Who Were the Celts?: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the Celts from 1000 B.C. to the PresentThe ancient Celts were exceptional in their preference for goddesses over gods. Yet this may not be surprising in a people who had female rulers, invented chivalry, and were ahead of their time in having equal rights for men and women. While the Romans created a goddess of sewers (Cloacina), the Celts had goddesses for things they revered, such as the forest, and horses -- and even war. |
