#celt — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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”)

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.

These Iron Age Celtic groups were matrilocal and matrilineal, were they also matriarchal?
