Celts Essay, Research Paper

Who are the Celts?

Celts is the name given to a culture rather than a race. Celts varied from curly hair brown hair through red hair. They occupied central and Northern Europe including the British Isles in the Pre-roman period, gradually being pushed further north and westwards by the Roman peoples and the Nordic and Saxon peoples. They were a non-urban people. They lived on small holdings, and kept animals, grew crops and hunted. A typical Celtic house probably looked like a thatched log cabin surrounded by a stockade. They didn’t trade much, but metals – especially bronze and iron – were rare and precious, and were probably traded. Women seemed to often be of high status in burial sites. There are a lot of women buried with full honors. There are also some examples of bodies well over six foot tall, which suggests that either height was highly regarded, or that it was not uncommon.1 Druids were the means by which the culture probably gained its unity. They would have been the remains of the shamanic hunting religions, adapted to the rural lifestyle. They would have been the repository of tribal knowledge, and probably wandered from settlement to settlement spreading and receiving information. There was not much written down at that time at all ,so most information comes adulterated. Caesar and the Romans mention the Celts, as do one or two other sources. Mediaeval writers wrote down some of the remaining legends of Taliesin, and the Irish Kings but much of what was written was probably corrupted by politics . Women were on more or less equal footing as men, being accomplished warriors, merchants and rulers. Celtic society was typically more equal in terms of gender roles. The bravery of the Celts in battle is legendary. They often spurned body armor, going naked into battle. The Celtic remnants live on in our culture today from the Irish, and the Scots (who are Irish who discovered boats and ran away to Scotland and the Welsh, plus a few areas in Brittany. All the ‘tribes of Britain’ would be classed as Celts. You may know some Celtic legends such as Conan the barbarian, King Arthur.

History of Celts

The Celts evolved from the Urn Culture (given that name because of the burial system of cremation and placement of ashes in urns which in turn were buried in fields.2 much earlier than the Romanized Celtic world of the late 500-400 BC. Around 1500-lOOOBC, the Celts lived in an area which today is mostly in Eastern France. The area stretched from roughly where Luxembourg is today to a bit further south than Geneva and took in parts of West Germany and Switzerland. It was an area a little bigger than the island of Ireland. The original Celtic homeland was an area of Austria, near southern Germany. From here they expanded over much of continental Europe and Britain. The Celts then expanded to cover an area covering most of Western Europe and Central Europe. Around 400BC, the Celts lived in Britain, Ireland, France , Luxemburg, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech and Slovak Republics. Celts also lived in parts of Spain , northern Italy, The Netherlands, the southern half of Germany, and parts of Poland and Russia3.After the height of their power, the Celts were pushed north and west by successive waves of Indo-European peoples, mostly Germanic and Latin based. The main migration was by the Gauls into France, northern Italy and the north of Europe.

In this time the Celtic people here were an iron using people who traded salt to the south as far as Italy and as far north as Bohemia. “The goods made of iron indicated a sophisticated and hierarchical society. These people, superb iron-workers, owned and buried beautifully-decorated vessels, ornamented weaponry and horse trappings, all of a standard much advanced upon that recorded from earlier Europe, reflecting a decisive and recognizable social structure.”4

The Hallstatt Culture was the Celts between the beginning of the ninth century B.C. and the middle of the seventh century B.C. – an iron-using, farming, trading people. So, Hallstatt has more to do with the state of development of the whole society than the time at which this development was achieved. For example, artifacts found in Ireland dated four-hundred years later than those found at Hallstatt may still be described as Hallstatt because of the way in which they were made . This was the first of the iron age cultures. The western regions of this culture, between France and west Germany, already spoke a Celtic language. Around the year 600 BC the Greek geographer Herodotus writes of the Celts dwelling beyond Spain and the Upper Danube.5

From the Halstat period they moved into La Tene period around 450 B.C. .La Tene meant more decorative burials, better decoration on swords, helmets, brooches, more people lived in the cities. “La Tene time is when the Celts changed from a bunch of tribes to more of a civilization.. They had mobility, style, trade, power. In this time they were recognized by most of Europe as a civilization. They had earned respect for there elegance and heroism. Whatever the make up of the bronze age population, they formed the basis of the early iron age cultures. At their peak, the Celts ranged from Ireland and Spain to Turkey. A brief rundown on some of the regions is given now:

