  Celtic mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Lug is described in the Celtic myths as a latecomer to the list of deities, and is usually described as having the appearance of a young man. His weapons were the throwing-spear and sling, and in Ireland a festival called the Lughnasa (Modern Irish lúnasa) was held in his honour.

 LABARA - talking about Celtic language
Celtic languages are part of the Indo-European family of languages just as English is, but belong to an entirely different branch of this family - the Celtic branch - and are more different from English than German or French.
The Celtic languages have unusual features within the Indo-European family, which may be due to greater influence from the non-Indo-European languages they displaced and/or to greater retention of archaic forms of Indo-European, but these questions also remain open.
Manx, or Gailck, is the Celtic language of the Isle of Man. It is likely that here, as in Scotland, the native Irish colonists arrived around the fifth century CE and found a principally Brythonic-speaking population.

 Bad Celtic Page
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.

 Celtic language learning, a guide for Pagans
Until you have used a Celtic language as a real means of communication and expression, you are likely to perceive the old texts merely as things to be translated into English; gut understanding won't be there.
As discussed in the previous article, the patterns and idiom of Celtic languages are much different than that of English; using the dictionary as your principal tool when translating stuff into a new language is the fastest possible route to total gibberish.
Your principal purpose in learning a Celtic language and talking with native Celts is come to know the culture from the inside, to assimilate to it as much as possible and thereby understand it deeply.
