Need recommendations

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

Celtic Warrior 3rd century BC

Resin miniature based on the classic sculpt by Raúl García Latorre.

Painted him as a noble Celtic warrior from the La Tène period shirtless, red-haired, with an old scar across the eye and a worn bronze shield.

Tried to keep a raw Iron Age look rather than a fantasy style.

Hand painted in 54mm scale. Comments and historical feedback are welcome.

Anyone here dabbling with learning Ogham

Started last night and so far it is insanely simple and I’d say if any of you want to learn a cool code language but have been deterred, and have a natural affinity to symbolism, go for it. I’m pretty sure everything fits on a singular page lol. Atleast what I’ve found so far. I’m sure it deepens which is why I’m here. Lookin for material or YouTubes on this! Started notes on this page last night plus a little more of the vocabulary in regards to the words used to name parts of the language. It’s so fun and I’m just here lookin to make connections with anyone learning and build the material !

Should I post here Celtic - Cyberpunk style alike to build a Cyberpunk-Celtic sci-fi world and book I am working on?

Hi, I have always loved Celtic and Norse mythology, I actually lived in Ireland for 4 years to undestand the land, people, culture. etc.
I created a long time ago a fantasy world heavily inspired by Celt mythology. 10 years later I am working on a version of that world set 3000 years later, using the old Celt visuals and its mythology, blended in a cyberpunk corporate environment. Just to give you and example

Scatha (Scáthach) trained the mighty Cú Chulainn. In the book I made her the mortal daughter of Morrigan (call it "poetic license")

Maybe this content is not appropiated here. Please let me know it.
Regardless, I will keep an eye on this forum, for inspiration.

Hi! Does anyone know where I can find the sources for both claims? I would like to learn more about Gallaecian onomastics.

Hi,

From the 11th of May until the 19th of June, I’m going to have an art exhibition based on the folklore of the Isle of Man.

It will be at Erin Arts Centre, and entry is free. The exhibition will include art prints, large original pieces, a section with some discarded works, experimental pieces, and sketches too.
