Celtic Mythology
Gods, spirits, and heroic legends from the mythic Celtic world.
Celtic mythology emerges from a landscape of misty hills, ancient forests, and sacred rivers where the boundary between worlds was often thin.
The myths of the Celtic peoples are filled with powerful deities, warrior heroes, shapeshifting beings, and spirits from the Otherworld. Many of these stories were preserved through oral tradition long before they were written down in medieval manuscripts.
Rather than a single unified system, Celtic mythology is a tapestry of traditions from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of continental Europe. Across these regions we find recurring themes of magic, transformation, sovereignty, and encounters with the supernatural.
Within this section you will discover the divine figures of Celtic lore and the strange creatures said to inhabit its mythic landscapes.
