Are there any Druidic creation myths?
The ancient Druids left no written texts of their own of any kind, so our perceptions of their beliefs and mythology have to be made by inference from two sources. The first are the accounts of Greek and Roman writers, who were their contemporaries, albeit often hostile and variably-informed ones. The second is the much later literatures of medieval Wales and Ireland. Both these types of source are extremely problematic and difficult to interpret. One topic that is not addressed in either type of source is the issue of creation myths. We have absolutely no idea whatsoever how the ancient druids or Celtic peoples viewed the creation of the Universe, or what deities, spirits, or cosmic processes they may have regarded as responisble for it. This is a disappointing answer, I know, but an honest one. Back to top To submit a question for inclusion on this page, please email us.
