Celtic history, although ancient, continues to reason in the West. Celtic culture encompasses 7 countries and regions: Asturias, Brittany, Scotland, Galicia, Isle of Man, Ireland, and Wales.Probably arrived from the Indian steppes, these migratory people marked their time by their warrior temperament but also their commercial strength.Passing through the site of Briteiros, you can dive into the past by imagining yourself trading alongside these mystical people. The city is exceptionally well preserved. There are the remains of cobbled streets, drainage systems, public baths, and even a sauna.Beyond their commercial fiber, the Celts are known for their mythology and legends. These are multiple, and each city has its deities, but there are some common similarities. For example, the fossil sea urchin, which would be at the origin of the world's creation, forming the earth and the heavens by breaking, or the stone of Phale. This would have been brought by the children of the ancestral goddess Dana who would be able to recognize a man who tends to become king by screaming. In this regard, many religious Celtic sites can be visited, including the most famous of them: the megalithic Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. There are stones, the mystery of which has not yet been pierced. Arranged in a circle, they would have been considered magical by the Celts, protecting them from evil spells.The forest of Brocéliande in France is also mysterious by the legends it would have inhabited in its heart. It is impossible to follow in the footsteps of these people without walking there, on the lookout for small magical creatures still well hidden.The political organization of the Celts is also enjoyable. The latter wanted to extend power within the scale of the city. That's why the people were nomadic and moved around Europe without difficulty: France, Scotland, Ireland... To see with your own eyes one of the most visited Celtic sites in Ireland, County Cork is your next destination, where you will have the opportunity to visit Blarney Castle. This magnificent building houses Blarney Stone, which has a reputation for attributing the gift of eloquence to the one who embraces it.The Celts wore very particular outfits; as a moving population, they had to be recognized quickly. At the Museum of Brittany, you will have to contemplate the collection of characteristic objects. Among them are the brain (a kind of trousers embellished with a tunic) and the saillon (a long wool coat). Dishes, weapons, and musical instruments are also collected. ◄
