Celtic Spirituality
Celtic Spirituality is a belief system rooted in the traditions of the ancient Celtic peoples of Europe, particularly in regions like Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It emphasizes a deep connection to nature, viewing the natural world as sacred and imbued with spiritual significance. This spirituality often incorporates elements of mythology, folklore, and the reverence of various deities and spirits associated with the land.
Central to Celtic Spirituality is the concept of the Otherworld, a mystical realm that exists alongside the physical world. Practices may include rituals, celebrations of seasonal festivals like Samhain and Beltane, and the honoring of ancestors. The use of symbols, such as the Celtic knot, reflects the interconnectedness of life and the cyclical nature of existence.
