    74. Battle Scars and Sacred Stars - The Story of the Picts

    Two thousand years ago, an unstoppable empire met an immovable people. Rome’s mighty legions had conquered most of Celtic Britain . . . except for the tribes of the far north. We have little direct evidence for Pictish culture, but there are strong suggestions that long before Christianity reached Scotland, the early Picts were using Neolithic sites built with mathematical precision — not just to honour their gods, but to track the stars and planets across the heavens. And what they left behind is more than just stone — it’s a prehistoric observatory that still works to this day.The Picts course is course on the website: https://celticsource.online/courses/the-picts/To receive a series of videos from the Celtic Source archive, please sign up to the mailing list: https://celticsource.online/mailing-list/David Nance's original paper: https://aura.abdn.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/2164/18401/Nance_SGJ_Investigation_Aberdeenshire_Ritual_VOR.pdf?sequence=1

    71. The Celtic Equinoxes?

    The Wheel of the Year was a concept invented in the mid-20th century to describe a cycle of 8 seasonal pagan festivals, many of which were taken from Irish culture. More recently, the whole concept of an eight-fold year has been questioned, the assumption being that some festivals have no basis in history. But the situation, in the Celtic cultures at least, is a bit more nuanced.
