Celtic Claddagh Rings for You and Your Beloved
The Claddagh Ring belongs to a widespread group of finger rings called Fede or "Faith rings" which date from Roman times. They are distinguished by having the bezel cut or cast in the form of two clasped hands, symbolising faith, trust or "plighted troth". The manner in which they are worn reveals the heart of the person wearing one. Fede rings were popular in the Middle Ages throughout Europe, and there are examples from this time in the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin. The "Claddagh" ring is a particularly distinctive ring; two hands clasp a heart surmounted by a crown.

History and Lore of the Celtic People
Celtic Origins and Mythology
(Celtic Tiles brought to you by Celtic Elegance)Celtic Origins and Mythology
By Anastasia Phocas
The various fascinating evidences of the presence of the Celts - people of very ancient origin - are found even today in many European areas. The people of Celt spread their civilization to Brittany, Portugal, Ireland and the Danubian area. Specific atmosphere reflecting the culture of the Celts and clear evidences are easily found in all these countries. Some traces of the existing Celtic inheritance are found in places in south-west coastal Ireland.
People in several countries in Europe speak languages having their origin from Celtic Language. These are known as Indo-European languages. Art work with cultural traits connected with Celtic art has also been excavated from many archeological sites.
Presently, "Celtic" is regularly used to express the cultures and languages of Cornwall, Isle of Man, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and also Brittany in France. Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Cornish and Irish are some of the languages still spoken, which have their origin from Celtic language. Find more info at http://www.celticresource.info
The study of history of Celts including disciplines such as paleolinguistics, ancient history, and history of Celtic art, anthropology, religious history, mythology, ethnology and folklore have been taking place in the last two decades.
Literary reference about the Celtic people was made by Hecataeus, a Greek historian in the 517 BC. The tribe of Keltoi - that's how the ancient Greeks refer the Celts - is located in Rhenania (present day West and Southwest Germany). The primogenitor of Celts is Celtus who is the son of Heracles and Keltine according to Greek mythology. Ancient Romans used the word "Celtae" to refer to Gauls from the continent.
(Celtic Tiles brought to you by Celtic Elegance)Celtic myths were written only in the 11th Century AD; these myths are quite ancient and are kept alive by oral tradition.
Ireland and Wales are the main sources for the Celtic myths. The legends of King Arthur were originated from Wales and to some extent from Ireland. Brittany is the origin for medieval Romans of Isolde and Tristan which is very popular in British Isles and Continental Europe.
As per the Celtic myths the Celts divided their people by social classes and by clans. The nobles such as chiefs and kings are high among the social classes. They are a part of the warrior societies. The aristocrats dominated the warriors. Bards and druids are some of the other classes who were highly regarded for their knowledge.
Ancient Celtic people were enclosed by natural world on all sides. Celts were aware of the presence of nature and the total dependence on the fertility and balance for their basic comfort and basic nurture.
Cuchulainn, one of the ancient Gaelic heroes was endowed with superhuman qualities. The Hound of Culainn is the meaning of his name. Earlier he was known as Setanta. He was the son of Dechtire and Lugh Lamhfhada. He left his home when he was five years old to join the Red Branch Knights which is the Ulster army of the king Mac Nessa. He took his spear, his javelin and his silver ball with him when he joined the king. Upon reaching the palace at Emain Macha, with his javelin and silver ball he beat 150 boys in the games. When he was only seven years old, he killed Culainn's watch dog at Ulster and got his name Cuchulainn. By this act, he was entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the Ulster kingdom and its people.

Don't know your triskelion from a triquetra? Take heart! Celtic symbology is interpreted for you in the contents of the list below. Yes, you'll find different expressions of the same symbol, depending on where you turn, but that's understandable, as some of the roots trace back further than history can hold. Some are obvious, and some are just plain head-scratching (how on earth is triskelion interpreted as man's progress and then, a few pages away, as feminine!?), but the idea is to sample the flavors and variety. (My personal favorite is the triquetra, which I use in many of my own artwork creations.)

