The Celts are still a race and ethnic group present still in their native Ireland and the Scottish Highlands, and to an extent in Wales and Brittany, and all Whites who are spread around the globe, have Celtic and/or Viking ancestry.
The Celts were well educated in metalworking, husbandry and other life pursuits, even on topics such as religion, philosophy, geography and astronomy. The invading Romans often employed Celtic tutors for their sons according to one Roman historian. This would have bristled the Roman pride and as the Roman Empire grew in power and prestige.
The bravery of the Celts in battle is legendary. They often spurned body armour, going naked into battle. In Celtic and Viking society, women have always been on more or less equal footing as men, being accomplished warriors, merchants and rulers.
The Celts dominated much of western Europe, though their constant intertribal feuding prevented them from forming any kind of organised empire. They didn’t build grand cities that would accommodate large populations and generate vast amounts of trade. Rather, they preferred a rural lifestyle and trade was sufficient enough to keep them supplied with exotic goods from the south. In plain terms, the Celts were not inclined to be grand city builders - not because they did not have the technology - because they didn’t seem to want it. They lived a very free and ranging lifestyle and the wide-open spaces of Europe were keener to their preferences than a large metropolis.
Animal myths featured strongly in Celtic legend and clearly some association with the powers of animals is intended here. Warriors were believed to transform from their human form into that of a monster that possessed animalistic powers as a result of a battle rage. This belief was also found in cultures such as that of the Vikings, with their infamous ‘Berserkers’, from which we get the modern word - berserk.
