      It does not existed anything called "celtic religion", because in ancient times people in Europe had their own system of believes and traditions. Religion as we know it started with the globalist Vatican mafia and their other minion allies of islamism and judaism

      I read about Ogmios, the celtic Hercules, showing the figure of an old wise man, less a bit about the physical power. Just like today's chinese, they had a moon base kind of calender.
      Nice video, by the way. One of the most interesting population ever to have passed on earth, i believe. 🙏

    They didn't just "adopt" Roman beliefs. Both Celts, Romans & Greeks, among many others, share earlier ancestral linguistic roots. The Romans also adopted the Celtic deity of horses & though they didn't really understand these shared roots, they saw parallels between the gods & traditions of both cultures.

      It's most certainly both. Having similar roots from millennia earlier, then developing distinct practices, only to come back into contact and influence each other. It's pretty interesting.

    In Australia, you have a state region called "New South Wales", in Spanish being: "Nueva GALES del sur". Wales in Spanish is: Gales, again you have the root word "GAL", from the ethnic celtic Galic group who founded the State of Wales. This celtic group of people named themselves "Galos" and left their cultural name in the places in which they settle or traveled. In Ireland and rest of British isles are plenty of sites with the "Gal" root word like:
    Glens (name for valleys in Ireland)
    Galway
    Galloway
    Glastonbury
    Glasgow
    DoneGAL (county and town in Ireland)
    FinGAL (county in Ireland)
    Glencar Lake
    Vale of Glamorgan (county Borough in Wales)
    Glenrothes (town in Scotland)
    Galashields (town in Scotland), etc...

      @jacobparry177 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Quick correction: Glasgow and Glastonbury don't come from the same root as 'Gal'. The Glas in both represent a colour (usually Blue, but sometimes grey and green). It can also mean Fresh.

      @@jacobparry177 Wrong in all aspects. Gal root usually is associated and represents a variety of terms, mostly: white, great, powerful, leader, a handsome man (gal, pal), etc. PortuGAL for example means: "porto dos galos" (port of white people) in reference of the west European white race of haplogroups male R1b and female U)

      A lot of these names you have mentioned have nothing to do with 'Gal.' Any word starting with Glen has nothing to the root word Gal. The word for Wales, in the Welsh language is Cymru. Wales is not and has never been a Gaelic speaking country. Gaels, Gals, Gaeilge etc refers to Celtic countries that speak the Q Celtic language, like Gaelic in Scotland or Ireland. Welsh is a Brythonic P Celtic language. A different branch of Celtic languages compared to Gal or Gaelic.

    I read a translated text by a Greek anthropologist about how human sacrifice was by no means rare and it went into exceuciating detail, and the ‘stone 3:20 representation of god’ is actually a Germanic statue of a ‘Germanic man’ oml

    Celts not only believe in reincarnation, we reincarnate. This isn't my first or second time here.
    My favorite part of our spiritually is returning to Tir na N OG. That's Home. Last time I was thrown out of here was by the Roman's in 57 AD.
    1900 years in Tir na N OG . where do you think we really live.
    No one is allowed out in the Universe that's unkind. Until Humanity learns the art of kindness. Humanity is stuck here.
    This is the lesson. Take a look.
    Do you see lots of kindness?
    We need to change the paradigm.
    We need to be considerate of others.
    Kindness instead of violence.
    We have been here all along in one form or another. Who do you think the Dinosaurs were?
    If you keep bombing this planet the crust will crumble. Then you'll be spirits on hot lava. I suppose that means you start over as a mineral in the ground. Like the first time.
    I honestly don't know that though.

      In reality all what people understands as "celtic" culture proceeds from eastern Europe (Ukraine), to central Europe, Galia (France), northwest and west of Iberian peninsula and British isles as they migrated all the way from eastern Europe to the west since thousands of years. Cultural names for this "celtic" group of people are Galos, Galegos, Gaels, Galeses, etc. It's just a matter of understand and reclaim real culture and history from place names and toponyms of tribes in which they left their cultural names in places where they settle or traveled.
      For example the name "Portugal" in reality comes from the port city of "Oporto", which in ancient times was called "Oportugal" and means in celtic indoeuropean: "O porto dos Galos" (port or harbor of Galos). Word "Galos" or "Galegos" being the name by which the celtic race identified themselves in Iberian peninsula and who settle there in Oporto and founded that port city, which was the ancient capital of the kingdom of Galicia in north and west Iberia.
      Similar with name "Galicia" (which was a kingdom comprised by nowadays Galicia + Portugal without Algarve and half of Beja regions + west end parts of Asturias and Leon Spanish provinces), founded by the same race of people, the Galos. In Iberia Galos (celts) also called themselves "Galegos", a name meaning: "Galic gods" or "Great Gods" because they were the most powerful race of Galos by their time. Root word "Gal" means in indoeuropean and semitic languages "Great" or "White skins".
      Elven people in different cultural works (like "Lord of the rings" or the Witcher books) and folklore in reality were Galos (celts) in ancient times without any admixture from other races. Also they didn't have long pointed ears, that is a misconception (deliberate or by ignorance). Normally they phenotype was tall with powerfully built bodies, white or olive skin, Red, Brown or bronze hair with light eyes (green to silver gradient)

      Their pointy ears isn't by accident, this is his idea of the physical manifestation of the mythological Light Elves, and there are no "olive" Elves, they are all pale white of skin.
