  • Essay / Celtic Religion, Mythology and Culture - 1664

    CelticTen children were playing on a beach on a cold and foggy night. When a lost pony appears, the children are enchanted by the pony's beautiful black skin, skin so smooth it could be that of a seal. They begin to walk towards the pony as its mane flows, drop by drop, drop by drop because the water cascades down the pony's mane. Nine children ride on the pony's back and touch the skin so cold it could be death. The tenth child, unsure of the pony, keeps his distance until the pony chases him. As the child ran, his fingers caught in the pony's nostrils while his hand brushed the pony's nose. The other nine children are now sitting screaming on the pony's back and now realize that they are sitting on the back of a kelpie. The kelpie starts running toward the water with all 9 screaming children on its back and the tenth child dragged along the ground so close to its hooves. The tenth child, now desperate to be free, takes out his knife and cuts his fingers right at the water's edge and is freed while his friends are dragged underwater as the kelp's skin becomes adhesive. The tenth child will cauterize his wound with wood from a nearby fire because he knows that at that time the kelpie will devour his friends, leaving aside the heart and liver. The Celts number 18,584,000 people living in the nations that would once have had the Celtic religion and 2,882,100 people speaking the Celtic language in those nations now, because the Celts have an interesting religion in many ways and in many ways, as for example, their history, mythology, and culture are topics that can frighten or delight any group of people who take a chance and learn more about them.
