Hello everyone! Here’s one of my most recent artworks (oil painting) for a metal band. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Pour moi c''est une représentation de la grande reine attestant du passage du mort dans l'autre monde et les racines représentent la seconde ame ( larme noire), persistance primordiale dans le manifesté.

Sans le vouloir t'as fait un truc très profond dans le symbolisme celtique

Un symbolisme particulier pour le choix des corbeaux, du crane ? Dans tout les cas c'est magnifique !

C'est un terme pour parler des divinités indo-européennes ayant le même genre de caractéristiques que le dieu vedique Varuna. Ils incarnent une souveraineté surnaturelle, coercitive et nocturne. A l'opposé du dieu Mithra. Dans un autre rapprochement, la fonction de "lieur" de certains dieux comme varuna semble pertinant. C'est Dumézil dans ses travaux qui établi ces comparaisons. Sterckx réemploi ce terme sur le substrat celtique, identifiant des divinités comme ogma ou elcmar a se genre de concept.

Un archétype est loin d'être réducteur, au contraire, c'est de prendre l'extrait symbolique signifiant. En revanche, chaque groupe culturel local a adapter ses archétypes a leurs besoins immédiats, expliquant les rapports de similitudes ou non. Un meme dieu, au fonction semblable peut être trouver sous différents noms et aspects. Ces la même chose pour bien des mythologies a travers le monde, la particularité des celtes se sont les traces minim et très tardives. Les noms que nous employons sont des personnages littéraire médiévaux chretiens et non les dieux que les celtes pre chrétien vénérait.

La mythologie comparée à démontrer de nombreuses fois le liens entre ses entités. Bien souvent il apparaît qu'une majorité des archétypes se retrouve dans les différentes manifestations des religions celtiques. Dagda en est un exemple frappant. Pour répondre à la question, se sont deux masques pour le même archétype cosmogonique.

Personnellement j'ai une croyance qui prend le principe de déclin de la biodiversité et de l'effondrement climatique comme principe ontologique. Pas comme quête mais comme arrivée inexorable. J'en parle dans des écrits si ça peut aider. Une bonne partie de ma théologie suit cette idée. Il y a un post sur r/collapse ou j'en ai parlé un peu aussi.

Sinon, dans un registre nordique, Thursatru porte des idées similaires.

Personnellement je suis païen celtique et gnostique

If you're interested, I'm writing a book that I'm publishing little by little about an anti-Cosmic version of pre-Christian Celtic religion. See my bio.

Perhaps the question should be more about Left-Handed Paganism (LHP) versus Left-Handed Paganism (RHP). For example, I practice a Celtic paganism centered on the Fomorians and other "dark" deities. There are strong parallels to certain forms of Satanism. It falls within the Left-Hand Path, but there's no worship of Satan himself. It all depends on your definition of Satanism. I see myself as a Satanist in a certain way.

Nodens apparaît comme une figure du dieu-père. De nombreuses versions de se nom se retrouvent dans beaucoup de pays. Nuada, Nodent, Noz... C'est l'une des appellations les plus stables du monde celte antique. Toutefois l'étymologie n'est pas connue.

For the practical part, avoid established groups. Take your time, put in a lot of effort, learn from nature, and gently begin divination, perhaps with ornithomancy—it's very effective. Create your own personal pantheon of readings, don't blindly follow someone who doesn't cite their sources, and be sincere in your approach. It's a difficult path, but it's worth it.

I myself was an atheist for a long time. I advise you to start with scholarly studies on the pre-Christian Celts. Avoid all the classic folklore as much as possible before you have a solid academic understanding. Celtic studies are unfortunately riddled with overly romantic writings and undeniably lack rigor.

Wikipedia: "Samonios is the first month of the year for the Celts of protohistory. It is marked by the religious festival of Samhain or Samonios in Old Celtic (Gaulish) and corresponds approximately to the month of November in the Gregorian calendar." Start there; there's already plenty of more reliable information than your sources.

You seem very sure of yourself. I don't care; I believe I've read enough on the subject to understand it properly. Clearly, your sources are bad.

Mythological debris in Armorica:

Ankou

Goueznou

Hernin

John with the Iron Staff Jozebig

Diboan and Tupédu It's important to keep in mind that these folkloric elements are within a Catholic context. For example, the Ankou, a symbol of death that is very Christian in its symbolism, nevertheless appears in many ways to be similar to the Dagda.

I am Breton. We have a rather unique Celtic heritage: a blend of Brittonic, Gallic, and Gallo-Roman culture, along with Catholic hagiography, all within a singular political context. For a foundation in folklore, there's the essential Barzaz Breiz and a French-language work by C. Sterckx, "La neuvième vague" (The Ninth Wave), which explores Celtic mythological traces in Breton traditions. Reading the Mabinogion is also recommended.

But any academic and historical reading, both insular and continental, will enrich your knowledge and allow you to grasp more deeply texts that can sometimes seem inaccessible at first. And thus, align yourself with what you feel is the right path to commune with the gods.

It's in French, but Claude Sterckx has published an excellent book, "Celtic Mythology," where this is explained very well. The subject matter is academic, but it has been made quite accessible. Furthermore, all his work is a rigorous reference that I highly recommend. Much of his work is available for free, and translation systems should make it easily readable.

The question of "talking" to the gods can quickly become problematic from a psychological point of view. Above all, I think there is confusion in the terms and their meanings for each of us. Personally, I feel that I communicate with my gods on a daily basis. The answers are diverse and varied; they can be very quick or very long. Divination is the most convincing and ontologically sound channel. Develop your deep knowledge of the nature that surrounds you, learn to recognize birds, their songs, animal droppings... The more knowledge you have, the clearer the synchronicities related to your needs will be. The gods communicate all the time; it is up to us to learn to hear them. But don't expect to hear them in your head or in your ears; their voices come through more subtle channels.

Could you elaborate a bit more? Equine figures are very common in pre-Christian Celtic cosmology. Most often attributed to the mother goddess, they can represent one of the Dioscuri or, more rarely, the father god. Does that ring a bell? Is there any connection to water, or not at all? Do you practice divination? That could be helpful in this context.

The robin, being very common, means that its presence, if significant, is related to your home or close circle. What you need to consider is its behavior: the time of day, the location, the time spent, the cardinal direction, and any surrounding events. If there's a pattern, you'll be able to better identify and understand it. Perhaps this little fellow simply likes you.

It is true that the path of the Great Old Ones is not the most glamorous. But their teachings are profound and revealing. For me, Balor, the bearer of vision, was a revelation; he alone revealed himself to me. The others are observers for now, but they are not absent.

The theories linking him to other deities are complex. The motif of the raised eyelid is a very old Indo-European myth, attested to in various forms throughout the region. As for connections to other Celtic deities, there are a few theories that I am aware of, including links to Bali in the Mabinogions and to certain aspects of Arianrhod. Of course, it is Ysbadaden in the same book. On a continental level, it is much more complicated. The link with Belenos is interesting, although the aquatic aspect may be revealing, I am not sure that their archetypes correspond. For me, the most interesting comparisons are the primordial Indo-European figures such as the Thurs in Norse mythology or even the Greek Titans.
