Extractions: Look below the link section for news from Scotland. Northwest European Shamanism By Joel Hopkinson Religion was less organized before Christianity. People could follow their own spiritual path and make choices regarding their religious beliefs. Often a person would recognize many divine energies, as all powers were viewed as potent within their own sphere of influence. Into this environment of religious freedom came the Roman Empire, using Christianity as a political tool to unite its diverse citizens. Spiritual tolerance was destroyed, as the religions of the Book aggressively believe in only one god - theirs. Or more correctly a god imported from the Middle East. So began a great destruction, a religious and cultural vandalism that would impoverish European thought for centuries. In modern times we have once again something close to the religious freedom enjoyed by our ancient ancestors. People are asking questions and seeking answers in places previously concealed or destroyed by Christianity. The war-god Yahweh, the sun-god Christ and the Christian reformation of Judaism have been put into context as one religion rather than the religion. There is nothing wrong with following this religion as part of being free and tolerant is allowing others to follow their own way. But many of us are looking

Extractions: Prydwyn: Workshops and Lecture Presentations In addition to his substantial musical achievements, Prydwyn has amassed an impressive portfolio of academic credentials - a bachelors degree in Classics from Vanderbilt University, and masters degrees in Celtic Studies from the University of Edinburgh and Harvard University - and is currently in the final stages of his doctoral program in Celtic Languages and Literatures at Harvard. Over the course of the past six years he has taught and lectured widely, both at the aforementioned institutions, and at various festivals and other events across the eastern half of the U.S. and beyond. Prydwyns workshops and lectures draw their inspiration from his two realms of greatest experience - the mythological and literary legacies of the Celts, and the trials and tribulations of a modern practitioner of the Bardic Arts. He is able to offer a variety of workshops in both of these areas (specifically focused in all cases to fit the individual needs of venue and audience), as well as to provide instrumental and language tuition for individuals or groups. The following is but a representative sample of the types of workshops that Prydwyn has presented in the past: With the current popularity - and thus marketability - of things, and even of the very word, Celtic, a vast bibliography has grown up over the last decade and a half which purports to offer readers a glimpse of the pre-Christian religions of the Celts. When all the theorizing and wishful thinking has been stripped away, however, what do we actually know - as firm fact - about Celtic Paganism, and, perhaps even more importantly, how and whence do we know it? In this presentation, a comprehensive overview will be offered of the primary sources (literary, archaeological, and ethnographic) available to the serious student of historical Celtic Paganism, along with a brief commentary on the state of Celtic scholarship within the contemporary Pagan community.

http://www.joellessacredgrove.com/Celtic/celtictraditions.html

Extractions: So you see, claiming to be Celtic can mean any number of traditions. Following is a listing of some -certainly not all- of the many traditions that are in some way Celtic. On this page I've listed some of the more prominent Celtic Traditions in the Pagan Community. Most of the listings are followed by web sites where you may go to learn more if you so desire. Obviously it would be impossible to list all the Traditions that are in some way Celtic, what I've done here is include the ones that seem to have the most impact on the most people. If I've overlooked any please let me know! Celtic Reconstructionalism: "Celtic reconstructionist paganism, a more culturally specific and historically based path which seeks to recreate, to the best extent possible in the modern world, the religion of the ancient Celtic peoples of Western Europe and the British Isles. Like Wicca, and like the Celtic culture upon which it is based, modern Celtic paganism embodies a strong reverence for nature."

http://www.candledark.net/silver/thecelticthing.html

Extractions: Just Because. I'm a Witch. (Until recently I didn't realize Witches were supposed to be only duotheistic or even monotheistic ie, honoring just a Lord and Lady, or just the Goddess. I guess I just didn't read that book. Polytheism has always had a strong appeal to me since discovering the various Pagan paths.) I'm not a Celtic Witch. None of the books or material or whathaveyou concerning Celtic Wicca or Celtic Witchcraft really ever spoke to me. More on that below. But now I find myself on a path into Celtic Paganism. Call it Reconstructionism, Traditionalism, or whatever (there's a large debate out there in the community over terminology, and so I'll wait until the dust settles from the rolling heads of those wiser than myself). For me, it is distinct from Wicca/Witchcraft, and I practice it as such. Separately, although both must infuse the spirit of the body I inhabit. I came to this from three (appropriately enough) sources: My trip to Scotland and concurrent connection to the Picts , in 1995 ce. My work with the online

