Reliable sources on celtic history and myth.

by Whibbz

I'm interested in my heritage, I'm proud to be scottish, irish and welsh all simultaneously. For years I've wanted to learn more about it, only to find it has little to no accurate coverage in mainstream media, nor have I found a widespread selection of books detailing what I'm looking for. I know that very little is actually known due to English washing and heavy christianisation in Ireland, Scotland and to the lesser extent, Wales. But I feel as though there is still a lot out there, and maybe me learning as much as I can can further help me discover more in the future (due to my ideal job being anthropology - archeology).

I can only speak for Ireland, but there is a great book by Professor James Mallory called "In search of the Irish dreamtime" that deals with the medieval Irish myths and pseudohistories, and compares them to archaeological evidence from the Prechristian period. If you're interested in how the Irish myths articulate with the archaeological findings, this is the book for you
