Book excerpt: La religion des Celtes constitue un système de pratiques et de croyances basé sur un panthéon mythologique, civique et philosophique des Celtes. Comme les autres peuples de la protohistoire/Antiquité d'Europe, les Celtes ont développé un système religieux polythéiste, dans le cadre duquel officiait la classe sacerdotale des druides. Cette religion s’est progressivement dissoute dans la culture de l’Empire romain à partir du ier siècle av. J.-C., à l’exception de l’Irlande où la civilisation celtique a continué d'exister jusqu’à l’évangélisation de l’île au ve siècle. Le celtisme fait donc partie intégrante de la tradition occidentale. Les Celtes ont su résister aux invasions romaines, puis aux évangélisations chrétiennes en gardant leur identité principale, une forme originale de paganisme qu'incarnent les druides. Ces prêtres anciens, dont le temple était la nature, maîtrisaient les sciences de la vie, de la mort et de la magie. Ils honoraient les Dieux qui n'étaient pas encore humanisés. Leurs présences invisibles apparaissaient aux Celtes sous la forme d'animaux que les druides et les héros pouvaient reconnaître. Les récits et les épopées celtiques irlandais témoignent de ce panthéon vivant qui influence encore notre imaginaire. Le plus connu des dieux celtes à forme d'animal est le Minotaure, moitié homme et moitié taureau. Ce dieu primitif apparaît sur les enseignes romaines où il occupe le troisième rang après l'aigle et le loup, avant le cheval et le sanglier. Ces conceptions mythologiques constituent-elles une phase intermédiaire entre la notion plus ancienne des dieux à forme animale et la notion des dieux à forme humaine ? C’est la question que, dans son inventaire des figures mythologiques de la Gaule et de l’Irlande, se pose Henri d’Arbois de Jubainville. Il en conclut que, contrairement à l’opinion répandue chez les géographes et les historiens grecs, les druides n’enseignaient pas «la métempsychose pythagoricienne» mais d'autres rites racontés dans cet ouvrage richement documenté.

Book excerpt: Scant records remain of the ancient Celtic religion beyond some eleventh- and twelfth-century written material from the Irish Celts and the great Welsh document Mabinogion. This classic study by a distinguished scholar, builds not only upon the surviving texts but also upon folk customs derived from the rituals of the old cults. A masterly and extremely readable survey, it offers a reconstruction of the essentials of Celtic paganism: fascinating glimpses into primitive forms of worship involving rites centered on rivers and wells, trees and plants, and animals; and examinations of evidence from Celtic burial mounds to explore beliefs and customs related to the culture of the dead, including rites of rebirth and transmigration.
