About this audiobook
In this audiobook, you will find the most important facts about Celtic mythology, a people that is often overlooked or undervalued. Their tales and folklores have their routes in ancient customs and historical events, and with those backgrounds, you will get a greater understanding of the Celts. You will discover:
- More about the Celtic society, their religion, arts, and the collapse of that society.
- The Celtic history, traces of their language, and their relationship with the Romans who had conquests on the British Isles.
- Facts about their technology, warfare, and false stories or notions you may have heard about them.
- A concise outline of the Celtic gods and goddesses they worshipped and revered.
- Explanations about festivals and rites, as well as what they thought of cosmology and eschatology.
- The reason why the Celts were esteemed as one of the most terrifying societies in the world, as well as the others that made the top five.
Celtic mythology is intricate, complex, and the ideals behind their mythological beliefs were often intertwined with real-life events. This audiobook will examine how both myth and fact contributed to the culture and traditions of the Celts and how these influences and stories continue to live on throughout the centuries.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The 5 stars should be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me well. I think it's so great that it ought to have 6 stars. It's an interesting idea, the entire premise of this book. You don't typically see that in other books. And that's the reason why it can use a person like me to compose a couple of positive things about it. I didn't stop listening up until the end. That's just how much I enjoyed it. I was pleased to hear the right articulation of all the words by a skilled audiobook narrator.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5It doesn't includes myths not really.
And also includes about cultures that are not Celtic - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honestly, I feel that this is a very good audiobook for those that are showing an interest in this particular topic. Hi there, I merely wanted to write a few phrases of recommendation. I recognized a lot of the important things the writer was discussing. Some things reviewed my head, but that's normal for any book that has been written by a genius.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The 5 stars really should be 6 stars. Yes, that's right. You heard me. I think it's so great that it ought to get 6 stars. I hope you take my thoughts seriously, since I strongly recommend this book to you. I do not think the word "amazing" does this specific book justice. There needs to be a better word, and I will definitely keep searching, since it deserves something good to be said about it.
