Filología Griega y Lingüística Indoeuropea, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract Although there is no direct extant record of the language spoken by any of the peoples of ancient Callaecia, some linguistic information can be recovered through the analysis of the names (personal names, names of deities, ethnonyms, and place-names) that occur in Latin inscriptions and in ancient Greek and Latin sources. These names prove the presence of speakers of a Celtic language in this area, but there are also names of other origins. Keywords Onomastics, place-names, Palaeohispanic languages, epigraphy, historical linguistics 1. Introduction1 In this paper I will try to provide a general overview of the linguistic situation in ancient Callaecia by analyzing the linguistic evidence provided both by the literary and the epigraphic sources available in this westernmost area of continental Europe. -
The Mast of Macha: the Celtic Irish and the War Goddess of Ireland
Catherine Mowat: Barbara Roberts Memorial Book Prize Winner, 2003 THE 'MAST' OF MACHA THE CELTIC IRISH AND THE WAR GODDESS OF IRELAND "There are rough places yonder Where men cut off the mast of Macha; Where they drive young calves into the fold; Where the raven-women instigate battle"1 "A hundred generous kings died there, - harsh, heaped provisions - with nine ungentle madmen, with nine thousand men-at-arms"2 Celtic mythology is a brilliant shouting turmoil of stories, and within it is found a singularly poignant myth, 'Macha's Curse'. Macha is one of the powerful Morrigna - the bloody Goddesses of War for the pagan Irish - but the story of her loss in Macha's Curse seems symbolic of betrayal on two scales. It speaks of betrayal on a human scale. It also speaks of betrayal on a mythological one: of ancient beliefs not represented. These 'losses' connect with a proposal made by Anne Baring and Jules Cashford, in The Myth of The Goddess: Evolution of an Image, that any Goddess's inherent nature as a War Goddess reflects the loss of a larger, more powerful, image of a Mother Goddess, and another culture.3 This essay attempts to describe Macha and assess the applicability of Baring and Cashford's argument in this particular case. Several problems have arisen in exploring this topic. First, there is less material about Macha than other Irish Goddesses. Second, the fertile and unique synergy of cultural beliefs created by the Celts4 cannot be dismissed and, in a short paper, a problem exists in balancing what Macha meant to her people with the broader implications of the proposal made by Baring and Cashford. -

The Annalistic Account of Tighernmas. ACONVENIENT starting-point for our investigation into the origin and nature of the mysterious folk of the goddess Danu is afforded by the dinnshenchas of Mag Slecht. From it we learn that at Hallowtide—at the close, that is, of the autumn and beginning of the winter season — the ancient Irish worship-ped the image or symbol of a god with human sacrifice. Now the Irish annals have somewhat to say about the cult practised at Mag Slecht. In the Annals of the Four Masters we read, A.M. 3656 (i.e. ac-cording to the chronology of the Four Masters, 1538 years before the birth of Christ), as follows con-cerning Tighernmas, king of Ireland at the time : ‘ It was by Tighearnmas also that gold was first smelted in Ireland....It was by him that goblets and brooches were first covered with gold and silver in Ireland. -

