Extractions: The fruits of a foray into a centre of learning of an ancient people (University College, Cork) by the most scholarly of wenches, Lady Lionors, alias Tracey Rosenberg The study of Celtic mythology and religion is difficult for modern scholars because of the dearth of comprehensive sources. The scattered material that does exist is often complicated by the influence of other cultures, thus forcing the researcher to analyze "impure" information. However, scholars have been able to piece together coherent theories of Celtic religious and mythological thought through data from the continent as well as from the islands of Britain and Ireland (the "insular" sources). Continental and insular sources, while not interchangeable, are compatible for discussions of a widespread Celtic tradition, thus increasing their scholarly value. Availability of sources varies greatly, as does their usefulness. For example, knowledge of Gaulish mythological tales or religious beliefs are non-existent, as the Gauls wrote down neither their tales nor their rituals. (Typically Celtic, the Gauls were an oral culture, much to the loss of modern research.) In contrast, Irish mythology has been preserved through manuscripts of early Christian monks. However, these are far from complete, thanks to the Viking invasion of Ireland in the ninth century. During the so-called Dark Ages, an age of golden enlightenment in Ireland there were numerous Tech Screpta, or great libraries, in the country. There are frequent references to the enormous amount of Irish manuscript books. At the end of the eighth century, however, the Vikings began their raids on the country, Entire libraries were looted or destroyed.

Back to Text List By: Linda Ann Ingram Write us at: raven@qnet.com Scota Scota was thought to be the earliest ancestor of the Scots. According to one story, she was the daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh. A wise teacher by the name of Niul, had settled in Egypt and become her husband. They had one child named Goidel, who gave his name to the Gaels. In another story, she was the wife of Milesius and was killed fighting the Tuatha De Danann. Table of Contents Sangreal The Sangreal, or Holy Grail, was the holy vessel of Authorian mythology. It was said to be the cup that Christ drank out of at the Last Supper and is believed to have caught the blood which flowed from the spear thrust in His side at the Crucifixion. It was thought to have been brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man who buried Christ. It may have also been brought by his brother-in-law Bron and his son Alan. Originally it was Sir Percival who was the first to see the Grail and in later versions of the story, it was changed to Sir Galahad, as the only knight who was worthy enough to see such a vision.

Extractions: The Grail Quest The early Christian Church had a penchant for taking the established folklore of a society and assimilating it into a new Christian dogma, painting over the old pagan character in broad strokes. If one looks for it, however, the origins of Medieval Christian stories can by located fairly easily. The 13th-century French writer Chretien de Troyes first introduced the Grail Quest in the form in which we know it today: the story of how virtuous Christian knights such as Percival and Galahad set forth to find the Holy Grail, the chalice used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. It was further hallowed by catching a few drops of the Son of Man's blood during his crucifixion, and later brought to England (as luck would have it) by Joseph of Arimathea. In the medieval romance, only Galahad, the purest and best of the knights, possessed the grace to actually achieve the Grail. However, this sublime Christian myth has much older roots amid the ancient Celtic tradition.

Extractions: Affiliates .: Women of Arthurian Mythology The chief female characters in Arthurian legend are Guinevere, Morgan Le Fay, Elaine: Lady of Shallot, The Lady of the Lake, Nimue, and Isolde/Iseult. All of these women are flawed, they are tragic heroines, whether by deed, circumstance or historical rendering. There are many conflicting stories of how she met her end, but this is the most famous. Some scholars suggest that she is a mythological figure, representing the sovreignty of Britain, over which contenders fight. Another popular aspect to her story is that she was succeptible to kidnapping, be it by Meleagance who was insane with love for her, or Lancelot. In the "Mabinogian", Guinevere had a sister named Gwenhwyvach, in French romance she had an identical half sister who took her place for a while, and in the German "Diu Crone", she had a brother Gotegrin.

Extractions: A collection of Welsh prose tales , composed between the second half of the 11th century and the end of the 13th century, but based on older oral tradition . Most of the 11 anonymous tales incorporate Welsh mythology and folklore and deal with the Arthurian legend These stories are preserved in two manuscripts, The first English translation was made from the latter in 1838-39 by Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Guest. The meaning of the name Mabinogion, which she adopted as the title, is the subject of debate. It is derived from the group of four related stories that begins the collection, "The Four Branches of the Mabinogi"; of 11th-century composition, they concern the life of Prince Gwri, or Pryderi. This cycle is followed by four independent tales also based on native Welsh lore. The collection concludes with a group of three Arthurian romances, showing Norman-French influence and bearing some relation to the work of the 12th-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes, although originally of Welsh origin. There are eleven stories.
