>>14938585The Celtic beliefs and lifestyle genuinely made brave and honest people. Heroic reincarnation was an excellent way of uniting people too since if your great grandfather was part of an enemy tribe then that means you were too. The problem is that it did encourage a culture of stupidity. Life was thrown away easily because it was transitory. I'd still wager the modern city dweller is dumber than the tribesmen of long ago though.

I don't know enough about Celtic decorations, but if you see one with spiked hair it's because they washed it with lime water to bleach and stiffen it over time, giving it a quality the Romans thought monsterous.
>>14938591>there was an old source i read where early gaels refer to the people who lived in ireland before them who spoke what they called "iron speech" which the gaels found completely unpronounceableI've always assumed that The Book of Invasions is actually a mythologized account of how the people we now call Irish threw out the previous inhabitants. There's just something about how the previous people were clearly meant to be racially different and technologically superior to the humans that strikes me as weird.
