I know a celt, I call her "Celt", who honours The Morrigan and others...
Unusual but pleasant, if not a bit homicidal.

No but her parents were. As were my grandfathers parents lol.


That's interesting.

I guess back then, they allowed the immigrants and their children to hold onto their culture a bit longer.
Or else there was a stronger tie to the Homeland.
This was similar in Canada.
Immigrant cultures didn't mix that much, stuck together and hence, the old culture maintained itself longer.
