Legends and Folklore

The Irish, the Welsh, and the Gauls are just a few of the ancient Celtic civilizations that contributed to the compilation of Celtic myths and folklore that make up Celtic mythology. The collection of tales that are unique to the Celtic peoples is known as Celtic mythology and Irish folklore. There are numerous tales about the small people, also known as the wee folk or fairies, that may be found woven into the local mythology of the Celtic regions. Fairies, elves, giants, goblins, and other fantastical entities often appear in Celtic folklore and legends. These tales often have elements of heroism, adventure, and romance.