Pledge To Pagan Spirituality Wiccan Principles of Belief The 1734 Tradition: British flavored, sometimes eclectic tradition based on the ideas of poet Robert Cochrane, a self-titled hereditary Witch. 1734 is said to be a cryptogram for the name of the Goddess honored in this tradition. Alexandrian Tradition: A popular tradition that began in England around 1960 and was founded by Alex Sanders. It is similar in some ways to the Gardnarian Tradition. Alex Sanders drew much attention from the media and was referred to (by the media) as the "King of Witches".

http://celt.drak.net/ceili_sidhe/sidhe.html

Extractions: Céilí Sídhe is one of many modern pagan traditions who honour the Tuatha De Danann and other gods of the Insular and Continental Celts. This loosely related collection of faiths includes various traditions of Druidism, Celtic Wicca, Celtic Reconstructionism, Christo-Celtic Paganism, and many eclectic paths that have a significant Celtic influence. In the last decade Celtic Paganism has seen a strong rise in the attention given to historical accuracy, at least at the research level, and an equally strong push against eclecticism; at its best this has led many traditions into a pursuit of excellence, rigor, and accuracy, but at its worst has led to petty conflicts and implicit assertions that there is one true way to practice our faith or honour our gods. Many of these conflicts have socio-political agendas which, however appropriate to the individual espousing them, need not be considered valid to every individual in ever denomination or tradition of Celtic Paganism.

I like this too. Instead of setting man up as the dominant being onthe planet, celtic paganism teaches that all space is sacred.
http://www.marthascottage.com/spilinks.htm

Extractions: I f you've read My Christmas , or Hoping for a Haunting , or the excerpt from my novel Dark Magic , you'll know I like to write about paganism and witchcraft, and, more generally, spirituality. There are so many systems of belief in the world. I find it hard to believe that one is right and the others are wrong. That's one of the things that attracts me to pagan paths. They can be polytheistic. They can accommodate not one god or goddess, but many. They can be henotheistic. Stop giggling. It doesn't mean worshipping chickens. It's the worship of one god without denying the existence of others.

Nigel Pennick , The Sacred World Of The Celts: An Illustrated Guide To Celtic Sp
staples of Celtic myth. He spends a chapter each on celtic paganism,the Celtic Church, the sacred year, and Celtic landscapes.
http://www.greenmanreview.com/sacred_celts.html

Extractions: to Celtic Spirituality and Mythology (Inner Traditions International, 1997) What defines a culture? Is it language? Ethnicity? Common religious practices? For centuries, the ancient Celts dominated Europe, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Yet they were not an empire, as some have said, but separate tribes, often at war with one another. They were, in their turn, dominated by the Romans, the Saxons, the Jutes, the Danes, and all the warring peoples who came after them. In The Sacred World of the Celts , Nigel Pennick first attempts to define what it is that makes a "Celt," but that is not easy, for the boundary lines blur. Furthermore, Celtic culture is not extinct, but has survived throughout the ages by adapting itself to whatever comes along. Pennick states that in the modern era, mass media and the English language have done more harm to the Celts than any more overt attempts to destroy them. Pennick begins with an overview of the history of the Celts, discussing their migrations, touching briefly on the Hallstatt and La Te'ne cultures, and moving on to the ancient Britons. He briefly discusses Scotland, Cambria (Wales), Brittany and Ireland. With a historical framework in place, he moves on to lifestyle and society, mentioning druids, law systems, and clan systems. Within this context, he discusses the Celtic arts and crafts, mentioning their fine metalworking techniques and their distinctive, twisting art.

Celtic Magic ~by DJ Conway~ Conway provides a simple reference book that explainsa bit of celtic paganism and has many tables concerning the Gods, Deities
http://www.expage.com/page/Branwensgardens12

Extractions: This book gives instruction on using herbs in the magical sense. I have become very interested in herbalism recently and this book has answered all of my questions. Cunningham has a straight foward way of making some very complicated things seem a little less so. Magic and ethics is gone into in depth. Though this isn't a pagan-related book at all, it is very useful for those who want to delve into herbalism since the two areas (magical and medicinal) are often very much related. It is good to see your herbs from all aspects to be able to understand what they are fully capable of. Plus, there are a lot of warnings that one should consider about various herbs listed in this reference book.
