The Celtic Twilight

The Celtic Twilight refers to a cultural and literary movement that celebrates Ireland’s mystical, folkloric, and spiritual traditions. Emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it emphasizes a sense of Irish identity rooted in ancient myths, legends, and nature. Writers like W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory believed these stories and beliefs held deep emotional and artistic significance, inspiring a revival of Irish culture. The movement embodies a longing for Ireland’s mystical past, blending tradition with modern consciousness, and fostering national pride through the preservation and reinterpretation of Ireland’s unique heritage.