Mistletoe - A Very Celtic Tradition
Christmas Mistletoe The Magic is Still On! (Part 1)
Christmas Mistletoe - The Magic Is Still On!By Sean Carter
Green shrub with small, yellow flowers and white, sticky berries, remind us of Christmas. This is interesting to note how mistletoe got associated with Christmas. One can trace back its origin in the pagan history. Mistletoe was used for ceremonial purposes by the Celtic Druids. They welcomed the winter season and the celebration was considered to be incomplete without paying a tribute to the healing power of the magical plant. It was the story of Goddess Frigga that led to the concept that the plant has magical powers. The belief goes that no one can be harmed under the mistletoe. Christians took the essence of the restoration of the life and fertility from the popular story.
The folklore customs are very much in favor of mistletoe and so we have almost forgotten that it is a parasite that sucks up the nutrients from the branches of the plants. The mystery perhaps lies in the concept that being parasite mistletoe cooks up its own food through the process of photosynthesis. But early churches banned the use of mistletoe for Christmas because of its pagan origin. The church fathers advised to use holly as a substitute for it during Christmas celebrations.
Now phoradendron flavescens species are used for Christmas celebrations and they can be found in rows from New Jersey to Florida in North America. Mistletoe was a part of Celtic tradition and at that time the hemi parasites on the oak trees were worshiped as they were rare and not the parasites on the apple trees. The Celtic European tradition was transferred to Americans as a Christian custom with the immigration and settlement.
(continued below...)
Let's get into the interesting story on how the name "mistletoe" came into existence. The name is a combination of the Anglo-Saxon words "mistel", meaning "dung" and "tan", meaning "twig". Hence, mistletoe is "dung-on-a-twig". Mistletoe gives the notion- life can spring from dung. The parasites grow on the dungs of the birds on the branches. Thus mistletoes came to be known as the symbol of life and fertility in the Christian domain of beliefs. They are also taken as the sexual symbol and the soul of the oak trees.Each country nurtures a different notion about mistletoe and its role in Christmas celebrations. In Middle Age, they were hung from ceilings to drive out the evil spirits. Hence they were associated with the revival and restoration of "goodness". Kissing under the mistletoe was a Greek custom. It was a part of the Saturnalia celebration of primitive marriage rites. Scandinavians take them as the icon of peace. So, in every case we are getting Christian connotations either directly or indirectly. This is how mistletoe became a part and parcel of Christmas celebrations.
How can we love a hemi parasite? A hemi parasite can be defined as a parasitic plant which is capable of photosynthesis. The popular example of this can be the mistletoe. But now people are busy in the cultivation of special species of the magical plant to meet the demands of the customers during Christmas phase. One can go for fresh bunches for this Christmas.

The Tooth Fairy - Straight from the Celts
The Legend and Charm of The Tooth FairyBy Nancy Wurtzel
The legend and myth of the Tooth Fairy is a delightful part of
our modern family culture. Kids dream about receiving a
special gift or money from this charming, magical fairy.
Adults fondly remember the Tooth Fairy as a wonderful
childhood fantasy of their youth, and they pass on the
mystery and charm to their own young children.
In most households, the Tooth Fairy operates under cover of
darkness, coming to visit after a child loses what are
commonly called baby teeth. Parents help perpetuate the
fantasy by showing their children how to place the lost tooth
under their sleeping pillow or in a special holder or pillow
made just for the Tooth Fairy. Then, the Tooth Fairy herself
visits during the middle of the night, exchanging the tooth for
a gift or monetary reward.
The Tooth Fairy is a lovely fantasy, but how exactly did she
originate?
FAIRIES, FAIRIES EVERYWHERE
The beginnings of the Tooth Fairy probably began many
centuries ago in a culture that encouraged folklore, legend,
literature and the arts. Historians believe that this would
have been a culture where the concept and myth of fairies
was widely accepted -- possibly in Ireland or England.
We do know that the word fairy is derived from the French
spelling of faery. In a general sense, the mythical fairy dates
back to medieval days and was quite widespread,
especially among the Celtic peoples. References about
magical fairies -- both good and evil -- can be found in
numerous paintings and literature that predates Christianity.
Centuries later, the concept of the fairy became popular
during Shakespeare's day, as he and other writers of that
time period gave them prominent roles in their plays,
poems and other writings.
A MAGICAL MYTH BEGINS TO EVOLVE
So how did the Tooth Fairy as we know it today begin to take
root? There are several theories.
Among the Nordic people, it is widely believed that the
Vikings had a "tooth fee," that was paid to children when
they lost a tooth. Once paid for, these teeth were probably
strung together to make a necklace or some other type of
adornment that the Viking warriors wore into battle.
In Medieval Europe, it was common to bury a child's tooth inthe ground, usually in a garden or a field close to home.
Supposedly, the tooth was buried so that a new one would
be free to grow in its place, and it discouraged the evil
witches from finding the tooth and putting a curse on the
child.
When Europeans and others began migrating to the New
World in great numbers during the 17th century, they
brought their superstitious beliefs with them. But as towns
and cities took shape, people found that they sometimes
didn't have a place to bury the teeth. Instead, the lost tooth
was often placed in a small planter, perhaps on a window
sill or just outside a door.
No one really knows what prompted parents to begin putting
the tooth under a child's pillow or when the practice of
leaving a gift became widespread. However, it probably
began to be part of our American folklore sometime during
the late 19th century.
YOU'VE GOT QUESTIONS, THE TOOTH FAIRY HAS ANSWERS
While everyone seems to know about the Tooth Fairy, not
everyone celebrates in exactly the same manner. And,
parents often have questions. Following are some
common questions concerning this fantasy fairy who visits
in the night and leaves presents and money.
Why did a fairy become associated with losing a baby tooth?
Many old cultures marked the loss of a child's baby or milk
teeth. Some ancient cultures placed the lost tooth in a tree
or threw it to the sun. Other rituals involved having an adult
swallow the tooth or burn it.
Why is the Tooth Fairy so popular?
The Tooth Fairy is a whimsical concept that helps both
parent and child mark the transition from infancy to
childhood. It's a rite of passage that is not attached to any
religion or holiday, which accounts for its widespread
celebration.
When does the Tooth Fairy come to visit?
Although it varies, children generally lose their first baby
tooth between the ages of 5 and 7 years.
Why is the Tooth Fairy traditionally female?
As a popular culture figure of relatively modern times, the
Tooth Fairy is usually depicted as a woman. However,
some companies are now offering Tooth Fairy "Prince" style
gifts for the boys to enjoy.
What does the Tooth Fairy exchange for the child's tooth?A generation ago, the Tooth Fairy brought only a modest gift,
perhaps a dime or a quarter. In very recent years, that
amount has increased dramatically and children now
receive Tooth Fairy gifts ranging from a dollar to five dollars
to much more. Sometimes the monetary amount is
considerably higher for the first tooth lost. Instead of cash,
some parents opt for a gift. But money remains the most
popular choice.
Is the Tooth Fairy celebrated around the world?
Throughout English-speaking and many European
countries, the Tooth Fairy tradition is widely known and
practiced. Although in many cultures, the first lost tooth is
the only one recognized by the Tooth Fairy.
THE END OF A MAGICAL CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE
Alas, a child's belief in the Tooth Fairy is all too fleeting. By
the age of nine or ten, most children have stopped believing
in the Tooth Fairy. Many kids, however, continue to play
along with their parents because they enjoy the tradition and
they like collecting the money! The last baby teeth are
usually gone by age 12, and the Tooth Fairy ceases her
visits.
What happens to all the teeth collected over the years by the
Tooth Fairy?
Some parents tell their children that the teeth become the
countless shimmering stars in the sky. Others say that the
Tooth Fairy is building a fabulous castle for herself using all
of the "donated" teeth. Today, there are numerous books
available about the Tooth Fairy that offer their own version of
what happens to the countless lost teeth.
In the end, the magic of the Tooth Fairy is perpetuated by
parents who make up their own stories and create their own
rituals. This only adds to the magical charm that we call the
Tooth Fairy.

