Celtic Spirtuality

I just wanted to have a place for followers of a Celtic Path to discuss things. I want it to be open to both Pagans and Christians.

I'd love to wear a kilt, but i don't know where to get one around here. are they expensive? what kind of top and shoes do you wear with one?

I got my kilt over the internet. You might want to visit Highland games if you want a kiltmaker closer to home. You can wear anything above the kilt as well as any shoes. The Book So You're Going to wear the kilt? Is an excellend guide.

i'd like to know more about just what a "Celtic Path" is.

A Celtic path is any spirituality that is celtic. This can mean Celtic Reconstructionism(my path), Celtic Shamanism, some modern forms of Druidism, a Celtic form of Christianity. Wicca may count but some authors do claim some things to be Celtic that arn't. Nothing against Wicca, but its roots are not Celtic.

I would be interested. I am very interested in Celtic spirituality especially relating to animals. I recently went raging mad over the so-called 'shapeshifter tarot' which is meant to be based on Celtic animal traditions but is actually full of American neo-pagan bollocks. Aaargh.


I have been reading some great stuff about traditional red-eared cattle and why they were so important to the Celts, and lot fo other stuff that would make good threads.

We could just move into one of the forums and but little [celtic] tags on out post's subject lines?

You might try checking out these sites:

http://www.celticspirit.org/
or
http://www.druid.org/

It's good to see a re-awakened interest in "natural" beliefs. Strip away the terminology, and what's left is pretty practical.

Another great site is www.solasdana.org. It's the website of Frank MacKowan, the author of The Mist Filled Path. I can't recommend this book enough. Also good is Tom Cowan's Fire in the Head. This is a must read. For one of the greatest books on Celtic folklore read Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries. It tells how Pagan beliefs were transformed by country folk and how the old Gods never were forgotten. A must read.

Yes but what about a place for discussion. Here? in the 'pagan' forum?

I didn't think the Pagan forum of the past represented Celtic ways.
