	Celtic Deities
		In Celtic lore, the deities died and were reborn as with the seasons of the year.
		Celtic deities were not the infallible gods created by the later patriarchal religions.
		This tradition originating in Celtic Gaul, western and northern England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and the Isle of Man is the broadest and most eclectic branch.

	The Patriotist - Guest Column
		Celtic cultural heritage in the South is the single most important truth to refute that absurd cliché, and that is the chief reason that both leftists and neoconservatives, tending ever toward Empire, hate the Celtic-Southern thesis.
		Celtic cultural heritage as even one of the major defining ingredients in Southern culture is a taboo subject, except to deride in a joke meant to discourage anyone from investigating it.
		Celtic warfare after the full conquering of all Celtic peoples by Medieval Germanic warlords has focused primarily on the hit and run tactics and sniping that are most effective in defending a homeland against an invader or occupier.

	Ethnic Origins of the Cheek/Chick Family
		Celtic people such as the Welsh and Irish speak languages that are clearly Indo-European in origin (with many unique features), yet their Y-DNA is similar to that of the Basques.
		It is possible that the pre-Celtic Britons were an indigenous people who gradually "became" Celtic as a result of the military, economic, and cultural influence of the Celts from the continent.
		The authors conclude that the Celtic language arrived in Britain around 3,200 B.C. +/- 1,500 years, and that "proto-Indo-European" (the presumed language spoken by the original Indo-European settlers in Europe) began to fragment around 8,100 B.C. +/- 1,900 years.

	Celtic Interlace
		Celtic interlace designs make their first appearance in early Christian Celtic Art in the middle of the seventh century A. There are three ways I expect various readers to be upset with the opening sentence of this article.
		Celtic interlace, that is knotwork designs as well as interlaced birds and beasts are the most recognized elements of so-called Celtic Art.
		In 635 a new monastery was established on Lindisfarne in the Anglo Saxon kingdom of Northumbria.

	History of England, The Anglo Saxon Period
		Again, it is to Bede that we owe the story of the conversion of England to the new faith (the older Roman Christian Church remained in parts of Britain, notably Wales and Scotland as the Celtic Church).
		In that northern outpost of the Catholic Church, a tradition of scholarship began that was to have a profound influence on the literature of Western Europe.
		The establishment of the Church at York was not possible until 625; the immense task of converting and then organizing the converted was mostly beyond the limited powers of Augustine, well-trained in monastic rule, but little trained in law and administration.

	ANGLO-SAXONIA
		The remnants of the Celtic tongue in modern England are generally limited to geographical features, such as rivers (“Avon” and “Afon” [same pronunciation] simply mean “river” in modern Cornish and Welsh respectively).
		In this gut-wrenching switch-over from Celtic “Britain” to Germanic “England”, once these early English decided to get right with God and convert, the missionaries in these still-Celtic areas had retained such horrid memories of the conquest that for at least 200 years, they refused to proselytize to the English.
		Eventually, the various Germanic peoples intermarried and assimilated with the by-then highly Romanized Celtic (or otherwise) inhabitants of the lands.

	Encyclopedia: Ireland
		Cartoon of the Celtic Tiger - the press media in Ireland use pictures of green striped tigers to symbolise or sometimes mock the Celtic Tiger The Celtic Tiger is a nickname for the Republic of Ireland during its period of rapid economic growth between the 1990s and 2001 or 2002.
		That decade saw the beginning of unprecedented economic success, in a phenomenon known as the "Celtic Tiger".
		By the early 2000s, it had become one of the richest countries (in terms of GDP per capita) in the European Union, moving from being a net recipient to a net contributor and from a population with net emigration to one with net immigration.

	Kingdom of Northumbria (Anglo-Saxon Age)
		Perhaps some of the Celtic peoples of the region had even held onto Christian beliefs since Roman times and it is just possible that in some cases Paulinus was preaching to the converted.
		The main supporters of the Celtic Christianity at Whitby were Colman of Lindisfarne, Hilda of Whitby and Cedd, the Bishop of Essex.
		They conquered the native 'Celtic' tribes of Britain and established military control in the North with the construction of Hadrian's Wall and the huge legionary fortress at York.

	Celtic England
		Some aspects of this simplification happened to the Celtic language of the country people: all case endings were dropped, all cases lost except the Accusative and prepositions used instead.
		Judging from this, Pictish is at least as close to Welsh as Breton, which only split off from British Celtic in the 5th century and maintained close contacts later; and it was, after all, "the Men of the North", inhabitants of Scotland, who wrote and feature in "Y Gododdin".
		A distinct dialect of Celtic was spoken in Ireland, and it too went through changes, but not so abrupt.

	The Ancient British Heroic Tradition: A Comparison of Celtic and Anglo-Saxon Expression
		It was perfectly acceptable in both Celtic and Anglo-Saxon society for a bard or poet to write a satire on someone who had slighted him, even a member of his own war-band.
		Both the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon societies were organized around an oral tradition.
		In Celtic society, the role of the court-bard is sometimes portrayed as inferior to that of the traveling bard, as seen by Taliesin¹s victory at Gwynedd¹s court.

