Celtic religion in pre-Christian times

"Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times" by E. Anwyl is a journey into the spiritual world of the Celts before Christianity, capturing their beliefs, practices, and the evolution of their religious ideas. The book illustrates how key aspects of Celtic culture, such as their myths, gods, and ceremonies, influenced their societies and were influenced by them. It traces the change from early animistic beliefs to a more developed religious system featuring many gods and goddesses, and it also looks at how these changes were connected to the social and material progress of the Celtic people. The detailed analysis of archaeological proof and old writings shines light on the key role of the Druids, the specific gods they worshipped, and cultural traditions involved in rituals. The book emphasizes the deep connection of nature and community and how it influenced beliefs and societal rules.
