Contrary to popular belief,
the Iron-Age Celts were Not the first ‘Ancient Britains.’

They were just the first invaders to bring aggression to our peaceful homeland.

With the melting of the ice and the resultant rise the sea levels... Low-lying Atland became submerged to form what is now known as the North Sea.... And our northern part of the Wild Wood became the British Isles.

The Continental Celts, who were becoming skilled at boat building and navigation.... Saw our lands on the horizon and called us ‘The Isles of the Blessed’....

Because they assumed they were seeing uninhabited forests and that they would be blessed by their Gods for finding new territory for them to exploit.

They had no idea that our Aboriginal Tribes had been here for some 5,000 years before them.

I ought to point out, that although we now refer to them as Celts or Kelts.... They were in fact many different tribes with a common history and language.

You could, if you want to, think of them as being the first Europeans.... And just like modern Europeans, there are many sorts... Germans, French, Swiss, Poles, Dutch, etc, etc.

However, they did have a lot in common.... They wore their hair down, often in long plaits... They all wore bright colours... And lots of jewellery. The men all had full beards.

They all drank too much and were all very aggressive, having no respect for human life.

They were always fighting amongst themselves... with the losers ending their lives enslaved to the victors.

All the real work, was done by the slaves who formed about three-quarters of every village.... So that the Free men and women, could spend their time fighting, drinking and enjoying themselves.

When they came to our land, they came up the river in a boat, which was something we Aborigines had never seen before.

They also brought Iron Swords, which we’d never seen before.... And when we when to say hello to them, we suddenly discovered how lethal they were.... And we had to flee, back deep into the forest, in order to survive.

The Celts, considered us as human-like animals, and of no importance whatever.... So they felt free to kill us on sight.

Luckily for us.... They didn’t think of us as potential slaves, just vermin!

They called us the filthy people... In their language, Faerie Folc... you may have heard tell of ‘Fairy Folk.’

I’ll tell you more of these ancient Fairy Folk in future blogs.... So stay tuned.
