The christian influence on what has been written about the Celts have until recently been so "great" (can't see what is so great about it IMHO :) that it has overshadowed the role they've had and the really great deeds they actually did. It is, I think, the only civilication in modern time where the genders haven't been important to what roles the people had in the society (except for the obvious ones of course - men can't get pregrant and so on). The female warriors were actually feared alot more than their male warriors for example.
In school the Celts aren't mentioned with more than a few sentences, and it seems like the human history begins with the Greek which is a joke. Ok, where do I want with this? I'm trying to speak myself into a topic for a discussion on how to derive at a good definition for the druids and what they were all about. The "Celtic Law" group is mostly discussing the law being active the years 500-1000+ which for my part isn't the time when the Celts were interesting in my eyes. I'm sure I'll get to that topic one time or another. So I'll shut up for now :)
