The Celts were once among the most powerful and widespread cultures in Europe, dominating vast territories from the British Isles to Spain, the Balkans, and even Anatolia.

But despite their influence, they never formed a single empire. Instead, they existed as independent tribes, often at odds with one another, which ultimately led to their downfall.In this podcast, we dive deep into the great Celtic migrations, their wars against Rome and Greece, and their legendary raids, including the infamous sack of Delphi and the invasion of northern Italy.

We’ll explore how Celtic warriors struck fear into their enemies with their ferocity in battle, their unique warfare tactics, and their distinctive culture that blended spirituality, artistry, and warrior traditions.The Celts played a crucial role in shaping European history, not just through conquest but also through trade, craftsmanship, and the influence of their religious practices. However, their internal divisions made them vulnerable to the growing power of Rome.

Julius Caesar’s conquest of Gaul marked the beginning of the end for the Celts as an independent force, and over time, most of their lands were absorbed into the Roman Empire.Even after their political decline, Celtic culture left a lasting mark. Many Celtic words made their way into European languages, and remnants of their traditions can still be found in modern festivals, folklore, and even place names.

Some aspects of their beliefs persisted well into the Christian era, as seen in historical accounts of people continuing to make offerings to ancient gods in forests and lakes.Join us as we uncover the fascinating story of the Celts—fierce warriors, master craftsmen, and guardians of a mystical tradition that continues to captivate us today.
