Ltd. edition by David Price "Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times" by E. Anwyl is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the late 1900s. The book explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Celtic peoples before the advent of Christianity, detailing the evolution of their spiritual concepts and the influences that shaped them. Anwyl focuses on the relationship between Celtic religion and the sociopolitical structures of Celtic societies, including their myths, deities, and rituals. In this work, Anwyl delves into various phases of Celtic civilization and how they informed and were informed by the religious structures that arose in these communities. He discusses the transition from primitive animism to more complex religious systems involving a pantheon of deities with localized worship, linking this development to the social and material advancements of the Celts. The book also examines specific gods and goddesses, the role of the Druids, and the cultural practices surrounding rituals, emphasizing the deeply embedded connection between nature, community, and spirituality in Celtic life.
