Answer 1

Which Celtic Goddesses are you interested in? There are many.
Brighid: http://www.celticheritage.co.uk/virtualshrine/brighid.cfm

There is a complete thesis on the Morrigan on this site: http://snlemons.iweb.bsu.edu/otherCelt.htm
Epona: http://epona.net/
This is an excellent site that has translations of Celtic myths and poetry. You can Google the site for whichever deity you want to know about. http://www.maryjones.us/
Very short descriptions of Celtic deities and heros: http://www.loggia.com/myth/content2.html
This is a pix of a plaque at Coventina's Well, if you Google "Coventina" you can learn the history of how she may have been worshipped and where: http://www.antipope.org/feorag/wells/hope/graphics/coventina-01.jpg

My favorite book on the subject is "The Gods of the Celts" by Miranda Green. The Celts as a whole did not have a singular earth mother. They had land and water deities of specific areas. We can only guess about personalities and appearances through mythology and the Mary Jones site that I gave will help alot in that area. Plus, on her site she has translations rather than re-tellings. For good books on mythology, I would suggest "The Mabinogi and Other Medieval Welsh Tales" Trans. by Patrick Ford, and "Ancient Irish Tales" trans. by Cross and Slover. To learn about the Celts who worshiped these deities, I'd suggest "The World of the Druids" by Miranda Green, or "The Ancient Celts" by Barry Cunliffe. Most of these books can be found in any public library in the European History section.

Answer 2

The "New Age" section at Barnes & Noble has several good books about celtic mythology. I can't think of the author, but the publisher is Llewwllyn.

Be prepared to get Fundie bombed on this. OK? Brave question, though.

Obviously bookstores and the like but if you wish more information, I may be able to tell you about some of my experience.

I suggest we take this offline. Contact me and mention the question. Bright Blessings
