Extractions: Just Because. I'm a Witch. (Until recently I didn't realize Witches were supposed to be only duotheistic or even monotheistic ie, honoring just a Lord and Lady, or just the Goddess. I guess I just didn't read that book. Polytheism has always had a strong appeal to me since discovering the various Pagan paths.) I'm not a Celtic Witch. None of the books or material or whathaveyou concerning Celtic Wicca or Celtic Witchcraft really ever spoke to me. More on that below. But now I find myself on a path into Celtic Paganism. Call it Reconstructionism, Traditionalism, or whatever (there's a large debate out there in the community over terminology, and so I'll wait until the dust settles from the rolling heads of those wiser than myself). For me, it is distinct from Wicca/Witchcraft, and I practice it as such. Separately, although both must infuse the spirit of the body I inhabit.

It celebrated the divine spirit in all living creatures and plants as well as in the human soul. Its legendary figures were hermits who lived in the forests, befriending the animals and birds and pilgrims who traveled into remote areas to spread the gospel. To both pagan and Christian Celts, religion was not removed from the activities of every day life. Celtic paganism recognized both gods and goddesses who appeared in nature as trees, animals or natural forces. The main places of worship were in holy hills, springs, rivers, lakes, trees and in forests. Pagan Celtic spirituality embraced a connection between the material world and "otherworldly" realms. The transition from pagan practices and ideas of worship to Christianity was a moderate process which culminated in nature being seen as the handiwork of God rather than something with divine power in its own right.

Extractions: Christianity, ancient Celtic beliefs, and Witchcraft Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. The first missionary to the Celts may have been St. Paul. He sought converts to Christianity in the Pagan Celtic land of Galatia (now part of Turkey) as recorded in his Epistle to the Galatians of the Christian Scriptures (New Testament). Later Missionaries and the Roman army gradually spread Christianity across Europe, easily converting the rulers and their religious leaders, but having less success in bringing the common folk to the new religion. Much of Christianity was derived from Pagan sources; this includes the sites of many cathedrals, the lives of many Christian saints (who were really recycled pagan Goddesses and Gods), many Christian holy days, and many cultural celebrations. There are many vestiges of Paganism which remain a part of our culture; e.g. Groundhog Day, Christmas , May Day Halloween , the names of the days of the weeks and months of the year, common sayings, numerous traditions associated with holidays, etc. During the Middle Ages, prior to 1400

Extractions: Mystery and Magic of the Celtic Tradition by Carl McColman The Druids. Stonehenge. Faery Mounds. Sacred trees. Mistletoe. Newgrange. Few cultures have a deeper or richer spiritual tradition than do the ancient Celts. If you are a spiritual seeker, you might find the Celtic tradition meaningful for your journeyregardless of your ethnic background. Who are the Celts? Well, they're the people whose descendents still live in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittanyand indeed, all around the world, for Celts are great pilgrims and travellers, and in recent centuries have moved in vast numbers to places like Canada, America, and Australia. Literally millions of people in the English speaking world have at least some Celtic ancestry. Here in America, many Scotch-Irish immigrants settled in the South, living in both English and Indian communities. The influence of the Celts can still be heard in the folk music of our region, much of which still shows such a strong Celtic influence that musicologists from the British Isles come to America to study our folk traditions! But on a larger, metaphysical level, the Celts are the guardians of a great ancient spiritual tradition, that was almostbut not completelydestroyed by the Roman Empire and the Christian conquest of Europe. That tradition goes by many names: European shamanism, Druidism, the Faery Faith. It survives in modern Wicca, the religion of witchcraft. It survives even in the Celtic form of Christianity, which is the most mystical and earth-friendly branch of the Christian religion. And today, more and more people are dedicating their spiritual lives to reviving Druidism and other forms of Celtic Paganism, ensuring that the timeless wisdom of this mighty and proud people will survive for generations to come.
Agallamh Na Paganach, Colloquy Of The Pagans
We hope that this document will help to answer some of your questions about the NemetonL list and about celtic paganism and Druidry in general.
http://technovate.org/web/nemeton/faq.html

