Celtic Mythological Beings

The origin of Celtic mythology is tied to the oral traditions of the Insular Celts, with most surviving mythology belonging to Irish and Welsh cultures. These stories were passed down through generations before being written down by Christian scribes in the Middle Ages.

Physical descriptions of Celtic mythological beings vary greatly, but often they are associated with natural features such as animals, plants, or landscapes.

Celtic mythological beings exhibit a wide range of powers and behaviors, including control over nature (e.g., fertility, prosperity), protection and chaos, destruction, and underworld domains. Their abilities can also be tied to specific locations, times, or conditions.
