Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Celtic Christianity - Celtic Saints

Some scholars, such as J.N.L. Myres and John Morris, have argued that Pelagius had have a direct effect on the early development of the Celtic church in Britain. Others, including Charles Thomas,1 have countered that this belief is incorrect and based on projecting a modern point of view upon an earlier age. Christianity was present in Britain from earliest times and was certainly practiced at the abbeys of Glastonbury and Whithorn at the turn of the 5th century. Its expansion t ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Isle of Man - Sheadings and parishes

The Isle of Man is divided into six administrative districts, called sheadings. The six sheadings are Ayre, Glenfaba, Garff, Michael, Rushen and Middle. The sheadings form the basis of some constituencies and each has a Coroner. This office must not be confused with the Coronor for Inquests, a role usually fulfilled by the High Bailiff. A person may fulfil the role of coroner for more than one sheading at the same time. The term 'sheading' is thought to be a Norse word for 'ship division'; each district was believed to be responsible for producing a certain number of warships ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Odin - Etymology

The attested forms of the theonym are traditionally derived from Proto-Germanic *Wōđanaz[1] (in Old Norse word-initial *w- was dropped before rounded vowels and so the name became Óðinn). Adam von Bremen etymologizes the god worshipped by the 11th century Scandinavian pagans as "Wodan id est furor" ("Wodan, which means 'fury'"). An obsolete alternate etymology, which has been adhered to by many early writers includi ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - New Order of Druids - The N.O.D. Council

The Council is formed by members of the New Order of Druids, who work together to increase the quality of the services we offer to our members, and vote on decisions that need to be made. These members are not necessarily all Druids, some are also Bards, and Ovates, both men and women from different parts of the world, some are young and some are older people.

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - New Order of Druids - The Druid Senate

The Druid Senate is an organ within the New Order of Druids particularly overcoupling all its local groves through online interacting using a forum. Of each grove, two representatives act as "Druid Senator" within the Senate: the Grove Leader and a second member of the grove, chosen as the grove itself sees fit. The Druid Senate is intended to bring the different local groves closer together by increasing communication and cooperation between the groves, to maintain the N.O.D. goals on the same level and continously attempt to increase t ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Odin - Odin and Mercury

Less is known about the role of Odin as receiver of the dead among the more southern Germanic tribes. The Roman historian Tacitus probably refers to Odin when he talks of Mercury. The reason is that, like Mercury, Odin was regarded as Psychopompos, "the leader of souls". Julius Caesar calls Mercury the "deum maxime" of the Germans in De Bello Gallico 6.17.1. Paulus Diaconus (or Paul the Deacon), writing in the late 8th century, tells that Odin (Guodan) was the chief god of the Langobards and, like earlier southern ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Odin - Anglo-Saxon Woden

The Anglo-Saxon tribes brought Woden to England around the 5th and 6th centuries, continuing his worship until conversion to Christianity in the 8th and 9th centuries, at which point the old gods and records of them were almost completely lost. For the Anglo-Saxons, Woden was the carrier-off of the dead, but not necessarily with the attributes of Norse Odin - there do not appear to have been the concepts of Valkyries and Valhalla in the Norse sense, although there is a word for the former, Waelcyrge. Woden is also the leader of the Wild Hunt. The familial relationships are the same between Woden and the other A ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Odin - Odin and Jesus

The 13th century eddaic account of Odin likely contains some Christian elements. The scene where Odin hangs from a tree as a sacrifice to himself has been suggested to reflect the crucifixion of Jesus, down to the detail of having his side pierced with a spear; however, archeological evidence, such as the above mentioned Tollund Man, clearly establish that this form of sacrifice existed before the time of Christ and thus is most likely developed independently. Other inconsistencies, such as that Odin was hung by a rope from a tree whereas Je ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Odin - Blót

It is attested in primary sources that sacrifices were made to Odin during blóts. Adam of Bremen relates that every ninth year, people assembled from all over Sweden to sacrifice at the Temple at Uppsala. Male slaves and males of each species were sacrificed and hanged from the branches of the trees. As the Swedes had the right not only to elect king but also to depose a king, the sagas relate that both king Domalde and king Olof Trätälja were sacrificed to Odin after years of famine. It has been argued that the killing of a combat ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Irish mythology - Fenian cycle

Like the Ulster Cycle, the Fenian Cycle is concerned with the deeds of Irish heroes. The stories of the Fenian Cycle appear to be set around the 3rd century and mainly in the provinces of Leinster and Munster. They differ from the other cycles in the strength of their links with the Irish-speaking community in Scotland and there are many extant Fenian texts from that country. They also differ from the Ulster Cycle in that the stories are told mainly in verse and that in tone they are nearer to the tradition of romance than the tradition of epic. The stories concern the doings of Fionn m ...

Celtic Wisdom: Encyclopedia II - Fisher King - Later medieval works

The Fisher King's next development occurs in Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathe, the first work to connect the Grail with Jesus. Here, the "Rich Fisher" is called "Bron", a name similar enough to Bran to suggest a relationship, and he is said to be the brother-in-law of Joseph of Arimathea, who had used the Grail to catch Christ's blood before laying him in the tomb. Joseph founds a religious community that travels eventually to Britain, and he entrusts the Grail to Bron. Bron, called the "Rich Fisher" because he catches a fish eaten at the Grail table, founds the line ...

Main article: Geography of the Isle of Man The Isle of Man is part of the British Isles, an archipelago off the north-western coast of mainland Europe. The island lies in the Irish Sea, approximately equidistant between England, Scotland and Ireland. Approximately 48 km (32 miles) long and between 13 and 24 km (8 and 15 miles) in breadth, the island has an area of around 572 km² (221 square miles).

Offshore banking, manufacturing, and tourism form key sectors of the economy of the Isle of Man. The government's policy of offering incentives to high-technology companies and financial institutions to locate on the Island has expanded employment opportunities in high-income industries. As a result, agriculture and fishing, once the mainstays of the economy, have declined in their shares of gross domestic product (GDP). Banking and other services now contribute the great bulk of GDP. Trade takes place mostly with the United Kingdom. The Isle of Ma ...
