Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Celtic mythology is filled with mysterious gods, heroic warriors, supernatural beings, sacred places, and stories of a world where the boundaries between the human and supernatural realms could be surprisingly thin.Celtic Mythology: Druids, Otherworlds, and Sacred Landscapes explores the myths, traditions, beliefs, and landscapes associated with the Celtic peoples of ancient and medieval Europe.Readers will discover the gods, goddesses, heroes, warriors, kings, and supernatural beings who appear in Irish and Welsh traditions, including figures such as the Dagda, Brigid, Lugh, Cú Chulainn, the Morrígan, and other legendary characters. The book explores stories of heroic battles, magical transformations, sacred wells, enchanted islands, mysterious forests, and journeys into the Otherworld.Particular attention is given to the druids and their place in Celtic society, religion, and later historical traditions. The book also examines sacred landscapes, including rivers, springs, groves, hills, standing stones, and ancient monuments that became connected with religious belief and folklore.Because most surviving Celtic mythology was written down after the conversion to Christianity, this guide also considers the challenges of reconstructing pre-Christian beliefs from medieval manuscripts, archaeology, classical accounts, and later folklore.Rather than treating Celtic mythology as a single unified religion, this book explores the differences between Celtic traditions across regions and historical periods while showing the recurring themes that connect them.For readers fascinated by ancient mythology, druids, folklore, Ireland, Wales, and the mysterious landscapes of the Celtic world, Celtic Mythology offers an engaging journey into stories that have survived for centuries.…
