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!

Hi, I am looking for a comprehensive resource, either book or a web page or a post, explaining who is who and why in celtic myths, especially from Wales.

I am especially interested in works that try to explain why such a god was created with certain atributes and role, how the culture, geography and politics shaped their depictions. I can assume that all dark goods are conected to the sea because how dangerous it is, and how all the enemies allways come from the sea, and how people die just fishing and stuff, buy I don’t want to assume, I really want something that states it for me based on reaserch.

I would also love something on just social rules and power structure in celtic Wales. I am particularly interested in the period between 300-500 ad.

I am reading Mabinogion right now and would love to understand why. I am not looking for tales and stories, but for a road map to understand them.

Hi there, my sister passed away and this was one of her last drawings when doing so. Could somebody help me out which runes are included and what they possibly mean?

I have Celtic ancestry and I want to incorporate Celtic lore and mythology into a fantasy world I'm building. I'm working on the world map rn and I'm curious if there's a name that Celtic people generally would have used as a name for the land they live on? Or is it more that Irish people's name for the land was different from the Scottish name for the land. Please let me know!

This proud Canadian artist is sharing art I’ve made over the years celebrating our amazing country. So much to be grateful for. It’s not perfect. But it is filled with a vast beauty, from forest roots to cultural diversity.

Girlfriend offered to buy me a tattoo for my birthday, and ive been considering getting a Celtic Band. for context my Dad and his father are both from the Highlands and speak Gaelic. but I didnt grow up in britian and im pretty disconnected from that side of my family and heritage. none the less they both had these tattoos and I'd like to get one in honour of them. just wanted to know what a correct looking one would be as i wouldn't want to be ignorant and get an Irish tattoo instead of a Scottish one.

I recently came across the efforts to revive the Cornish language and preserve Cornish Celtic traditions, and while reading about Cornish folklore I discovered the legend of Jan Tregeagle.

I found the story fascinating, especially how he has become a restless supernatural figure tied to the Cornish landscape.

Inspired by the legend, I wrote a short scene for one of my science-fantasy stories. I tried to keep Tregeagle recognisable while imagining how the old myths might survive thousands of years into the future.

I'd love to hear what people familiar with Cornish folklore think.

A small cabin near the coast of Bodmin, west of Northern City...

The family had spent all their savings to buy a reinforced fisher's cottage surrounded by grey-green-blue waters, hoping to live independently from the megacorporations. It even had its own solar power generation and a reverse-osmosis water purification system supplied by Lionheart Enterprises.

Five entropic demons, resembling giant crimson caterpillars, clawed at the walls of the house.

The creatures were moments away from breaking through one of the reinforced windows when the temperature suddenly dropped.

The mist thickened.

Frost spread across the synthetic floorboards.

One light went out.

Then another.

Only then...

The figure appeared.

A strange, ethereal man dressed like an ancient lawyer, or perhaps a tax collector.

"HO!!!" the ghostly entity roared.

The monstrous creatures froze before the eerie apparition.

Then he spoke in a preternatural howl:

"Yth esov vy ow kelwel dhis y fydh gans an fos ow tos dhyworth an bedh, mes nyns y fydh kenwel dhis y fydh gans ow wul owth omdhiswul."

Even though no one present understood the ancient words, every soul inside the cottage understood their meaning:

"Thou hast found it easy to bring me from the grave, but thou wilt not find it so easy to put me away."

The aliens felt fear—not of physical danger, but of something far older and far more terrifying.

EDIT: 2026-07-04
I changed a lot my original story. I loved Jan´s myth as I read more about it.
This is the story now:

Long before corporations ruled Eternalia, before orbital cities and quantum machines, there lived a man named Jan Tregeagle.

A tax collector.

A fraud.

A man feared by every village he visited.

His death should have been the end of his story.

Instead, it became the beginning of a legend.

For a thousand years, strange tales have been whispered across the Merchant Cities. Roads mysteriously cleared after storms. Bridges repaired overnight. Stables cleaned before dawn. Fishermen hearing chains in the mist. Travellers who swear they saw a lonely figure walking beneath the moon, burdened by an endless penitence.

Some say he is cursed by the gods.

Some say he is pursued by demons.

Others believe he simply cannot rest until every wrong he committed has been repaid.

No one truly knows.

This collection of short tales follows the legend of Jan Tregeagle as it passes from generation to generation, where history slowly becomes folklore, and folklore becomes myth.

Inspired by the ancient Cornish legend of Jan Tregeagle, and respectfully reimagined within the world of *Legends of Eternalia*.

My sincere thanks to Cornwall Council's Culture Team and members of the Cornish language community for their guidance on the Cornish translation and pronunciation used later in this book.

I'd also like to thank the Cornish community on Reddit, whose advice pointed me in the right direction.

Their enthusiasm and knowledge inspired me to write this book.

This is the official translation;

Do ppl still handfast?

Went to the library over the weekend and randomly stumbled across "Celtic knotwork design" by Sheila Sturrock. I had my sketch book with me so I decided I would try drawing some of the designs.

​

The designs on the second photo, left page are my first attempts. I ended up checking out the library book and now I'm hooked. I can't wait to incorporate Celtic knots into my art work!!

If I should not post videos like this here, maybe once a month... please let me know it. Just sharing some experiences in the Celt world.

I loved this song 20 years ago, and I still do today.

Alasdair Mac Colla — warrior, leader, legend.

The song itself feels like a bard's tale: a battle song telling of Alasdair's deeds and the destruction of Aberdeen. It has that rare quality of being both powerful and joyful. Something you can listen to... and something you should probably dance to.

Although this is a Scottish song, it always reminds me of my time in Westport, Co. Mayo, Ireland.

There was an incredible pub there. I was told it belonged to a member of Capercaillie, the band performing this song. The atmosphere was unlike anywhere else I have been. Traditional Irish folk music was played there regularly, and it felt like stepping into another world for an evening.

I enjoyed it back then, but honestly, I think I would appreciate it even more today.

Want to relax with ASMR in Breton language? 🧘 The Brezhoweb team presents in ASMR the ASMR videos in Breton that already exist! 🎙️ Breton is the Celtic language spoken in Brittany.

I recently painted this 75 mm metal miniature depicting Boudica, queen of the Iceni, who led the revolt against Roman rule in Britain in 60–61 CE.

While painting it, I tried to avoid a purely fantasy appearance and instead leaned toward a look inspired by what is known about Iron Age Britain and Celtic material culture. Of course, we have no contemporary depiction of Boudica herself, so many details remain speculative.

I would be interested in hearing how historians and enthusiasts view the clothing, jewelry, weapons, and overall portrayal. Which elements seem plausible, and which would likely be inaccurate for an Iceni noblewoman of the period?
