The Celts were an Indo-European culture of France, Belgium, Britain and parts of surrounding countries. Though they never calcified as a nation, their cultural impact on modern life is great.

The Celts can be divided into five nations, as follows: The Picts of Scotland and Ireland, the Britons of England and Wales, The Belgae of Belgium and Northern France, the Celtai of Central France, and the Iberian-Celts of Spain. The Picts are the only of those peoples to survive to the present day, though they are now referred to as the Irish or the Scots.

The governmental organization of the Celts is quite analogous to that of the Native Americans. The basic governmental unit is the village, lead by a chief. This village would be part of a tribe, such as the Iceni of Britain or the Boli of France. The tribe, in turn would be part of a nation, though these nations vary in there level of unity. The Belgae, for example were very unified and fought as one on many occasions. The Picts, however were not at all unified and fought each other almost constantly.

And now a word on the religion of the Celts. Commonly referred to as Druidism, the religion of the Celts was one of praise to gods of wood and water and fire, but beyond that we know little. The Celts never evolved a written language of there own, so all we have are Carthaginian and Roman accounts of their life. Both of those peoples were more interested in exploiting the Celts then learning from them, and so there accounts tell us little about everyday life, including religion.

One of the few things the Celts did leave us, in the way of information on there religion are the great monoliths and stone relics of England, Scotland, Ireland and France.
