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. What We Know About the Celts
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).

The Genetic Code
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

Irish Colleen
or Celtic (sometimes Keltic) woman
A print of a spectacular 1890s photochrom (sometimes spelled photochrome) of a beautiful Irish Colleen, or Celtic (sometimes Keltic) woman dressed in the 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 is a magnificent piece of work and preserves the life and dress of the Irish people in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Anyone of Irish or Celtic (Keltic) descent or a lover of things Irish will find this a beautiful addition to their collection.http://stores.ebay.com/The2FunAdGuyz

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
