Women played an important role in Europe 2000 years ago and there is no reason they should not be playing an equally important role today. What changed?
Archaeology has just scratched the surface regarding Celts in Europe. What has been found so far, though, controverts conventional wisdom.
- First we go back about 2500 years. The Celtic culture existed not only in the British Isles, but all across the continent.
- Evidence of ancient regard for women
- The beauty of the Iron Age Celtic world
- Who is Magdalena?
- Where is the Celtic gold?
All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final. Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all. To teach superstitions as truth is a most terrible thing.
