Celtic animism

Celtic animism is a way of thinking about the world where people believe that everything has a soul or spirit. Just like you have a spirit that makes you alive, animals, plants, rocks, and even the wind and the sun are believed to have their own spirit too!

Ancient Celts believed that everything was connected and that every living thing had a special purpose. Trees had the power to heal, and animals had wisdom that could help humans learn. That's why they treated nature with respect and kindness.

They had special rituals to celebrate nature, like dancing around a bonfire during the solstice, or giving offerings to the gods of nature. They also used symbols like the spiral, the triskelion, and the knot to represent the interconnectedness of everything in nature.

Today, some people still follow Celtic animism and use these ancient beliefs to connect with nature and find meaning in their lives. They might talk to plants or animals, meditate in the woods, or create art inspired by nature to feel closer to the spirits of the world around them.
