Fun fact about Celtic myth

I have some Irish and Welsh ancestry so all this is interesting to me

Irish

I prefer finvarra also known by the titles the fairy king of knockfierna, the king of the daoine sidhe, and lastly the ruler of the dead he is one of the many deities with a physical item that represents him that item is the coin and as I'm a greedy peace of crap I much prefer the irish version of the ferry man from greek mythology to either of those deities and plus... coin go brrrrrr

Celts are the tribes that would become the races that inhabit the islands that are now the British Isles.

Preferably the Morrigan

Native we are all Celtic mongrels. my tribe is trinovanti the vigorous ones. budicca was born trinovanti before marriage into iceni tribe. Then we burnt those Romans after Colchester my native town/city

Jokes on you I am Celtic of the o’donghaile clan

morgan

Morgan, only goddess of death to my knowledge who canonically was seduced into not allowing the seducer to die and rescinding her previous prophecy for seeing their death

Does Scottish count

The Morrison because she’s got the The

The Morrison for sure

Scottish not British ffs

I'd worship the Mórrígan, no doubt. The other one is just one god, but the Mórrígan is three gods in a trench coat.

Stars backwards is even more interesting

Not British.Fuck the union.The fight isn’t over until all celts are free

Probably think that they share responsibilities and they meet up every now and then when dealing in their souls

Fun Fact Again

Halloween's toots date back to ancient Irish celebration of Oiche Shamhna
Meaning yall stole my holiday

Not sure which I would follow, but it must have caused an awful lot of confusion between the two of them since arán in Irish literally means bread

Irish

LMAO AS AN IRISH PERSON “ARAN” MEANS BREAD IN IRISH LOLLLL (I don’t think I slept it right cuz I suck at spelling-) 😭

Well yea lol thats kinda common knowledge,

Gawds here come the descendants of Celtic gods viking warriors and druids priests 🤣🤣🤣😂

The British are not celts

I mean- I’m welsh so I doubt I’d have a choice tbh

Ind Mórrígan is not mythically the same as Arawn. Two separate gods. Furthermore, there is no such thing as "British mythology". It's mainly Irish and Welsh with some Scottish folklore.

You got guts to talk about Celtic AND NOT PUT SCOTLAND ON IT! (THAT’S MY COUNTRY) , it’s not UK without us

Also mythical fun fact:

In the Czech Republic (Heart of the mainland European Celtic tribes/Last ones standing in mainland Europ) we still, despite christianization (Stuck with us only for political reason - Noone liked it) have a tradition in Prague, where people make a black female doll and throw it burning into the river (Moldau/Vltava) after every winter. The doll symbolizing the great Morán (Symbol of death) and us getting rid of her at the end of winter.
Noone really know what's the story behind it, it's just a tradition we do.

Some believe her to be an evil witch from the medical times and this being a Christian tradition. But it's more likely that this is one of our few Celtic traditions - The goddess of death Morgan (Moran) being sent on her way after her rign has ended.

The celtic contry are also Galicia and bretagne in Spain and France . In bretagne we have l'Ankou .

Well, given that I am of mixed Scot and Irish decent (with a bunch of other European too) I'll be a Gael.

I think you mean Irish, ENGLISH, Welsh and you didnt even mention Scottish! They are all. BRITISH! You need to do your homework better! Youre just confusing Americans that dont know the difference.When a blind man leads a blind man, both fall into a pit.

So the question is would I rather be killed by a man or a woman?

The Gaul to skip Brittney & only talk about the Isles man

Moragain may bless you, but she may also demand the heads of your enemies as an offering, live the triple goddess

I am celtic im Irish so

Not British/Britain. The people back in England back then were called Britons.*

Hi, someone called Arawn here, pronunciations off but you're otherwise correct I'd say :)

Yep.

Irish, British, welsh are all one culture!

Looking forward to see what lyra can do on raw

I am Celtic and I prefer the Lives of the Celtic Saints.

Came to the comments just to see uk people and irish people talking about lore wars since its offensive to ask and find out that way lol

British makes more sense because the English are mainly Celtic, the saxon myth was propagated in victorian times to differentiate the upper class "saxon English" from the "celtic fringes".

Ironically its now mainly propagated in reverse by "pure Celtic peoples" to differentiate them from the "Germanic invaders".

Genetic, linguistic, historic, cultural etc evidence says this simply isn't true. It was a false narrative when the upper class Victorians used it and its a false narrative now.

The masses have always been majority mongrels, especially in Scotland and England. Wales does have a particularly strong celtic DNA but tbh blood purity is quite a disgusting measure of anyone really.

Morrigan

I prefer Morrigan

I am of celtic desent

Irish also have the god Donn as the deity of death. Yes, Celtic obviously includes several cultures.

Morgan isn't the goddess of death

Donn is the god of death the Morgan is a warrior queen who was accepted as a diety due to her success she is known for starting wars and creating a frenzy during a fight she is also known as the bringer of death.

She is our version of the grim reaper

The morrígan easy

I’m Welsh so I’m really fuckin biased
