The Celtic World
Stretching from the British Isles in the west to modern-day Turkey in the east, for more than 1000 years Celtic people lived, worked, traded, and wared across Europe. The Celtic people had no unified kingdom or culture but was instead made up of small tribes with their own local variations of the wider Celtic Culture. While there is no clearly defined 'Celtic Era' the mysterious and legendary Celtic people of antiquity continue to influence our world to this day.

Handfasting was a practice lasting for one year and one day that allowed a couple to try out the idea of marriage. In the end, the couple could choose to marry or go their separate ways as if they were never married. This practice has evolved and is often performed at marriage ceremonies today.
Marriage
In Celtic society, marriages were contractual agreements meant to protect children, make clear the rights of each spouse and protect the property rights of both parties.
Gender Roles & Marriage Bonds
Celtic culture had much more freedom when it came to gender roles. While men still typically held leadership positions, a woman could be elected chief, become a druid, and even a warrior. Women could also own their own property and divorce their husbands without shame.

The majority of what is known about Celtic law comes from Ireland, where the Brehon Law of pre-Chrisitan Celts survived to be written down. Brehon Law served as the basis of common law in the Chrisitan period.
Hospitality
Anyone who owned property was legally bound to offer hospitality to anyone who needed it. This was subject to a reciprical agreement of mutual respect.

All Celtic people were connected by a common language family, known now as Old Celtic. They are derived from the same Indo-European language group as the Germanic languages.

Pre-Christian Celts were polytheistic, worshipping many Gods and parts of nature. The religious practices and beliefs varied over time and location. Much of what is known of Celtic myths and religious traditions comes down to us from Ireland and Wales

The Celts were fearless warriors because they wish to inculcate this as one of their leading tenets, that souls do not become extinct, but pass after death from one body to another.

Celts in the British Isles
The Celtic culture of the ancient time never disappeared, they simply evolved into the modern culture of Europe. Though the culture has become distorted over time, it is still with us in many ways. Through language, art and a resurgence in the religious traditions of the past. Celtic culture changed the development of society and religion in ways we cannot begin to understand.
