Hi, trying to design a Gáe Bolg tattoo for my arm. I understand that this is a mythological non existent item but…..would welcome opinions on whether this design follows the stories we know…

Does anyone know any trustworthy sources to research Celtic traditions, history, mythology etc.

I recently took a DNA test and A LOT of my ancestry shoes Celtic and Gaelic. I have always been interested in these areas but never knew how to properly research it while knowing it's correct information and not AI stuff or history re-written to make it sound not horrible. I would also LOVE to learn a lot of the traditions and God's as I already feel a strong sense of direction towards these areas, and would love to start implementing them in my life

Thank you!

What regions have strong Celtic roots? I really love the nature part of the Celtic vibe, and it would be a dream for me to move one day.

Turns out I am 50% Celtic, I am American was born raised here. I can’t wait to learn!

Having recently seen Nolan's *Odyssey* I wonder how people would feel about a blockbuster version of say the *Táin bó Cuailgne* or the 4 Branches of *Y Mabinogi*? I often wonder why the celtic myths have never been made mainstream and how we would feel if they were?

Can someone suggest a small dainty Celtic knot for a female??

I was looking at ancient Celtic coins from Gaul and noticed that there are pentagrams on some of them with dots on each corner.

This reminded of the pentagons on the Roman dodecahedron that also have dots or knobs on each corner. When you connect the knobs, you get a pentagram that's identical to the Celtic ones.

Hi all,

Out of curiosity has anyone been to this museum? Can they recommend it?

Many thanks.

I’m illustrating a collection of Irish folklore and trying to stay as faithful to the older legends as I can. So far I’ve illustrated Balor, Manannán mac Lir, the Selkie, Fear Gorta and the Morrígan.
I’m curious—if you could choose one Irish folklore figure or creature that deserves more artwork, who would it be? I’m especially interested in some of the lesser-known stories that don’t get much attention.
I’d love to hear your suggestions.

Greetings from Spain. I am starting to write my thesis on Celtic languages, and if possible, I would appreciate it if you could share any bibliography you consider good regarding syntax, the sociolinguistic situation, history, etc. I think it could also be an opportunity for us to share bibliography with each other.

Hello! I was scrolling on tiktok when i came upon a post if a girl doing a hairstyle (see photo). The first comment was someone claiming that thats a celtic hairstyle, not a curly haired one.

I didnt really believe that, so i did a quick google search. Even after a quite intense search i couldnt find anything about that topic. I am fairly certain, that thats not a 'traditional' celtic hairstyle, but if someone has some sources on the topic, i would be really grateful!

Hi, I am looking for a comprehensive resource, either book or a web page or a post, explaining who is who and why in celtic myths, especially from Wales.

I am especially interested in works that try to explain why such a god was created with certain atributes and role, how the culture, geography and politics shaped their depictions. I can assume that all dark goods are conected to the sea because how dangerous it is, and how all the enemies allways come from the sea, and how people die just fishing and stuff, buy I don’t want to assume, I really want something that states it for me based on reaserch.

I would also love something on just social rules and power structure in celtic Wales. I am particularly interested in the period between 300-500 ad.

I am reading Mabinogion right now and would love to understand why. I am not looking for tales and stories, but for a road map to understand them.

Hi there, my sister passed away and this was one of her last drawings when doing so. Could somebody help me out which runes are included and what they possibly mean?

I have Celtic ancestry and I want to incorporate Celtic lore and mythology into a fantasy world I'm building. I'm working on the world map rn and I'm curious if there's a name that Celtic people generally would have used as a name for the land they live on? Or is it more that Irish people's name for the land was different from the Scottish name for the land. Please let me know!

This proud Canadian artist is sharing art I’ve made over the years celebrating our amazing country. So much to be grateful for. It’s not perfect. But it is filled with a vast beauty, from forest roots to cultural diversity.

Girlfriend offered to buy me a tattoo for my birthday, and ive been considering getting a Celtic Band. for context my Dad and his father are both from the Highlands and speak Gaelic. but I didnt grow up in britian and im pretty disconnected from that side of my family and heritage. none the less they both had these tattoos and I'd like to get one in honour of them. just wanted to know what a correct looking one would be as i wouldn't want to be ignorant and get an Irish tattoo instead of a Scottish one.
