Celtic Valhalla And Sacred Wells – Mysterious Invisible Worlds And Magic Of The Fairy Folk
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The boundary between what we define as reality and the invisible world is thin. To ancient Celts, hidden realms were just as significant as the physical world our naked eye can perceive. Glimpses of these unseen worlds could occasionally be spotted, but only by the enlightened ones.
Like most ancient cultures, water was sacred to ancient Celts, and so was nature.
People have observed the Water and its powers over the centuries, creating myths and legends about it. Water has been credited with purification and healing effects.
In many cultures, ponds, pools, and especially springs were believed to be abodes for water sprites, nymphs, or dangerous, prophetic demons.
From early Celtic literature, we learn about the importance of magic and the supernatural, which shaped the destinies of many Celtic heroes and gods, as well as the use of curses, shapeshifting, and prophecies.