England, Scotland and Ireland

The name Britain derives from Celtic. The Greek author Pytheas called them the “Pretanic Isles” which derived from the inhabitants name for themselves, Pritani. This was mistranslated into Latin as “Brittania” or “Brittani”. The Celts migrated to Ireland from Europe, conquering the original inhabitants. In clashes with the Romans around the River Clyde a tribe called the “Scott” came to prominence. Later the Scotti moved from Northern Island to establish the Kingdom of Dalriada in Argyll on the West coast of Scotland.6 From here the Scots expanded and took over the Picts, a Celtic people who arrived in Scotland earlier. Ireland was never invaded by the Romans and retains what is probably the language closest to the original Celtic, Irish Gaelic.

France

Modern France is a composite of many earlier peoples. The Celts settled there and the largest tribe, called the Gall by the Romans, gave their name to the region and people, the Gauls. The Gauls were heavily involved in the invasions of Northern Italy. When the Roman Empire expanded many of the Gaullish tribes fled, but some stayed and became Romanised, losing the Celtic language. Later a Germanic tribe, the Franks, invaded the area and settled. The Franks gave their name to the region but adopted the language and customs of the people. France is a Celtic people, speaking a Romance language in a country with a Germanic name.

The Golden Age of the Celts

The Celts were at their height during the 4th and 5th centuries BC. During this time they waged three great wars, which had great influence on the history of southern Europe.

About 500 BC the Celts conquered Spain, wresting it from Carthage. Around 400 BC they took Northern Italy from the Etruscans. Here they settled in great numbers. At the end of the 4th century the overran Pannonia, conquering the Illyrians. All these wars were fought in alliance with the Greeks. At this time the Celts and Greeks were on very friendly terms. The defeat of Carthage broke the monopoly on British tin and Spanish silver and freed the land trade routes to Britain.

The Fall of the Celtic Empire

By the year 300 BC the Celts had lost their political unity and the Empire began breaking apart. Tribes began wandering in search of new lands. Some went to Greece, where they outraged their former allies at the sack of Delphi (973 BC). Others renewed the war with Rome, in alliance with the Etruscans, and were defeated at Sentinum (295 BC) and Lake Vadimo (283 BC). One group went into Asia Minor, and founded Galatia where a Celtic dialect was still spoken until 400 BC.7 These were eventually assimilated into Turkey. Others enlisted as mercenaries with Carthage. Wars between Celts and Germans or Celts who had settled earlier were fought all over Mid-Europe, Gaul and Britain. By the end of this the only Celtic strongholds were Britain and Gaul.

Modern Celts

Most people of European descent today can count on some Celtic ancestry. A typical impression of a Celt today is the short, dark haired Irishman. But by all ancient accounts the Celts were tall and fair of skin and hair. “True” Celts today do not really exist, the closest examples are the Highlanders of Perthshire and Northwest Scotland the families of the old ruling race in Ireland and Wales. Over the centuries the racial characteristics of the pre-Celt inhabitants of Europe has surfaced, the Celts typically settled in areas as a ruling class and held themselves apart from those there before them. The Celts, being a strong warrior class, were at the forefront of battles and perished more than the subject people. The main contribution to the Celts has been largely a cultural one.

Druids

The immense power of the Druids was the weakness of the Celtic society. No nation that is ruled by priests drawing their authority from supernatural sanctions is capable of true progress. The Celts fanatic attitude towards their religion inevitably helped bring down their empire. The Celts were extremely superstitious, and regarded it as the worst punishment to be banished from a community. The Druids are generally free from military service, nor do they pay taxes. Encouraged by such rewards, many on their own accord come to their schools, and are sent by their friends and relations. They are said to get by heart a great number of verses, some continue twenty years in their education: neither is it held lawful to commit these things Druidic doctrines;