	The Scotsman - Sport - Anglo-Celtic gap not as wide as presumed
		RESULTS in the first round of the Anglo-Welsh Powergen Cup last weekend have given the Celtic League a boost, the score in favour of the Welsh clubs being three victories to one defeat.
		Still one looks forward to seeing him in the Celtic League and European competitions, and I am sure everyone hopes he will be a great success - except possibly when up against their own club.
		It's probable also that Celtic League matches are more entertaining, in that there is more chance of adventurous rugby being played.

	Professor Huxley on Political Ethnology (1870)
		Thus assuming that Celtic speech and Teutonic speech are making two separate groups or races of mankind, I absolutely deny that the past affords any reason for dealing with the people of Ireland differently from that which may be found to answer with the people of Devonshire, or vice versa.
		On the other hand, there is the Celtic group–comprising the Cymric spoken in Wales, and formerly in Cornwall, and the Gaelic spoken in the highlands of Scotland, the Isle of Man, and Ireland.
		Grave and able disputants dealing with such a problem as the Irish land question have much to say about the necessity of respecting Celtic peculiarities, and take their countrymen seriously to task for their narrowness in supposing that which is good for Teutonic is good for Celtic races of mankind.

	survivals.html
		Medieval and subsequent Irish and British Celtic art from the multiple Celtic revitalization movements is more similar to pre-Christian art, in that the focus on the human form has been dropped and reverts back to more zoomorphic and linear patterns.
		a focus from which the ideals and usages of Celtic monasticism were widely diffused on the Continent; and in the seventh century it stimulated a wave of monastic foundations which went forward under the enthusiastic patronage of kings and queens and members of the Frankish nobility.
		Most Celtic art is avoids portraying the human form, however the Celts were not culturally or religiously opposed to the portrayal, but more that statistically most of the surviving art the early Celts was linear or zoomorphic in nature.

	The Battle for Britain (Introduction)
		Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, and Norse myths all have different versions of these mythological creatures and all are important to the myths of the culture.
		The Celtic view of mythological creatures is very different than that of the Anglo-Saxon and Norse view.
		There are no dwarfs in Celtic myths as well, smaller mythological creatures very usually fairies or elves (somewhere between a dwarf and a fairy).

	Anglo-Celtic.or.uk :: Home
		At Anglo-Celtic.org.uk we have no desire to suggest that England is 'as Celtic', as Eire, Cymru, or Alba, or for that matter that all of England is as Celtic as Kernow.
		It is our hope that if the English had a better understanding of the Celtic influence on their roots, these historic attitudes (which sadly are still found in many today) could be rejected and steps towards atonement made.
		It is also fair to say that the strong Anglo-Saxon self perception has contributed a general acceptance in England of the appalling treatment of the peoples of The Isles by those governing England.

	Valente/Dracula's Crypt. Chapter 1
		During his long childhood convalescence from a mysterious and paralyzing ailment, Stoker's Anglo identifications and accompanying sense of racial entitlement were fostered on his father's heroic tales of the Williamite invasion of Ireland, which was thought to have first brought the Stokers across St. George's Channel in the person of a regimental officer.
		His Celticism was a discourse of assimilative hierarchy rather than "dialogic separation," and as such it formed a precise ethnological correlative to the paternalistic unionism espoused in his later Irish Essays.
		The expatriation of his parents was an ex-patriation for Stoker in another sense: it became a momentary disconnection from the settler heritage of security and privilege associated with his father's blood and a reconnection with the unsettled heritage of distress and flight associated with his mother's blood.

		The fiddle is a perfect instrument for her because of the prominent role it has played in both Celtic and Anglo American forms.
		However, it would be inaccurate to call Finlayson a Celtic purist because she isn't without American influences.
		Although the majority of Celtic musicians are from Ireland or Scotland, one doesn't have to be from either of those countries to play traditional Celtic music.

	Anglo-Celtic Music in the United States
		Many other documents of that epoch attest to the keen appreciation that white settlers had of the peculiar euphoria that African performers could bring to Anglo Celtic music.
		Respecting the traditional Celtic fondness - almost to the point of exclusivity - for plucked and bowed string instruments, mountain musicians gradually integrated a number of new string sounds into their music.
		Taken together, these themes presented an extremely democratic code of conduct well suited to American frontier society of the 17th, 18th and 19th century, just as the music, in its simplicity and utility, provided the ideal companion for whiling away time in the wilderness, on the range and on the frontier.

	Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race: Preface
		It is, then, for an Anglo-Celtic, not an "Anglo-Saxon," people that this account of the early history, the religion, and the mythical and romantic literature of the Celtic race is written.
		The part played by the Celtic race as a formative influence in the history, the literature, and the art of the people inhabiting the British Islands - a people which from that centre has spread its dominions over so vast an area of the earth's surface - has been unduly obscured in popular thought.
		The elements which in the most remote times have entered into a nation's composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people.

	Gene Expression: CELTS AND ANGLO-SAXONS
		Religion: late Roman Christianity and Celtic religions disappeared from England and were replaced by Anglo-Saxon paganism until Christian missionaries from Ireland and Rome arrived.