Molemmilla maailmankatsomuksilla uskotaan olevan juuret samassa indoeurooppalaisessa lähteessä ja ne ovat olleet historian aikana jatkuvasti tekemisissä toistensa kanssa. Tästä johtuen niiden uskotaan olevan samankaltaisia rakenteeltaan ja sisällöltään. Tutkielman lähtökohtana on, että mytologioiden samasta alkuperästä huolimatta ne ovat kehittäneet omat, toisistaan riippumattomat maailmankuvat. Analyysin päälähteitä ovat englanninkieliset käännökset keskiaikaisista teksteistä, kuten ”Book of Invasions”, Proosa-Edda ja Runo-Edda, sekä Crosslay-Hollandin ja P.B. Ellisin kirjaamat myytit. Kriittisen tarkastelun kohteena ovat myös muun muassa Hermin, Eliaden ja MacCullochin esittämät teoriat mytologioiden synnystä ja tarkoituksesta. Teorioiden ja tekstien vertailu antaa ymmärtää, että molemmat mytologiat kantavat samankaltaisia indoeurooppalaisille isäkulttuureille tyypillisiä maskuliinisia elementtejä, mutta -
The Song of the Silver Branch: Healing the Human-Nature Relationship in the Irish Druidic Tradition
The Song of the Silver Branch: Healing the Human-Nature Relationship in the Irish Druidic Tradition Jason Kirkey Naropa University Interdisciplinary Studies November 29th, 2007 Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. —John Keats1 To be human, when being human is a habit we have broken, that is a wonder. —John Moriarty2 At the Hill of Tara in the sacred center of Ireland a man could be seen walking across the fields toward the great hall, the seat of the high king. Not any man was this, but Lúgh. He came because the Fomorian people made war with the Tuatha Dé Danann, two tribes of people living in Ireland. A war between dark and light. A war between two people experiencing the world in two opposing ways. The Tuatha Dé, content to live with nature, ruled only though the sovereignty of the land. The Fomorians, not so content, were possessed with Súil Milldagach, the destructive eye which eradicated anything it looked upon, were intent on ravaging the land. Lúgh approached the doorkeeper at the great hall who was instructed not to let any man pass the gates who did not possess an art. Not only possessing of an art, but one which was not already possessed by someone within the hall. The doorkeeper told this to Lúgh who replied, “Question me doorkeeper, I am a warrior.” But there was a warrior at Tara already. “Question me doorkeeper, I am a smith,” but there was already a smith. “Question me doorkeeper,” said Lúgh again, “I am a poet,” and again the doorkeeper replied that there was a poet at Tara already. -

Sobre La Religio De Los Pueblos Del No Durante El Alto Imperio: Algunas Observaciones
Acta Palaeohispanica IX Palaeohispanica 5, (2005), pp. 775-792 SOBRE LA RELIGIO DE LOS PUEBLOS DEL NO DURANTE EL ALTO IMPERIO: ALGUNAS OBSERVACIONES M.ª Cruz González Rodríguez De la misma manera que las instancias organizativas indígenas (cog- nationes, castella, gentilitates, gentes) no pueden valorarse únicamente en sí mismas, sólo como pervivencias de la etapa prerromana y símbolos de «resistencia a la romanización», el panteón indígena del NO1 tampoco puede entenderse sin tener en cuenta los cambios y las transformaciones que el dominio romano produce en esta zona de rico y complejo pasado. Como ya ha sido señalado en repetidas ocasiones, la información sobre ambas manifestaciones proviene de una fuente directa pero escri- ta en latín que en el caso que nos ocupa, la epigrafía votiva, reproduce las reglas de culto romanas tal y como demuestra la simple (pero a la vez rica) fórmula Votum Soluit Libens Merito y todas sus variantes más o 1 Gracias a recientes y documentados trabajos de investigación —tanto desde el campo de la lingüística, la epigrafía como de la historia antigua— sabemos hoy mucho más que hace unos años sobre las características lingüísticas de la teonimia indígena del occidente hispano. En particular; sobre su distribución geográfica así como su posible adscripción étnica configurándose de manera bastante clara lo que podemos llamar la geografía religiosa hispano-romana de esta zona. Esto ha sido fruto del enorme esfuer- zo realizado por parte de generaciones de investigadores, sin embargo, a pesar de todas las tentativas (como muy acertadamente ha puntualizado Prósper ( 2002), pp. 442-443, con un atinada crítica a las posturas más en boga entre los historiadores) sigue siendo escaso lo que se sabe acerca de la naturaleza de esos dioses —en gran medida por el pro- pio carácter de las no demasiado abundantes noticias— y, sobre todo, lo que desde un punto de vista histórico resulta más llamativo, de la relación de esa larga lista de dioses indígenas y los fieles que les hicieron la dedicación.
