Hello folks, as you know (hopefully!), Celtic Source is moving to a new website at the end of July. The courses have already been moved over into our new community platform. If you haven’t seen the recent emails about this change, please get in touch. The new platform will be at this same address once we’ve moved everything else over. So as of July 25th, celticsource.online will look a bit different, with a new community forum for you all to join.

The Celtic Summer Solstice Part 1: Customs

Published on: 12/06/2025

Why is there no known Celtic myth for the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year? Unlike Samhain, Imbolc, and Calan Mai, midsummer seems absent from ancient tales. But perhaps its myth was never lost, just hidden in the gestures and customs passed down through generations. In this first video of a 5 part series, I’m going to explore the rituals and traditions practiced across Celtic regions, from fiery hilltop celebrations in Ireland and Wales, to sacred wells in Scotland, and the golden herbs gathered at the peak of their power.

Druid Reincarnation Through the Ages

Published on: 11/06/2025

In this video, we explore one of the most intriguing and misunderstood aspects of Celtic spirituality — the Druidic belief in reincarnation. While it’s often mentioned in passing, few have looked closely at what the ancient sources actually say about it. We’ll trace this idea from Roman testimonies, through archaeological clues, and into the vivid shape-shifting stories of medieval Ireland and Wales. Along the way, we uncover a surprising philosophical connection to the teachings of Pythagoras, and a vision of the soul’s journey that may have once underpinned the entire structure of Celtic society. Why did the Romans fear this belief enough to suppress it? And why does it still echo, quietly but persistently, in the myths of pig-keepers and poets born from witch’s wombs?
