Keltic, not Selltic.
Having as I do a mixed heritage of Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, French, and perhaps German, I consider myself thoroughly Celtic in my blood and birth. I insist it is pronounced with the hard C, sounding like Keltic, not Selltic.
While I don't believe in immortal deities, I do sometimes refer to archetypal deities for visualizations. Typically these include the Morrigan, Cernunnos, Herne, and Cerridwen although being as I am eclectic, Bast and Sekhmet frequently find their way in.


I enjoy creating Celtic Knotwork designs and I'm looking forward to getting my scanner fixed so that I may share these designs with the visitors to my page.

I live in a province where Celtic roots abound. I love Celtic music such as Clannad, Enya, and the Chieftains, as well as the newer variants provided by Loreena McKennit, Ashley MacIsaac, Rawlin's Cross, MacKeel, and others. I love bagpipes properly played, but I hate to hear them abused and made to sound like a dying pig.  I've been known to follow the sound of a pipe band halfway across the city to find where it originated. Of course, the siren call of the pipes often leads to the sight of Scottish lads in Kilts, so there' might be an ulterior motive there...

I have been swept off to thoughts of other times and places while listening to Celtic music played on Mandolin, tin whistle and bodhran.
I love the Celtic style of art and the use of vivid colours as exemplified in the Book of Kells and the art of Jim Fitzpatrick although my heritage leads back to the Black Douglas whose clan tartan is very dark, mostly black with thin stripes of navy blue and dark forest green.
I have a tattoo of a Celtic triskelle on my left breast in bright blue, circled with purple and filled in ivory. It has several meanings to me, all of which are as near and dear to my heart as the tattoo itself.
