Hello friends! Chris here, and I've got some questions about a seemingly obscure path.
Celtic Heathenry, sometimes called Gaelic Heathenry, is a syncretic religion that draws upon Norse Paganism and Celtic Paganism. It's no secret that the Celtic and the Nordic peoples traded and mingled in history, so the basis of the religion is that their belief systems naturally became mixed as well. It's important to note that this is a syncretic path, not an eclectic one, and may possible have an actual historical bases, even if it's one where there's not much information.
Unfortunately, I've found very little on Celtic Heathenry as far as reading goes. Does anyone know where I may go to find some reading on the concept of Celtic Heathenry? Or does anyone follow this path who can point me in the right direction?
And just for fun- in your opinion, do you think there is a historical basis for Celtic Heathenry? I think it's extremely likely that Norse and Celtic practices were blended by some who inter-married between cultures, though it would be extremely difficult to reconstruct it going on historical documentation, seeing as there's probably very little. Your thoughts though?
Thank you all! Please remember to be respectful, but you're all good people who I'm sure would be anyway
