| | RealMagick Article: Celtic Gods and Heros: Introduction to Celtic Mythology by John Patrick Parle |
| | This Celtic mythology has hundreds of characters and is perhaps even more fantastical than Greek and Roman myths. | | | A Celtic mythology of broad dimensions and rich quality exists, recounting the heroic stories of ancestral peoples of some 2,500 years ago. | | | And lovers of ancient stories who are not of Celtic descent will no doubt appreciate the many splendid Celtic myths, which for most are relatively unknown. |

They then go on to discuss other defeated Celtic heroes who can be associated with this time of the year. | | | I say proposed because it is not certain whether the Celts did actually celebrate these festivals. |

| | "Celtic peoples" are defined as those ethnic groups which spoke or speak a derivative of the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family. | | | And thus, as Roman culture spread through the Celtic lands and Christianity replaced the old beliefs, much of the venerated lore of the tribes was deposited within one central storehouse, a vehicle that has preserved these tales for over a thousand years: the Arthurian legend. | | | With his name translated to Merlin by Geoffrey, the wizard takes his place as the most prominent Celtic element in the entire Arthurian mythos. |

| | In any case, we find in Celtic mythology a strong foundation in ancient goddess (mother earth) and fertility religion (common throughout the ancient world), merged with the peculiar emphasis on the Otherworld and its accessibility to mankind found in the druid religion. | | | There is some evidence to suggest that the druid hierarchy spanned Celtic Europe with some archdruids having ultimate jurisdiction over large areas. | | | It is very difficult to interpret the archeological and historical evidence since the Celts had no written language. |
