6,000 years ago the forerunners of the Celts invented the Old Europe Script, as it is now known, to became the world’s earliest proto-language. Found largely inscribed on clay vessels, the first ever written sentence reads: “The Bear Goddess and the Bird Goddess are the Bear Goddess indeed”. The Bear Goddess Artemes ArtioAccording to Dr. Toby D. Griffin the sentence means that the Bear Goddess and the Bird Goddess have merged into a single deity. This deity later became the Greek Goddess Artemis and the Celtic Goddess Artio--from which we derive the word “art”—the Bear Goddess Herself. Some of the symbols of the Old European Script survive today as Wicca symbols. In addition, Celtic Gods and Goddesses had their counterparts in Eos, Goddess of Dawn, Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, Zeus, Demeter, etc. It is this functional equivalency between pantheon of the ancient world promoted religions tolerance. But the origins of the Celtic Culture go deeper still. Where did these early Goddess worshipers come from? It’s believed that they came from a place called Circaesya: the Sea of Grass in what is now the Ukraine. This is where the name Caucasian originates. Where did the Circaesir come from? Apparently, from a people called the Aesya, who gave their name to the continent of Asia, though they were not Asiatic as we now know them. 15,000 years ago, our most distant ancestors apparently had light hair and eyes. But where did they come from? That remains quite a mystery, since before that man apparently evolved out of Africa with dark skin, hair and eyes. There are, however, theories that implicate the Star People in the ancestry of the Celts. I dont know . . . What we do know of these ancient Celtic ancestors is from what remains of their Neolithic settlements in places like Heuneburgand, in what is today Germany, Hallstatt in Austria, La Tene in Switzerland, and literally hundreds of archeological sites across Europe and the British isles. What we know is that their lands stretched from the Anatolia in Asia Minor (Celtic Galatia) north through the Macedonian Peninsula and the Balkans, Hungary, the Ukraine and central Asia, from the Black Sea up the vast Danube River basin (where the Goddess Danu derives Her name) northern Italy, to eastern France, Spain and Switzerland north of the Alps. Later they would migrate north to the British Isles where they still live today. In addition to what we learn for their remaining artifacts we know of them from the writings of the Mediterranean peoples, from the Greek and Roman cultures. Unfortunately, these reports were written by men who feared the Celtics and sought to destroy or enslave them. From the Greek historian Herodotus we first hear of the “Keltoi”, which means “uncivilized” and from where the name “Celts” may derive, though it may be they were called Celts because of their clothing (the forerunner of the Scottish kilt) which were woven in a plaid weave (also much like the kilt) The Celts themselves may have called themselves the “Gaedheals” Luna))O((
