"The authors to whom I am most indebted are Mr Elton ("Origins of English History") and Professor Rhys (“Celtic Britain" and in Academy. ) I mention also Mr Fitzgerald's article on the " Ancient Irish " in Fraser's Magazine for 1875, and his articles in the Revue Celtique. The materials-tales and myths are chiefly from Guest's " Mabinogion," Skene's " Ancient Books of Wales, " Joyce's " Celtic Romances," Kennedy's various books, O'Curry's Lectures, the Revue Celtique, Campbell's Popular Tales," and editions like Windisch's " Irische Texte." "--Celtic Mythology and Religion (1885) by Alexander Macbain

Celtic polytheism, commonly known as Celtic paganism, comprises the religious beliefs and practices adhered to by the Iron Age peoples of Western Europe now known as the Celts, roughly between 500 BCE and 500 CE, spanning the La Tène period and the Roman era, and in the case of the Insular Celts the British and Irish Iron Age.
