Mythology fascinates me… Greek mythology... Arthurian legend… Egyptian Myth…and of course Celtic Mythology… These are the four that I have studied to date… Unfortunately, and I hope someone can help me with this… I can’t seem to find any good reading material on Celtic Myth.

Greek and Celtic mythology has to be one of my great passions right now… learning about all the Gods and Goddesses, all their intricate pantheons… I just love it…. I could, if we had a few more hours in the day… spend many hours pouring over my books… learning all that I can… we definitely need more hours in a day… 24 is just not enough ..

Does anyone else share my passion?

Norse Mythology is my Forte. As well as Asian mythos, primarily Japanese and Chinese. The only Celtic myth I know is the Trout of Knowlege...and I'd have to look that one up, as it isn't fresh in my mind.

Have you ever been to this site Sapphire? Has some stuff.

Ficitonalized versions of some of the Legends have been done by Morgan Llewelyn. She's a very good writer.
A couple of books are Lion of Ireland and The Horse Goddess

well... I've read almost all the books in school library (age 8-14 or so) then moved on to the big library in Copenhagen... so far I've read all the comic books but the eral books... man there is soooooo many... I've given up on that... I can recommend writers for you not sites but it's all in Danish, Norweigian or Swedish none of it is in English unfortunately...

Wink Celtic Mythology

There is a sort of A-Z guide to Celtic Mythology, called "Celtic Mythology", written by Arthur Cotterel. It is quite good, but you need some basic knowledge to work with it. The best way is to tackle through the legends, one by one.
