Signed Name of student: Meike Weijtmans Student number: s4235797 Weijtmans, s4235797/3 Abstract Celtic culture has always been a source of interest in contemporary popular culture, as it has been in the past; Greek and Roman writers painted the Celts as barbaric and uncivilised peoples, but were impressed with their religion and mythology. The Celtic revival period gave birth to the paradox that still defines the Celtic image to this day, namely that the rurality, simplicity and spirituality of the Celts was to be admired, but that they were uncivilised, irrational and wild at the same time. Recent debates surround the concepts of “Celt”, “Celticity” and “Celtic” are also discussed in this thesis. The first part of this thesis focuses on Celtic history and culture, as well as the complexities surrounding the terminology and the construction of the Celtic image over the centuries. This main body of the thesis analyses the way Celtic elements in contemporary adaptations of the Arthurian narrative form the modern Celtic image.

  • Patinkas to Go with Our Beautiful Engraved Sets of Five Gemstone Elemental Stones©
    .!Qbujolbt!.! This Fact Sheet has been created by Patinkas to go with our beautiful engraved sets of five gemstone Elemental Stones©. About Elementals An Elemental is a spirit of nature, embodying four of the five elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Ether does not have a specific elemental spirit associated with it. All of the five elements are combined in different proportions to make up the whole of creation and all are, therefore, present in us. The energetic essence of elementals is quite unique and unlike anything else in the intangible realms. It is said that they are responsible for creating, sustaining, and renewing all life on Earth. When we work with the five elements and Elemental spirits, we connect with their realms and associated energies, benefiting from these vibrations and balancing those elements within ourselves. Water Undines are the elemental of water; the spirits of the water world. They hail from the West and their Archangel is Gabriel. One of the earliest references goes back to ancient Greece and a clan of nymphs called Oceanides who dwelled in the waters of the world. Mythology says that they were the daughters of Titan and his wife Tethys. They were well known to sailors and sea farers as generally benign spirits who could be called on for safe passage in troubled waters or to aid in navigation. To cross one, however, was to be avoided at all costs, as their wrath could whip up a destructive tempest. In European folklore, Undines were said to be the itinerant spirits of bereft women; wounded through unrequited or lost love.
