Hello! This is my first time posting here. I am american, but i’d like to get to know my celtic/irish heritage. i believe quite a bit of my mother’s side was irish and my dad’s side had a scottish last name, though i’m not sure how ‘fresh off the boat’ my parents’ relatives were. anyways, i’m really witchy and into ‘hippie’ subcultures, staying FAR away from anything deemed cultural appropriation and do extensive research on my practices. my question is: does anyone have recommendations on pre-catholic celtic/irish paganism or rituals? i want to incorporate as much (pre catholic) irish knowledge and spirituality as i can into my ordinary life, but i don’t want to be performative. i genuinely want to connect with the culture of my ancestors and keep traditions/practices/language alive, since there are so few irish speakers now. thanks!

edit: i am aware that almost nothing was written down before christianity took over in ireland. i just meant that i’m looking for more earth based celtic practices than purely christian ones :) i completely understand theres tons of overlap, though

so i have never in my life watched a porn video. i’m actually quite proud of that fact, because i think that industry is very exploitive to women and children. my parents, when i was younger, took away and monitored my devices because i was watching “inappropriate content”, and i always assumed this was the other “erotic” things i was consuming at the time (censored comics, pg-14 shows with innuendoes, things that were not super explicit). i brought it up last night and said i was proud i had never watched a porn video, and my parents said the real reason they had monitored my devices is because they had found me watching those videos, and told me i was lying. i told them none of that ever happened, i didn’t even know what a penis really looked like on another person until i was 18. they were confused for a second, but were ultimately firm that i was watching hardcore porn and they were justified in all their actions. i have absolutely no recollection of watching these videos, and my parents have a history of being wrong/exaggerating things and trying to control me. did i really watch these videos and they were so traumatic i just blocked them completely out of my mind, or are my parents lying?
