One Set of Definitions of What is Means to be 'Celtic' and a 'Celtic Reconstructionist' For a while I was a member of the Imbas discussion list on the net and I would like, from my experience there, to convey what the term 'Celtic Reconstructionist' can appear to mean in practise in the late twentieth century, going into the twenty-first century, for it is not quite what the simple words themselves might initially suggest Obviously it would be far too impolite to repeat conversations off-list (or to mention particular names) but I feel it important to give an overview of what 'Celtic Reconstructionism' appears to be from my experience on that list. There appears to be two "camps" developing. One "camp" believe in the crucial importance of actually being a 'Celt' in being able to practise real Celtic paganism but have a very particular and distinctive definition of precisely what being a 'Celt' entails which is taken from the historical indicators for the traditional Celtic societies: i.e. language and culture as Celt was not a racial term. Learning/speaking a Celtic language is crucial (as it not only gives you the correct mindset - it is "the matrix" of the culture) and you should also have a valid involvement in the "culture" (although this can be done from America). This means that you can be an 'aspiring' Celt (as you begin to learn the language and slowly immerse yourself in - what is deemed to be the true (Please don't shoot the messenger !

Pilgrim Place Bookstore Coffeehouse is located in Cincinnati Ohio in an old Catholic Church and Franciscan Friary. The church and friary are no longer a Rc parish but are now an ecumenical center for community renewal and spirituality. I am interested in hosting events with speakers, forums, and organizing retreats related to Celtic spirituality. Ten years ago I started a non profit called Soul Friends (anamchara?) and I have a large celtic painting at Pilgrim Place that is based upon that theme. Please refer others to us as a place for contemplation and some refelction on the way of Celtic spirituality.

63. History When I say Faerie Paganism, I mean my own idea of Faerie Paganism and Shamanism,NOT celtic paganism or Nordic Paganism in general. Sean MacDhai! http://www.eurofaerie.org/HISTORY.HTM

Some hints on the History of the Faeries Ancient wisdom of Faeryness Faery Quest The post-modern Radical Faeries In Deutsch Ancient wisdom of Faeryness Faeries are a very old beings! Faeries, the great spiritual creatures of the natural world, have been known to many cultures. To the Celts, they were the Sidhe, or People of the Mounds. To the Nordic, they were the Alfar, or Elves. A Vision Quest is a great journey into their Realm. Called "Pathworking," or "Astral Travel" in other Traditions, it is a Quest into the unknown reaches of the Other World in order to learn about oneself, one's environment, and one's spiritual beliefs. Some see this World as merely the Sub-Conscious Realm of Archetypal Images. Others see it as Astral projection. Still others see it as a journey through the space/time of Faerie, Sidhe, or Elven Realm. You must decide for yourself. Faerie-Quest Faery Quest Introduction to Faerie Paganism The Faerie Folk have inhabited the hills, valleys and plains of the Earth since the very beginning of time. Shamanism is as old and as vast as the night sky. Paganism, as a religion based on paganism, has been a part of humanity since the building of the first small communal village. Faerie Paganism is a modern expression of these Universal Creations. Faerie Shamanism and Paganism is a religion and belief system of great personal and universal power. Imbedded in the Faith of the Fey is a deep

Pagan Varieties and Pagans in Australia Pagan Varieties There are numerous traditions under the generic classification of Paganism. Whilst they all share a common thread, their individual practices and beliefs may differ greatly. Most traditions emphasise the equality of men and women. However, some traditions are specifically geared towards exploring either the male or the female, mysteries. A brief summary of the Pagan traditions most commonly practiced today follows. Please note: this is not an exhaustive list, simply a basic guide to the more popular paths within the religion. Omission of any particular path does not imply it is non-Pagan, or unacceptable as a Pagan religion. The Internet carries discussion groups for most of the traditions listed here. Asatru/Norse Paganism With its origins in northern Europe, this tradition is practiced today by those who feel an affinity with their nordic and teutonic ancestors, and who wish to study Sagas, Eddas and Runes. Asatru and Norse Paganism encourages a sense of responsibility and spiritual growth, sometimes within the context of noble warrior traditions. Celtic Paganism This is native to the Celtic and Gaelic races, and is practiced by a great many people in Australia today, who feel a strong connection to their Celtic-Gaelic roots. The essence and the teachings of the Celtic religion were encoded into the ancient legends, which were transmitted orally by the bards to the people. Modern Celtic Pagans are seeking to re-introduce this wealth of myth and knowledge into our modern world (With thanks to Clan Dalriada).

Agallamh na Paganach, Colloquy of the Pagans The Nemeton-L FAQ File created: May 1995 (by Erynn) File updated: January 1998 and again July 2002 (by Cathbad) Welcome to the Frequently Asked Questions file. We hope that this document will help to answer some of your questions about the Nemeton-L list and about Celtic Paganism and Druidry in general. Agallamh na Paganach is the joint effort of many of the members and friends of Nemeton-L. It is updated periodically with new information items of Celtic and Druidic interest. Check the date at the top of the file to see when it was most recently revised. We're glad that you are interested in our list, and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us. Erynn Laurie Listowner Emeritus +What is Nemeton-L? A Nemeton is a Celtic sacred grove. This Nemeton is an email discussion list for Celtic Pagans and Druids, intended as a place where we can gather to talk about the history, mysticism and religion of the Celtic people. While it has a primarily scholarly focus, inspiration and intuition are also welcome guides. The list was started during the summer of 1994. You do not have to be a Celtic Pagan or a Druid to subscribe to the list; all we ask is that you respect our beliefs while you are with us. While almost everything of interest to Celtic Pagans is on topic for the list, Wicca and Shamanism usually are not. There are many places on the net where these two topics are discussed, and we want to preserve some space for the discussion of specifically Celtic forms of Paganism. Discussion of the shamanic aspects of Celtic Paganism is on topic, but please try to remain within the realm of the Celts and not stray too far into Siberia.

