	Celtic mythology Info - Bored Net - Boredom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The important position of the god Lug, also known as Lugh, in Celtic religion can be seen from the number of place names in which his name appears.
		He is described in the Celtic myths as a latecomer to the list of deities, and is always described as having the appearance of a young man. His weapons were the throwing-spear and sling and a festival called the Lughnasa was held in his honour.
		It is therefore quite possible that Celtic society had, in addition to the ritualistic and thaumaturgical religion of the druids, a shamanic element of ecstatic communication with the underworld.

	Why Wicca Isn't Inherently Celtic
		There is a list of the sources I used at the end of this article, and it is my hope that whether you agree or disagree with what I have to say, you will at least go check it out for yourself by reading some of the sources listed.
		In the Celtic languages the masculine and the feminine are often interchanged or appear not as we might expect, but that can be mainly attributed to the fact that the Celts did not view their world in masculine and feminine terms as Wiccans so often do.
		In Celtic religion the only requirement you need is to have a connection with the Celtic culture through family or study, and to be dedicated to the betterment of your "tribe", with very few other initiatory elements.

	Lugus (Lugh) : The Many-Gifted Lord
		Many representations of Celtic "Mercury" seem intended to suggest that he is several-in-one: usually this takes the form of tricephaly, although not all three-headed figures in Celtic iconography are necessarily this god.
		They share a long list of traits: the tendency to tricephaly, the association with money, with twin serpents, etc. Both are threshold figures, facilitating the passage from one state to another, and thus the exchange of money in trading, as well as the transition from life to death and back again.
		This last aspect of Celtic "Mercury" -- the least "Classical" of his manifestations -- is particularly well-attested in the Rhineland, and more generally in the lands of the Belgic expansion -- the last great population movement in pre-Roman Celtia, and a source of much religious innovation.

		Celtic languages which have not survived include Manx (last native speaker died in the 1970's), Cornish (last speaker from the early 19th century), Gaulish (speakers assimilated into Roman Empire), Galatian (Central Turkey, speakers assimilated into Roman Empre) and Celitiberian or Hispano Celtic (central Spain, speakers assimilated into Roman Empire).
		Celtic languages are descended from Indo-European, so they are, in fact, distantly related to English (although a little closer to Latin).
		Celtic is of interest to Indo-Europeanists because it is the western-most branch of Indo-European in Europe, so some archaic Indo-European linguistic (and perhaps cultural) features are preserved.

		They are often seen to acccompany hunter deities with examples being the image of a god found at Le Touget, Gers, France which shows a man with a hare held in his arms and a hound by his side.
