Bardic Tradition

The Bardic Tradition refers to an ancient practice where storytellers, poets, and musicians, known as bards, preserved and passed down cultural narratives, history, and values through oral performance. Originating in various cultures, such as Celtic societies, bards used their skills to entertain, educate, and inspire communities. They often recited epic tales, sang songs, and shared wisdom, helping to maintain a sense of identity and continuity in their societies. This tradition emphasizes the importance of memory, artistry, and the role of the storyteller in shaping cultural heritage.
