Few surviving Celtic myths bear any resemblance to their originals. In the course of time they have been infused with romance, pseudohistory and Christian theory. Stories of Ireland and Wales have been combined with tales of love, war and slaughterdeeds both noble and ignoble. In this classic study, MacCulloch proves that Celtic legend borrowed from preCeltic mythology, just as Christianity in Britain subsumed much of the Celtic past.

Synopsis:
Few surviving Celtic myths bear any resemblance to their originals. In the course of time they have been infused with romance, pseudo-history and Christian theory. Stories of Ireland and Wales have been combined with tales of love, war and slaughter. In this classic study, the author proves that Celtic legend borrowed from pre-Celtic mythology, just as Christianity in Britain subsumed much of the Celtic past. Celtic myths were contained in sacred verses handed down by the Druids. It was expressly forbidden to write them down; and this taboo also extended to the Celt's sacred places. Written by MacCulloch in 1916, it is an enthralling study, which will fascinate readers of mythology, history and the phenomena of New Age.
About the Author:
J.A. MacCulloch was a scholar and author of several books, including "The Misty Isle of Skye, The Childhood of Fiction "and" The Religion of the Ancient Celts."
