Celtic Traditions
 
There are many Celtic traditions. Here are a few. This is definitely not a complete listing of Celtic pagan traditions. Some of these have old ties to historical practices, but they do not claim to be the original historical tradition of the ancients. Some of these have attempted to return their practices to the most pure version of early practices. That's a daunting task, but there's no reason for it not to be attempted. If you're interested in Celtic traditions of paganism, I strongly suggest you do a good bit of your own research and learning before you join a group that makes a lot of claims that they cannot substantiate. Of course that's true with any tradition of Witchcraft as well.
 

Arthurian
This is one of the more well-known traditions. As the name implies, this tradition is based on Arthurian Legends from Cornwall and Wales

Caledoni
This tradition preserves the Scottish festivals. It originated in Scotland and was formally known as the Hecatine Tradition.

Celtic

Cymri

Eireannach

Family
