The Celts settled throughout Europe form 800 BC to 900 AD and their civilization was founded own belief in the living land and relationship to their own clan or tribe. They were early environmentalists , aware that every feature of the landscape had independent life and should be respected as sacred. Guided by magic the Celts believed that the darkness of the night brought them close to mysterious Otherworld of gods, goddesses, fairies and ancestors. The cycle of agriculture was also crucial to Celtic culture, and the festivals in the “Wheel of the Year” were of special significance to those born close to a feast day as they would take a leading part in the celebrations. Natural qualities relating to the season were studied, as were the plants, animals, and weather associated with them, for this is how the Celtic people defined their individual abilities and predicted the future. Their days of birth were particularly important, as many Celtic legends relate to the birth of deities and heroic figures and the Celts believed they would share in these mythological beings’ supernatural powers if they were fortunate enough to be born at the same time. Magical birth charms were worn by the Celts to influence destiny and identity personal characteristics, very much as we wear our own astrological sign today. Our Celtic Birth Charms may be chosen to empower your own Celtic birth sign, or by selecting another symbol, to manifest its spirit within you.
