugations, declensions, subjects, objects, and indirect objects. I've included a book list at the end of this page listing all the books mentioned here.

Sources for Mythology Last modified 3 Jan. 1998 Contents What is mythology? Primary literature for myths Myth and legend from oral tradition Primary literature for legends and folklore ... Online resources What is Mythology? The word has several meanings. In the most general sense, it refers to any invented story. In the sense most often used on alt.mythology, it refers to a traditional story, usually very old, which has or once had significant spiritual, moral, or social significance. Professionals distinguish between mythology, legend, and folktale. Very briefly, myths are considered true by the people who tell them; they are usually set near the beginning of time and often concern the origins of things. Legends are also regarded as true, but are set later in history when the world was much as it is today. Folklore is considered false by the people telling it, and its setting in time and space is usually irrelevant. Myths are considered sacred, legends are more often secular, and folktales aren't taken seriously, at least not literally. Although this classification is useful, there is plenty of overlap, and stories range over too much territory to fit nicely in any simple classification. The references below concentrate on myths in the narrow sense, but they include a large dose of legend and folktale as well.

He is able to make the Four Branches come alive in a modern way, while preserving their magic. Most important, however, are his notes, and his new translation of "Taliesin", the story of the famous Welsh bard. He uses a version older than the Guest edition, and tackles the difficult poetry to make it fully readable where he can. As for his notes, Ford makes excellent use of Indo-European scholarship, particularly the works of Georges Dumezil, to illustrate the primitive themes embedded in these late-medieval tales. This volume should be on any medievalists shelf.

Its not meant to be an encyclopedia of arcane knowledge, or a deep scholarly work, just something to give someone new something to chew on. In the back and throughout the book it gives dozens of listings for webpages and books to further your research. If youre new to Paganism and are interested in all things Celtic, this would be a good read. Same goes for if youre Christian, or just about any other religion. If youre like me and just want an entertaining and pretty light read, its good for that too. Im very much happy with the bibliography and research the author has put into the book. I already have some of the books it lists, but it should keep me busy for a while. All in all, light reading and good introduction for beginners. It covers a lot of ground, and dispels a lot of myths. It doesnt give out a romantic or idealized form of Celtic spirituality (and ancient culture, for that matter) that a lot of books do. No claims here of ancient matriarchial Celtic cultures, or gynocentric warrior women. Kudos, Carl McColman.
