I've been working to bring you some of the best Celtic related culture links on the web. As always I could use some help so if you know of a good site not listed here, feel free to mail me. Like the other sections this is still under some heavy construction so stay tuned. I will be updating this section weekly and eventually be adding some content of my own.

A to Z of Ancient Ireland

A very informative site for those of you that are interested in Celtic mythology and history.

Early British Kingdoms

One of several sites devoted to such topics. An extremely informative site worthy of Authurian legend. Check it out! Highly recommended.

King Aurthur and Early British Kingdoms

Whether a novice or an expert looking for information on King Aurthur and Early British Kingdoms, this is the place for you.

Celtic Origins

To begin the start on your own personal history check out this site that features genealogy services. For about $45 per hour they can give you a great deal of information about your ancestors. You can submit all the information you have on-line. The wonders of the web.

Celtica

Welsh Gaelic anything is grossly misrepresented. This site is dedicated to teach the world about the Welsh culture. Good content, and its written in English or in Welsh Gaelic if your up for a challenge. I've been to Whales, its the only place I've been where single car roads have 4 Q's and 2 Z's in their name.

Celtic Encyclopedia

A site that has almost everyone related to Celtic history in some manner, way, shape or form. A great way to get started in Celtic mythology and history , unfortunately it isn't complete.

Irish Ancestory

This site is sponsored by the Irish Times. Browse through some of their records, search for a surname, this site is very user friendly and free for some of the more basic information. For a few dollars more you have some added incentives of your search. I highly recommend you start here, the main reason is that the first few levels of information (sometime the hardest to find) are free. Secondly it's relatively cheap to get some more detailed information on what your looking for.

Irish Family History Foundation

This is another genealogy site that is government approved and claims to have access to a host of records that some of the other services do not. They offer a standard fee of about $70 US for an initial search and about $250 US for a comprehensive search of your past. I would recommend you start with this site first.

Irish History in Maps

The history of Ireland starting from the Ice Ages and the Arrival of Humans to the middle half of the 1800's.

Irish History on the Web

The best site so far that has general and some specific reference to Irish history. A great place to get started on all Irish history.

Access Ireland

A site that features a Virtual Irish Pub, a virtual tour of Ireland by county among other things. The Pub isn't the best but may prove useful for information. The tour is more helpful if looking for information on traveling throughout Ireland.

Ancient Sites

A pretty advanced on-line community that has several sections to choose from. Taking mostly from ancient times (Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, Tara, etc.) you take on a personality (via avatar) and become one of the community. Friendly, free, and worth a trip by to chat with other people with your interests in Ancient Tara.

A strange little site that has some pretty interesting content including Old Irish Cures, and some folk wisdom.

CelticDom & LdyMystic

This is perhaps the weirdest Celtic site I've come across in my travels on the web. (But who am I to judge) This happens to provide a chat room like outlet for people interested in D/s & BDSM with a Celtic/Scottish twist. If you're into it, try this place out.

Celtic Earth

A pretty nice site that has a lot of related Celtic information ranging from literature to religion. He has a pretty small section of Irish literature, mythology and folklore and a rather small section of Celtic art he has found in his travels on the web. Some of the literature he provides is quite impressive. If your not sure what you're looking for try here.

My Celtic Page

Sara's Celtic Realm

A site that features a multitude of information and links to various resources. Has information about Druidic poetry, folk wisdom and a spot of history to boot.

Trinity College

Probally the most famous of all Ireland's school because it houses the Book of Kells and a lot of Americans go there.

University College Cork

Homepage of UCC, one of the most popular schools in Ireland other than Dublin, Galway and Limerick. I was there but was suffering from the ill effects of food poisoning I got in Kilkenny. From what I saw it is really a cool place to go.

The Beltane Fire Festival is held every year during the night of 30th April on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. About 12 thousand people show up to play with fire. The festival is a pagan ritual that welcomes the end of winter and the birth of summer. If 12,000 people show up it must be pretty cool.