Extractions: File updated: January 1998 and again July 2002 (by Cathbad) Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions file. We hope that this document will help to answer some of your questions about the Nemeton-L list and about Celtic Paganism and Druidry in general. Agallamh na Paganach is the joint effort of many of the members and friends of Nemeton-L. It is updated periodically with new information items of Celtic and Druidic interest. Check the date at the top of the file to see when it was most recently revised. We're glad that you are interested in our list, and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us. Erynn Laurie Listowner Emeritus +What is Nemeton-L? A Nemeton is a Celtic sacred grove. This Nemeton is an email discussion list for Celtic Pagans and Druids, intended as a place where we can gather to talk about the history, mysticism and religion of the Celtic people. While it has a primarily scholarly focus, inspiration and intuition are also welcome guides. The list was started during the summer of 1994. You do not have to be a Celtic Pagan or a Druid to subscribe to the list; all we ask is that you respect our beliefs while you are with us. While almost everything of interest to Celtic Pagans is on topic for the list, Wicca and Shamanism usually are not. There are many places on the net where these two topics are discussed, and we want to preserve some space for the discussion of specifically Celtic forms of Paganism. Discussion of the shamanic aspects of Celtic Paganism is on topic, but please try to remain within the realm of the Celts and not stray too far into Siberia.
Nemeton
The Nemeton is an internet discussion group for Celtic spirituality, especially the varieties of preChristian celtic paganism and its contemporary revival.
http://technovate.org/web/nemeton/

Extractions: The nemeton is a sacred grove, the holy precinct of the tribe. Within it, druids, poets, musicians, scholars and wise ones assemble to give reverence to the Gods and Goddesses and to learn, teach, and share their experience. This nemeton is a mailing list for Druids and other Celtic Pagans and their friends. It is a place for research, reflection, debate and discussion. Because there are many places for the discussion of Wicca and shamanism on the net, they are't normally on topic here. Our focus is on plumbing the depths of Celtic Pagan religions, folklore, mythology and symbolism, with pause for laughter over puns and poetic mead. If references are requested or points contested, try not to take offense, but instead engage with us in learned debate as did the loremasters of the early Celts before us. By seeking high standards, we can build a durable foundation for future generations of Celtic Pagans. Come with us and explore the three realms of Land, Sea and Sky, and investigate the sidhe mounds through aisling and archaeology.

http://www.flindersclubs.asn.au/pagan/paganism/traditions.html

Extractions: Pentagrams: Meaning and History There are numerous traditions under the generic classification of Paganism. Whilst they all share a common thread, their individual practices and beliefs may differ greatly. Most traditions emphasise the equality of men and women. However, some traditions are more specifically geared towards exploring either the male, or the female, mysteries. A brief summary of the Pagan traditions most commonly practiced today follows. Please note: this is not an exhaustive list, simply a basic guide to the more popular paths within the religion. Omission of any particular path does not imply it is non-Pagan, or unacceptable as a Pagan religion. The Internet carries discussion groups for most of the traditions listed here. With its origin in northern Europe, this tradition is practiced today by those who feel and affinity with their nordic and teutonic ancestors, and who wish to study the Sagas, Eddas and Runes. Asatru and Norse Paganism encourages a sense of responsibility and spiritual growth, sometimes within the context of noble warrior traditions.

http://www.seeekers.net/Celtic/wicca_not_celtic.htm

Extractions: Why they are not the same thing Article from Caer Celtic Wild Goose Witches and Wiccans aren't always the same thing and, as with any other "type" of person, there are good people and there are evil people. Most Wiccans believe they practice their magick with a good heart, and don't purposely seek to do harm. Wiccans believe their magick spells are somewhat like prayers, used to create needed change in one's own life or the life of a loved one. Spells such as those which use love magic to gain the attention of a specific individual, or curses, are considered "manipulative". Most Wiccans believe that anything manipulative, that goes against the free will of another, is considered wrong. Many other pagan paths have similar codes of conduct based upon the tenets of their tradition or belief and almost all believe that the responsibility for their actions will lie with them. The present form of popular witchcraft, Wicca, is less than a century old, and can be traced back to Alister Crowley (1875-1947), called by many either "The King of the Witches" or "The Wickedest Man in the World", a self declared master witch. Crowley's system of magic, while he professed to a traditional style, involved relegating women to a strictly subservient role. The 'formularies' used by Wicca can be traced back through the lodges of ceremonial magic, and especially the work of Alister Crowley.

Extractions: Owning this history does not mean that we, as the spiritual descendants of the Celts, must follow the ancient Celtic paths precisely, in all their ways and with all their faults. For one thing, we cannot know everything about what the Celts did and believed. But accepting it does mean that we need to understand the ethical framework of the Celts so that we can modify it intelligently and call it our own. With this understanding, we can safely call upon the Celtic deities in full knowledge of who and what we invoke. We can also live lives of honor in a modern society without a great deal of conflict with the overculture. Among the Celtic peoples a person's word was binding through this life and into future lives. Oaths were sworn by the Gods, within the three realms of land, sea and sky, [Ellis, 131] and they were taken very seriously. When the Gods are real, their displeasure is as real as their favor, and they do not like their names being taken lightly. Calling upon them in swearing oaths brought their attention to you, and they watched to be certain that sworn oaths were not violated. Death was considered preferable to the breaking of oath, for without the honor of individuals and the trust between members of the tuath ("people, children, tribe"), the entire tribe could collapse, and who would want to be responsible for the destruction of the tribe?
