  1. Today's issue of The Gods and their Croziers is out: Conall, the (possibly) Summertime Fionn.

    This one is very delayed, and perhaps not as well written as it could be: my laptop died. However, I've included an array of Kings, Saints, and a Knight, with names and feast days and mythic details that mark them as being related.

  6. roman propaganda

    Context: The Romans heavily adapted Celtic military technology, most notably adopting chainmail and evolving their iconic “Imperial” helmets from the Gallic Montefortino and Weisenau designs to gain superior protection. Beyond the battlefield, Rome relied on Celtic mastery of iron and wood, incorporating innovations like seamless iron tires, heavy wheeled plows, and the wooden barrel into their daily infrastructure.

  7. Hype for the Future 73B: European Subdivisions, Nation by Nation, with the United Kingdom Split (Part 1)

    Introduction The contents of this post intend specifically to represent the subdivisions of each European state, including the split countries of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Historic counties are to be preferred, if and when possible, but especially in the case of the British Isles. Ireland […]

  8. Hype for the Future 47E: Names Commonly Associated with Scotland

    Numerous names are commonly associated with Scotland, sometimes Scots, other times Gaelic, but in any case, related chiefly to Celtic with partial Germanic influences in select areas. Within the Scottish realm, such names may include Aberdeen, Ross, Cromarty, Orkney, Shetland, Falkland, Kirkcaldy, Kirkcudbright, Ayr, Strathclyde, Clyde, Lanark, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Hamilton, Ogletree (related to Ochiltree), Oglesby (from Ogilvie), and Shetland.

  10. I love that there's a database of Irish history/culture texts called “CELT” (“Corpus of Electronic Texts”)

    I came across this because in the Opus codec, one of the layers is an algorithm with the same acronym (for “Constrained Energy Lapped Transform”)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_o

  11. I haven’t been to the #MyHeritage website for ages. I was surprised that they’d changed my #DNA #ancestry & added new info.

    My #Cornish ancestry, which is well documented via #FamilyTree & my family’s history, has vanished & they have added that I have Breton, French, Dutch & Germanic ancestry!

    Hmmm. #Wiki tells me Breton includes #Cornwall & #Devon, so - I’m a #Celt.

    #Scottish & #Welsh
    27.9%

    #English
    25.4%

    #Irish
    21.8%

    #Breton
    6.8%

    #Dutch
    6.4%

    #French
    6.1%

    #Danish
    3.7%

    #Germanic
    1.9%

  12. Good article worth reading, demonstrating modern researcher #bias, however. The article states that DNA and individual gender frequency at the Celtic burial site correlates with female dominance in society, but:

    "This tells us that husbands moved to join their wives' communities upon marriage..."

    Husbands? From a woman researcher! From what data?

    The researchers are focusing through a modern patriarchal lens positing a modern assumption that might have been valid ONLY after the Roman patriarchal invasion this find predates.

    Was there any need at all for marriage for pre-Roman #Celtic societies?

    Marriage and forced female fidelity is how a patriarch guarantees her child is his. A woman always knows the child is hers. There is never a question that the children she lets inherit her property are actually hers.