It is likely that Druids were originally the priests of the megalithic pre-Celtic peoples of Western Europe. During the Celtic expansion the Druids were adopted by the highly religious Celts and the numerous Celtic deities and beliefs were adopted by the Druids. Druidism, in general, is by the original druids, who were the priest class of pre-Christian Celtic cultures. How far they go to recreate the rituals and practices of the druids can vary, but is generally hampered by the fact that the original druids didn’t write things down. What survives of their lore was what was written down by monks in the early Christian era, and what information comes to us from folklore and artifacts. Druids pursued such things as scholarship, leadership, healing, art, solar holidays, and the old Celtic agricultural festivals. They hold public rituals, that all are invited to attend and participate. They seem to have been responsible for all public religious rituals (private ones were run by the heads of each household). Public ceremonies were most often held in fenced groves of sacred trees. These were usually of birch, yew, and oak , depending upon the subset of deities or ancestors being addressed, as well as the specific occasion. Various members of the priestly caste would be responsible for music, recitation of prayers, sacrificing of animals and occasionally a human . Senior members of the caste would be responsible for making sure that the rites were done exactly according to tradition. Without such supervision, public rituals were generally impossible, thus all public Gaulish sacrifices required a Druid to be present. There was a belief in reincarnation with time spent between lives in an Other World very similar to the Earthly one, in the sacredness of particular trees, in the continuing relationship between mortals, ancestors and deities, and naturally in the standard laws of magic.

Only the western Celtic clergy (the Druids) seem to have had any sort of organized intertribal communications network. Most of the rest of the clergy seem to have kept to their own local tribes. Among the Germanic peoples, the priestly class had weakened by the early centuries to the point where the majority of ritual work was done by the heads of households. We don’t know whether or not any but the highest ranking clergy were full-time priests and priestesses

Herbs and Plants in Celtic Folklore

Until fairly recently, in Irish and Scottish rural society it was believed that sickness and disease were caused by the fairies. A remedy could only be given by a ‘fairy doctor’, a person gifted with some natural skill in combatting fairy magic. The most common herbs used in Gaelic fairy medicine were VERVAIN, EYE BRIGHT & YARROW , secret words would be said and a ritual performed. A potion made of herbs by a fairy doctor must be paid for in silver. However, charms are to be paid for with a gift.

Certain trees in particular places are said to be under the care and protection of the Sidhe. A lone thorn bush growing in an uncultivated field is often such a tree, especially if it is growing on a sharp hill slope.

Hawthorn is the favorite, but other important fairy trees are: hazel, blackthorn, elder, rowan, willow, also alder and ash. The site of each tree is important to the Sidhe. It must be growing within the banks of a fort, inside a fairy ring, or in a rocky field of rough grass, especially if growing near to a large boulder or a spring.

The sidhe will protect their special trees. If someone harms or disturbs the tree, they will suffer, often by becoming ill. If three thorn trees grow close together, it is dangerous to get involved with them. It is considered unlucky to bring hawthorn into the house.

Who are the Celts?

Celts is the name given to a culture rather than a race. Celts varied from curly hair brown hair through red hair. They occupied central and Northern Europe including the British Isles in the Pre-roman period, gradually being pushed further north and westwards by the Roman peoples and the Nordic and Saxon peoples. They were a non-urban people. They lived on small holdings, and kept animals, grew crops and hunted. A typical Celtic house probably looked like a thatched log cabin surrounded by a stockade. They didn’t trade much, but metals – especially bronze and iron – were rare and precious, and were probably traded. Women seemed to often be of high status in burial sites. There are a lot of women buried with full honors. There are also some examples of bodies well over six foot tall, which suggests that either height was highly regarded, or that it was not uncommon.1 Druids were the means by which the culture probably gained its unity. They would have been the remains of the shamanic hunting religions, adapted to the rural lifestyle.

History of Celts

The Celts evolved from the Urn Culture (given that name because of the burial system of cremation and placement of ashes in urns which in turn were buried in fields.2 much earlier than the Romanized Celtic world of the late 500-400 BC. Around 1500-lOOOBC, the Celts lived in an area which today is mostly in Eastern France. The area stretched from roughly where Luxembourg is today to a bit further south than Geneva and took in parts of West Germany and Switzerland. It was an area a little bigger than the island of Ireland. The original Celtic homeland was an area of Austria, near southern Germany. From here they expanded over much of continental Europe and Britain. The Celts then expanded to cover an area covering most of Western Europe and Central Europe. Around 400BC, the Celts lived in Britain, Ireland, France , Luxemburg, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech and Slovak Republics. Celts also lived in parts of Spain , northern Italy, The Netherlands, the southern half of Germany, and parts of Poland and Russia3.After the height of their power, the Celts were pushed north and west by successive waves of Indo-European peoples, mostly Germanic and Latin based. The main migration was by the Gauls into France, northern Italy and the north of Europe.

