I've been reading some celtic myths - mainly Irish and Welsh - and I've noticed that a lot of the tales talk about the celtic gods as if they're a thing of the past. I suppose when the myths were first recorded, the celtic cultures of those places would've probably been a thing of the past to the authors. In the Children of Lir story explicit reference is made to the death of the Tuatha D? Danaan - In the version I read anyway (Ellis Mammoth Book of Celtic Myths and Legends).

For those interested in celtic culture or who worship those gods, what do you think about this? I've read of druids who take inspiration from the celtic myths and gods and worship them, but surely this would be a problem to some?

Sorry if I'm being vague - I'm aware that the Irish celtic culture is very different from the Welsh and Cornish, as well as the other celtic areas. I just want to know if anyone else has been confused by this?

Thank you xx

Blessed be,
Nymree.
