Celtic polytheism, sometimes known as Celtic paganism, refers to the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Celtic peoples of Western Europe prior to Christianization. Celtic polytheism was animistic, believing in spirits existing in natural objects such as trees and rocks. Religious beliefs and practices of the Celts varied throughout the different Celtic lands, which included Ireland, Great Britain, Celtiberia, Gaul, areas along the Danube river, and Galatia; however there were commonalities shared by all. Celtic religious practices bear the marks of Romanization following the Roman Empire's conquest of certain Celtic lands such as Gaul (58–51 BCE) and Britain (43 CE), although the depth and significance of Romanization is a subject of scholarly disagreement. Celtic polytheism declined in the Roman Empire period, especially after the outlawing of one form of it, Druidism, by the emperor Claudius in 54 CE. It persisted somewhat longer in Britain and Ireland, where it gradually disappeared during Christianization, over the 5th to 6th centuries. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by Frozen Phoenix - Sun May 3 01:02:22 2009 - - 19 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't fully understand the results. How do you determine a person's coolness and what do the numbers mean exactly? Are they a percentage of the people in the group who are considered cool or are they a rating scale of how cool people in that group are? And if it's a rating scale, is it 0-100 or what? But to answer your question, no I'm not cool. I'm just Lilli. I think I'm a little nerdy actually. Answered by Lilliana - Sun May 3 01:09:17 2009 Are there any Gaelic Polytheists who aren't American?
Q. I am interested in Celtic Reconstructionism, specifically Gaelic or Scottish. But most of the groups and practitioners I've found are Americans. I have read about a Gaelic Traditionalist movement in the Gaelic countries, but are there any Gaelic Polytheists in the Gaelic lands who are reconstructing the pre-Christian Gaelic culture? I am really interested in Gaelic Polytheism, but I don't want to just be part of a silly American fallacy. Most of the Pagans from the UK and Ireland I find online are Wiccan, or maybe Druids, but I was wondering if there are any Gaels interested in Reconstruction, or if the Modern Gaels see this as an insulting or silly path? Also, why are there so many Pagans in the Gaelic countries who don't take an… [cont.] Asked by moondancer_fae - Tue Jun 24 14:03:30 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A.
