The Contemporary Customs of the Medieval Celtic Settlements

By Rebecca R. Sherry


Today, the term "Celtic spirituality" is an umbrella term, an ambiguous magical term embraced by adherents of a variety of spiritual traditions. There are Celtic Reconstructionists, who attempt to reenact as closely as possible the ancient religious practices of the Celts, neodruid orders who embrace the romantic ideal of the druid as learned scholar and wise religious teacher.

There are the Celtic Christians, both Catholic and Protestant, who look to the gentle traditions of Ireland and embrace the natural world and the inner landscape. Finally, there are the myriad numbers of neopagans and Wiccans, who take inspiration from Celtic traditions and symbolism in their rites.

Traditional people of Celtic ancestry (and others) are trying to re-learn the ancient wisdom and spirituality of the Celts. We dedicate our website to providing as much information as possible. We hope all you will discover Celtic spirituality through history, myth, poetry, dance, music, and ecological awareness.

Celtic Christians stressed local spiritual unity rather than universal uniformity. They valued personal sanctity more than doctrinal orthodoxy. They believed in the nearness of the spiritual world. The Celtic Church emphasized anamchara, the "soul friend" - a spiritual mentor and fellow traveller on the true path.

Today, there are groups who label themselves as Celtic Reconstructionists. They reconstruct rituals, festivals and conventions. They also provide study courses. Our approach is less formal. We hope to encourage deep spiritual understanding that is rooted within nature. We hope to inspire respect for the land, and the protection of our Earth.
