Spring Clean 2021 - Totally historically accurate fantasy Celtic army
Review: The Celtic Myths - Chapters 8 and 9
The last two chapters of the book covered mythical aspects of the land and water, and then concepts of the Otherworld. To be honest by this point in the book there was little new content that I had not read or touched upon elsewhere.
The Celts regarded some trees as sacred, particularly the oak – which is presumably because that would have been the tallest or oldest elements of the landscape.
With that my latest book under review has been finished. I get the feeling now that I would learn little new material by reading another book on the Celts. As I am interested in Iron Age Celts there is very little material to work with so the content of the three books I have read has become repetitive. I could perhaps learn more by reading direct translations of the Irish and Welsh Celtic myths, but to be honest I’m not interested in going that far.
