Celtic Ancient Origins by Martin J. Dougherty

Insights from Celtic Ancient Origins

“The warrior was a specialist, trained to kill and prepared to die.”

Celtic warriors went into battle naked to show off their physical strength. They believed their gods protected them more than armor ever could.

“A Druid’s word was law in many matters.”

Druids were far more than just priests. They acted as judges and keepers of history for centuries before anything was written down.

“Celtic women enjoyed a status far higher than their counterparts in Rome.”

Women in these tribes held rights that most of Europe wouldn't see again for ages. They could own land and lead entire armies into war.

“The head was seen as the seat of the soul.”

Headhunting wasn't just about violence for them. They kept the heads of enemies in cedar oil as sacred religious trophies.
