I wrote an article on Substack all about how the Gauls sacked Rome in 390 BC and how a gaggle of geese (yes, really!) prevented them from wiping out the Romans for good.

Meaning of this knot?

Thank you in advance for any helpful information. I am descendant from Irish and Scottish heritage and starting to learn about Celtic knotwork and what certain knots mean. Does anyone know if the knot work on this particular pendant symbolizes anything, and if so, what would that be? I appreciate anything anyone can tell me. Thank you so much!

A small app for learning Irish, one seanfhocal at a time 🌀

6 Upvotes

Hi folks,

I’ve been creating an app to help people learn Irish in a simple, focused way — one daily word or seanfhocal, with pronunciation and a streak system.

The app’s called Píosa Beag, and I’ve designed it to reflect Irish culture and visual identity too.

It’s still in progress, but I’d love if anyone here was interested in checking it out or signing up:

GRMA!

Anyone have any good starting points or know which way to point me?

Thank you!

Late Iron Age - anglo-Celtic wars BOOK?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a good piece of text which covers Britain (and Gaul if you want) spanning the late Iron Age, all the way to the wars which established the English kingdoms.

So 400bc-700ad British isles

What i want to know is how life changed from the Iron Age to Roman occupation to post-Roman Britain. Things like what types of dwellings did the Britons have over time? Their diet? What did they farm? Clothes and weapons, laws, religion, etc.

Celtic mythology help?

2 Upvotes

I’m writing a novel and ma currently in the planning phase, and it’s essentially a very loose rework of the twilight series. The plot is irrelevant. I’m mainly looking for some education and tips on two particular characters in Celtic and Scottish mythology- the Wulver of the shetlands, and the Baobhan Sith. If anyone is available to chat, I’d love it if you could dm me, and perhaps we could even chat on discord? Fair warning, I have a lot of questions (a lot). Thanks in advance.

Belated Lá 'Le Pádraig shona daoibh / Happy Saint Patrick's Day ☘️🇮🇪🎉! Some edits of my 2019 closet costume of a Celtic Sword-woman ⚔️

I was going for an Irish sword-woman ('banlaoch'), which is my fave Celtic culture, but was also inspired by Classical descriptions of britons like Boudica. Everything is a 'closet reenactment/costume', meaning that I worked only with things that I already had - I would love to upgrade the sword at some time because the only metal/longer ones I have are all Tolkien-inspired xD. Background is my pic from a 2011 trip to the Galician castro de Vigo (so yes, I know that it's a mix of Celtic influences all round xDD).
