Michael Green's Celtic Blessings
"It is an often overlooked fact that Celtic art is iconic for two very different worldviews: primeval Christianity and Pagan/New Age. Celtic art and spirituality stand on an overlap between these two cultures and act as connecting links between them. Both cultures can learn from their differences, ultimately supporting and nourishing the spiritual aspirations of each. Michael Green's Celtic Blessings 2012 Wall Calendar is a masterful marriage of these two worlds. Based on Celtic themes and early Irish Christian illuminated manuscripts, Green reenvisions these genres into a stunning modern look that is firmly rooted in the past." ~~Amazon

What is "Celtic"?
It is important to briefly note that the term "Celtic" refers to a diverse body of languages and a varied group of people. The Celtic language includes Irish, Manx, Scots-Gaelic, Welsh, Breton and Cornish. Further, the term "Celtic" has only be en in use since the 18th century classicists coined it. It was they who "lumped together" the Celts as "noble savages" and circulated the modern stereotypes persistent to this day. Order Mists of Avalon A Book About Celtic Legend
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
"Even readers who don't normally enjoy Arthurian legends will love this version, a retelling from the point of view of the women behind the throne. Morgaine (more commonly known as Morgan Le Fay) and Gwenhwyfar (a Welsh spelling of Guinevere) struggle for power, using Arthur as a way to score points and promote their respective worldviews. The Mists of Avalon's Camelot politics and intrigue take place at a time when Christianity is taking over the island-nation of Britain; Christianity vs. Faery, and God vs. Goddess are dominant themes." ~~Amazon

Young and old alike will enjoy this magical Arthurian reinvention by science fiction and fantasy veteran Marion Zimmer Bradley. --Bonnie Bouman

The Genetic Code For The Celtic Woman by Dale Dassel
Who are the Celtic Women?
"The genetic code for the physical appearance of Celtic women has remained greatly unchanged throughout time, and can be readily identified by a number of similar features of modern women of Celtic descent, proving that the lineage remains unbroken to this day.
The Celtic lineage is one of the oldest in the world, yet few people of this bloodline are to be found in modern times.
In fact, it almost becomes a challenge to locate a person of pure Celtic origin. Through research and observation, Dale Dassel has managed to pinpoint certain physical characteristics that are indicators of a person of Celtic lineage. In his comparative study, he describes and demonstrates the features that are predominant to women of Celtic descent.
The Celtic woman of ancient and modern times share many of the same physical features, the two most distinctive being red hair and extremely pale skin (another sign, though not always present, are freckles). But there are additional signs of Celtic ancestry that have been carried in the blood through the millennia since the Gauls and Celts ruled Europe thousands of years ago. In women of pure, unbroken Celtic lineage, we see strikingly similar, beautiful facial features.
The shape of the nose and the high forehead, in combination with each other, are probably the two most prominent symbols of Celtic lineage outside of having red hair and pale skin.
pale skin possibly with freckles
fiery red hair which pulls away from the head and flows back
the distinctive, delicately pointed, prominent nose
high forehead
firm jaw
thin arching eyebrows"
Read the article with the examples Dassel uses to make his point.

Irish Colleen
or Celtic (sometimes Keltic) woman
A print of a spectacular 1890s photochrom of a beautiful Irish Colleen, or Celtic woman dressed in traditional clothing of the era. As was the tradition in Ireland, she is wearing a traditional Irish woolen cloak, frequently known as a brat, pulled over a patterned scarf that is pinned near her breast. The laced cuffs of her sleeve show an elegant dark lace. A white apron completes her costume. She clutches a rosary in her hands. This piece of work preserves the life and dress of the Irish people in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.http://stores.ebay.com/The2FunAdGuyz

What We Know About the Celts
And some things we don't know
No literature survives from ancient Gaul and records of the people are fragmentary. Carolyn Larrington in her book, The Feminist Companion to Mythology says,
"We do not know the Celts but only the Gauls, Irish, Welsh, and Bretons...archeological evidence (of the Celts) is related to the continental Celts, vernacular literature to the insular Celts, thus the two cannot validate each other without the risk of circularity, but they can tell us about their myth and beliefs" (121).

Celtic Woman
Mary Black has the gift of being able to sing traditional and contemporary music with equal grace. No Frontiers is a beautiful example of her modern mode. Even when she is singing something as pop-oriented as Burt Bacharach's "Say a Little Prayer," Black's pure voice retains echoes of her roots. (Her father was a fiddler and her mother sang in dance halls in Dublin.) The arrangements are contemporary, but many of the songs have a distinctly old, folk tinge. Her grounding in traditional music gives her performances of new material a timeless feel. --Michael Simmons