69. Why Wicca Isn't Inherently Celtic The following is meant to be a brief comparison of Wicca in its various forms andthe religion of celtic paganism, to the purpose of showing that Wicca is not http://www.tangledmoon.org/wiccanotceltic.htm

There are many modern people who are finding fufillment in following the ancient religion of the Celts. But what is Celtic religion? When we refer to the Celtic peoples and their religion we are talking about what existed in Gaelic, Gaulish, Brythionic and other Celtic religions during the golden age of the Celts. This would be from 400 BCE to roughly 1300 BCE. While that date includes the beginnings of Celtic Christianity (which is almost a religion in and of itself), in this we will only be discussing Pagan Celtic theology. The pagan roots of Celtic spirituality has existed longer than Christianity. Unfortunately, much of what was known about classical Celtic pagan religion was either lost or combined in with Celtic Christianity, and so much of what we have to draw on is from Christian or other non-Celtic texts, and the wealth of knowledge contained in Celtic Mythology. Was there more than one form of Celtic Paganism? Undoubtedly, based upon the extreme diversity between the tribal Celts themselves. The other reason for the marked differences in regional Celtic religion is, of course, the influence of outside peoples through trading and invasion. Of course many customs and religious practices of neighboring or conquering tribes were incorporated into the Celtic tribes of the area, and through time spread to other Celtic nations as well. Before I go on, I feel I must state again that this article is by no means an attack or "debunking" of the religion known as Wicca. Wicca is indeed a valid and powerful path for those who truthfully walk it and understand it. However, there is an increasing body of people who believe that Wicca is the descendant of the religious ways of the Gaelic, Welsh, Scottish or other Celtic peoples (or 'Celts' as a general label). While perhaps parts of the Celtic Pagan tradition have been incorporated into Wicca, Wicca is not inherently Celtic, which can be shown though historical sources and through a general comparison of the two religions.

ARTICLES BOOK INFO DAILY QUOTES AUTHOR BIOS ... LINKS Welcome to the Indian Paganism site This site has two main objectives - Firstly, to contribute towards the development of modern Pagan-Hindu Magickal traditions within the fields of contemporary Paganism and Magick. Secondly, to explore the thousands of years of various Pagan and Hindu beliefs, traditions and customs in a comparative context. There already exists a great degree of shared roots and similarity between Pagan and Hindu religions, such as those of Wicca and Tantrika. Today many modern eclectic Pagans, Witches and Magicians work with Hindu deities and various aspects of Hindu paths. There are also groups who are working in Pagan-Hindu Magickal systems. This site, and the coming book 'Indian Paganism', aim to help the continuing development of this movement by assisting in the growth of modern Pagan-Hindu Magickal traditions and practices. Click to subscribe to Indian Paganism Daily Quotes The Indian Paganism site also offers a free daily quote service which shares either a Pagan, Hindu, or Magickal quote each day. Quotes are drawn from a wide variety of quality sources and reflect the extensive philosophy and underlying unity which exist between Paganism and Hinduism. The main resource areas from which quotes are drawn are Wiccan, Witchcraft, Classical Pagan, Neo-Pagan, Tantrik, Vedic, and Ceremonial Magick. A few of the authors and figures quoted include Starhawk, Doreen Valiente, Stewart Farrar, Marcus Aurelius, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Sivananda, Bhagavan Nityanandaji, Sri Ramakrishna, Aliester Crowley, Dion Fortune, and Eliphis Levi.

What is Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism Revision History Version 1.0 : 2002-05-30 An interesting point was raised on a mailing list. The person, a great craftsman, said, that he knew what Celtic Reconstructionalism wasn't but did not know what it was. So as a result of that comment I have come to write this small text in order to try to illustrate what I think it is to be a Celtic Reconstructionalist pagan / heathen. Of course, this is built up from my opinions, and observations and not everyone that is a CR may agree with them. Strong Sense Of Community Community is the most important part of being a Celt. Those that are part of your group are more than just like minded individuals, they become your brothers and sisters. Lending assistance when needed becomes second nature. Some groups are able to live this community quite strongly, and are building small villages, all self funded. Others unfortunately suffer from our modern living structures and have to travel to visit each other, but their sense of brotherhood is not dimished. The idea of community goes beyond the close-knit group that makes up a Tuath, interaction with other CR groups, and related groups (Asatru for instance) is enjoyed and encouraged. This shown in most CR groups having a general policy of 'open rituals', that allows anyone to attend (whilst obviously following certain rules of etiquette). Ritual is not a closed circle, designed for the initiated, but a family and community affair where the Gods are honoured for the benefit of everyone.
