The Celts and Their Heritage

Abstract:

Tato bakalářská práce bude mít pět hlavních částí, z nichž první dvě jsou spíše více teoretické a čerpají z množství literárních zdrojů. Zbylé tři části jsou více analytické a kromě literárních poznatků čerpají také z návštěv různých akcí s keltskou tématikou a osobním kontaktem s lidmi hlásícími se ke keltskému odkazu v dnešní době.

Abstract:

The first part was supposed to show us who the Celts were, where they came from and what exactly they brought into the history of mankind in the period after the primeval time. The second part explains the importance of archaeological findings in examining the antique civilizations {--} not only the Celts. The archaeological sources are very important for understanding not only of the way of life but also of the cultural level of the specific ethnic or nation. It shows the level of maturity of the Celts as well. The third part focuses on the Celtic cultural heritage that can be seen nowadays. The Celtic cultural heritage is really huge and this part of the work is prepared to show again the parts which are less discussed and neglected. This work might serve as an impulse for researching of specific part of the Celtic cultural heritage, for example Celtic habits or languages. The fourth part talks about the Celtic religion, faith and esotery. This part of the Celtic heritage is not easily seen by the people and an ordinary man can come across it very rarely. The Celtic religion is dead and nowadays we know only a little about it. The biggest contribution of this part is gathering of the basic information about druids and their teachings. The next contribution is insight to the issue of supposed ley-lines and possibilities in studies of them within the other work. The last fifth part maps the organizations and associations whose work is connected with the Celts or druidism. It shows all the most important Czech Celtic or druidic groups clearly and relevantly.
