Items related to Celtic Sexuality
While the Celts remained relatively isolated in the British Isles, they developed unique sexual customs and practices. Morality and guilt were not linked to sexual behaviour and both sexes enjoyed sexual relationships with multiple partners. The laws reflected not what people should do but what they did do. However, the Celtic way of life could not exist in isolation. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Saxon invaders swept across Britain. Christian missionaries established outposts in the Celtic lands, competing with the traditional beliefs of the druids. The Celtic view of sexuality gradually changed. This book explores the relationship between sexuality and such areas as war, politics, law and spirituality.

Book Description "This engaging account of the sexual customs and practices of the early Celts is told against the background of European history during the first millennium A.D. While the Celts remained relatively isolated in the British Isles, they developed unique sexual customs and practices. Men and women enjoyed marriages with multiple partners and rough sexual equality. And their laws reflected not what people should do, but what they did do. However, the Celtic way of life could not long endure in isolation. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe was in ferment. Saxon invaders hungry for conquest swept across Celtic Britain, seemingly bent on genocide. Christian missionaries established outposts in the Celtic lands, competing with the traditional beliefs of the druids. Celtic society had to adapt to meet the new and confusing conditions found in the world. And as new viewpoints seeped into Celtic life, they gradually altered their perception of sexuality. Celtic Sexuality explores the impact of sexuality on war, politics, law and spirituality. Far from limiting itself to events of the distant past, this book provides an exciting and fresh examination of the human condition by emphasizing that the Celts of ancient times were little different from the men and women who walked the earth after them."

SUMMARY: This study of the sexuality of the early Celts is told against the background of European history during the first millennium AD. While the Celts remained relatively isolated in the British Isles, they developed unique sexual customs and practices. Men and women enjoyed marriages with multiple partners and rough sexual equality, and their laws reflected not what people should do, but what they did do. However, the Celtic way of life could not endure in isolation. Saxon invaders hungry for conquest swept across Celtic Britain, seemingly bent on genocide. Christian missionaries established outposts in the Celtic lands, competing with the traditional beliefs of the druids. Celtic society had to adapt to meet the new and confusing conditions found in the world. As new viewpoints seeped into Celtic life, they gradually altered their perception of sexuality. This book explores the impact of sexuality on war, politics, law and spirituality.
