I asked why there didn't seem to be any "warrior" or dare I say "nationalist" type movements in Celtic European nations. One of the answers was given......
"Cultural Dilution: Celtic identity has been romanticized through New Age spirituality, fantasy media (e.g., Braveheart, Druid stereotypes), or commercialized symbols (e.g., Celtic knots). This makes it harder to rally as a serious nationalist ideology without slipping into caricature."
🤔
Also I've asked this before on nostr but no fish bit but for those of you that consider your Celtic heritage do you not consider a pre Celtic influence, for example, ancient Briton heritage? Is it fair to say that the ancient Britons were not really invaded by Celts but more adopted the culture of the Celt from Europe?

Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqspe8wd3lfd97u8n4hs94kv26hwl462jeu2ujzrfv8smeazrpf0wpqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsyqaakd (?)
It's nostr, let me be facetious. Are there not individuals who are inspired by the warrior aspect of celtic history rather than the 19th century romantic neo-druidism nettle-tea/river fairies? 😬
Maybe lack of written history, aside from Roman accounts, has meant there is not a lot of inspiration. Boudicca even an inspiration for female Britons? Do people in those areas identify with the different regional celtic tribes or is that lost?
Lots of questions as I'm interested. Also The Galicians from North West Spain not considered a celtic nation?
Interesting that the warrior aspect seems to have been ignored. I would have thought it quite inspiring.
Another question I have.....is there any evidence of the actual types of tattoos/body painting that people might have worn in those times?
