Celtic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3251 words)
Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, apparently the religion of the Iron Age Celts.
In contrast, those Celtic peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of the British Isles) did transmit at least vestigial remnants of the mythologies of their Iron Age forebears, which were often recorded in written form during the Middle Ages.
The widespread diffusion of the god Lug (seemingly related to the mythological figure Lúgh in Irish) in Celtic religion is apparent from the number of place names in which his name appears, occurring across the Celtic world from Ireland to Gaul.
Celtic Gods and Goddesses (3465 words)
An Irish/Celtic god, harper of the Tuatha Dé Danann.
The Celtic god of light and healing, "Bel" means "shining one," or in Irish Gaelic, the name "bile" translates to "sacred tree." It is thought that the waters of Danu, the Irish All-Mother goddess, fed the oak and produced their son, The Dagda.
She is the wife of the water god Nechtan or of Elcmar, and consort of the Dagda, by whom she was the mother of the god Aengus.
