A vital resource for understanding the ancient cultural fabric of Europe, Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times is a classic work that explores the religious beliefs, rituals, and cosmology of the Celts before the advent of Christianity. Edward Anwyl delves into the roots of Celtic spiritual thought through the lenses of linguistics, archaeology, ethnology, and comparative religion. The book covers topics such as animism, totemism, nature cults, and the development of individualized deities, illustrating how Celtic religious ideas evolved alongside the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to agrarian communities. Especially notable are discussions of the Druid priesthood, beliefs about the Otherworld, nature spirits, and war gods—revealing the richness and depth of Celtic spirituality. First published in 1906 and reissued in 2025 by Atrisuha Yayınları, this edition offers modern readers a chance to explore the mystical and enigmatic world of the Celts. Written with scholarly rigor yet accessible language, this work remains an essential reference for anyone interested in history, mythology, religious studies, or anthropology.