In this time the Celtic people here were an iron using people who traded salt to the south as far as Italy and as far north as Bohemia. “The goods made of iron indicated a sophisticated and hierarchical society. These people, superb iron-workers, owned and buried beautifully-decorated vessels, ornamented weaponry and horse trappings, all of a standard much advanced upon that recorded from earlier Europe, reflecting a decisive and recognizable social structure.”4

The Hallstatt Culture was the Celts between the beginning of the ninth century B.C. and the middle of the seventh century B.C. – an iron-using, farming, trading people. So, Hallstatt has more to do with the state of development of the whole society than the time at which this development was achieved. For example, artifacts found in Ireland dated four-hundred years later than those found at Hallstatt may still be described as Hallstatt because of the way in which they were made . This was the first of the iron age cultures. The western regions of this culture, between France and west Germany, already spoke a Celtic language. Around the year 600 BC the Greek geographer Herodotus writes of the Celts dwelling beyond Spain and the Upper Danube.5

From the Halstat period they moved into La Tene period around 450 B.C. .La Tene meant more decorative burials, better decoration on swords, helmets, brooches, more people lived in the cities. “La Tene time is when the Celts changed from a bunch of tribes to more of a civilization..

Whatever the make up of the bronze age population, they formed the basis of the early iron age cultures. At their peak, the Celts ranged from Ireland and Spain to Turkey. A brief rundown on some of the regions is given now:

England, Scotland and Ireland

The name Britain derives from Celtic. The Greek author Pytheas called them the “Pretanic Isles” which derived from the inhabitants name for themselves, Pritani. This was mistranslated into Latin as “Brittania” or “Brittani”. The Celts migrated to Ireland from Europe, conquering the original inhabitants. In clashes with the Romans around the River Clyde a tribe called the “Scott” came to prominence. Later the Scotti moved from Northern Island to establish the Kingdom of Dalriada in Argyll on the West coast of Scotland.6 From here the Scots expanded and took over the Picts, a Celtic people who arrived in Scotland earlier. Ireland was never invaded by the Romans and retains what is probably the language closest to the original Celtic, Irish Gaelic.

France

Modern France is a composite of many earlier peoples. The Celts settled there and the largest tribe, called the Gall by the Romans, gave their name to the region and people, the Gauls. The Gauls were heavily involved in the invasions of Northern Italy. When the Roman Empire expanded many of the Gaullish tribes fled, but some stayed and became Romanised, losing the Celtic language. Later a Germanic tribe, the Franks, invaded the area and settled. The Franks gave their name to the region but adopted the language and customs of the people. France is a Celtic people, speaking a Romance language in a country with a Germanic name.

The Golden Age of the Celts

The Celts were at their height during the 4th and 5th centuries BC. During this time they waged three great wars, which had great influence on the history of southern Europe.

About 500 BC the Celts conquered Spain, wresting it from Carthage. Around 400 BC they took Northern Italy from the Etruscans. Here they settled in great numbers. At the end of the 4th century the overran Pannonia, conquering the Illyrians. All these wars were fought in alliance with the Greeks. At this time the Celts and Greeks were on very friendly terms. The defeat of Carthage broke the monopoly on British tin and Spanish silver and freed the land trade routes to Britain.

The Fall of the Celtic Empire

By the year 300 BC the Celts had lost their political unity and the Empire began breaking apart. Tribes began wandering in search of new lands. Some went to Greece, where they outraged their former allies at the sack of Delphi (973 BC). Others renewed the war with Rome, in alliance with the Etruscans, and were defeated at Sentinum (295 BC) and Lake Vadimo (283 BC). One group went into Asia Minor, and founded Galatia where a Celtic dialect was still spoken until 400 BC.7 These were eventually assimilated into Turkey. Others enlisted as mercenaries with Carthage. Wars between Celts and Germans or Celts who had settled earlier were fought all over Mid-Europe, Gaul and Britain. By the end of this the only Celtic strongholds were Britain and Gaul.

Modern Celts

Most people of European descent today can count on some Celtic ancestry. A typical impression of a Celt today is the short, dark haired Iris
