Question

I hope my religion is not dead!I understand a lot of wicca and witchcraft is based on my path, but is anyone out there believe souly in the old pagan ways or do i live in a neo-world?

Answer 1

There are plenty of Celts still around, as well as those who follow, or attempt to reconstruct, their ancient religion.

Check out the Celtic Religions board at Beliefnet.com:

The connections between Celtic religions and Wicca is tenuous at best; I don't think you'll find a lot of genuine inspiration there. Here are two good essays about Celts, Wicca, and the genuine old religions:

Hope this helps. :-) Blessed be, and good luck on your path. You are certainly not alone!

EDITED TO ADD: More links on Celtic Reconstructionism; you probably already have them, but I thought it couldn't hurt to put them in.

Answer 2

properly, there is sorts of non-Trad Wicca that concentration exceptionally on Celtic deities, there is the neo-Druids, and that i assume you ought to even contain Celtic Traditionalists, nonetheless that has a tendency to straddle the line between Pagan and Christian. while not having a more advantageous perfect theory why Celtic Paganism and Celtic Reconstructionism would not in good structure, or more advantageous of an theory of what you've self assurance in, it really is difficult to point you in a more advantageous perfect course.

Answer 3

Ah do I touch another of those christians who seeks to define Pagans with a question of rather the longest thriving religions in the world? The cave of Lascaux has Pagan religious images that are over 30,000 years old.