If there's one way I can tell I've got to have strong Celtic roots, it is that I absolutely LOVE a great corned beef and cabbage on any day of the year. I don't feel duty-bound to wait for St Patrick's Day to whip up a batch, nor do I feel any obligation to share it with those who do not appreciate its fine flavors and textures. Well, all right, I'll share, but only the recipes and cookbooks themselves. You have to do the heavy lifting yourself if you want to enjoy the experience completely.

White Horse Weather Vanes - Celtic Tradition in America
White Horse Weather Vanes
By Ross Bainbridge
Weather vanes, which are devices for measuring wind direction, are one of the oldest geographic tools used by man. They have an ornamental value in many American homes, giving a classy and artistic look to the house. They are used on all kinds of buildings: residences, farmhouses, barns, garages, offices, and churches. They are available in several designs shaped like simple arrows, animals, birds, humans, crests, exotic figurines, or combinations of some of these.
Weather vanes are also available in several models like: deck or fence weather vanes, lawn weather vanes, table top weather vanes, roof top weather vanes, and more and are provided with the accessories like cupolas, mounting shafts, and roof mount bases. Modern wind vanes are also mounted with an anemometer for measuring the wind speed and may be connected to a remote reading station. Modern weather vanes are rust free and maintenance free.
Though weather vanes are generally shaped like arrows, designs have become quite ornate over time. The white horse weather vane is one of the most popular designs. The white horse carries a certain symbolism, which makes it a favorite among many. White horses are associated with fertility, empathy, travel, power, freedom, peace, sincerity, wealth and loyalty. They are referred in the bible and their tradition dates back to the Celtic mythology. In the bible, they are used to represent virtues like righteousness, holiness and purity and also stand for salvation. White horse weather vanes hold very strong symbolic messages. They are also particularly relevant for Irish people since their folklore and fairy tales consider white horses to be very majestic. Arabian horses represent peace, friendship, sincerity and honor.
White horse weather vanes are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and finishes. Whitehorse weather vanes are also designed with one horse, a group of horses or horse with a carriage, etc. These vanes are ideal for horse lovers. They can be made of copper, wrought iron, bronze, aluminum, and stainless steel. White horse weather vanes still hold a lot of appeal for townspeople and country folk alike.Weathervanes provides detailed information on weather vanes, including copper, wrought iron, and antique weather vanes, as well as rooster, white horse, blue heron, and custom weather vanes. Weathervanes is affiliated with Business Plans by Growthink.

Some traditional, some modern interpretations with homage to the traditional. Almost everyone is familiar with the traditional Claddagh ring and the interlocking wedding bands of Celtic descent, but there is so much more to be had. One of my favorites used to be an intricately knotted three-inch silver wire cross that I saw at a garage sale in West Los Angeles years ago, and got for $1.25 (a steal!) I have watched for another one like it for years, and I keep hoping to find one, or find the craftsman who made it. The one I had went missing after our apartment storage unit was robbed in the mid 1970s. (They got my collection of LPs and 45s as well, dangit.)
