Celtic traditions
Celtic traditions refer to the cultural practices and beliefs of the Celtic peoples, primarily in regions like Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany. These traditions include rich storytelling, music, and dance, often featuring instruments like the bagpipe and harp. Festivals such as Samhain and Beltane celebrate seasonal changes and agricultural cycles, reflecting a deep connection to nature.
Art and craftsmanship are also significant in Celtic culture, characterized by intricate designs and patterns, often seen in Celtic knots and Illuminated manuscripts. The Celts held a strong belief in the spiritual world, with a pantheon of deities and a reverence for the land, which influenced their rituals and daily life.
