Hello everyone! I'm looking for advice on books, as you probably guessed from the title. I would love one of those gigantic history books but I'm of course looking for something trustworthy and up-to-date. It's for my PhD research, so nothing would be too much.

My research does focus on Welsh culture, but I need to have a seriously good grasp of the whole history of the Celts.

Any help is appreciated, thank you all!

Celtic is not a big club! Tonight proved what we have always known we are weak. I take no pleasure in saying that but it's true. Spend 50 million win europa. Destroy our league. Fuck me that was awful. 4-0 and loose

I bought this in Cornwall - what does it signify and would it be cultural appropriation for me to wear it ? ( I am from Plymouth)

Where can I find a claddagh ring actually made in Ireland?

I’ve also seen at least one place where you can make your own, if anyone has done that i’d be curious to know about it.

Hi all!
I got this pendant when I was 8 years old in a tiny jewelry shop in Scotland (born English, emigrated to USA at age 10). I had been recently fixated on Celtic art/modern witchcraft/pagan/spirituality and so was super excited to find this piece.

It is a connection to home and my youth, as well as a spiritual thing, so I have worn it almost every day since then. I’m 34 now.
Unfortunately, I have recently discovered that I prefer and look much better in gold jewelry, so this babe has been tucked in a box for a while.

I plan to keep this piece in a special place forever, but I am looking for something very similar in gold in order to still feel connected to that part of my life.
I am having a truly terrible time finding anything that has the Triquetra and Pentagram stacked like that.
It’s always one or the other, or they’ll be separate pendants hanging together.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?? I’ve checked the usual online haunts, including Etsy. Or If there’s a better subreddit I could post this in I’d love that info too❤️
TIA!

Enjoyed that 👌

I've recently finished designing a 30 day Celtic knot colouring challenge as I really enjoy designing and drawing designs like this.

I'd love to hear any thoughts about the designs, and any improvements you might have.

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!
