Celtic mythology
Celtic mythology encompasses the rich traditions, legends, and beliefs of the ancient Celtic peoples, primarily from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. It features a pantheon of gods and goddesses, such as the Dagda and Brigid, who embody nature, war, and fertility. Central themes include the Otherworld, a mystical realm of faeries and spirits, and stories of heroism, such as those found in the tales of Cú Chulainn and the Tuatha Dé Danann. These myths reflect the Celts' connection to nature, their values, and their understanding of life, death, and the cycles of existence.
