magick of the picts

As has been mentioned, there is little information about the Picts except scholarly work based on the archeology of Pictish sites because the Picts had no written language in which to pass down information about themselves.

But I am curious as to why you believe that the Picts are not a Celtic people. All information these days indicate that, while their roots may lie in the Bronze Age or earlier in Scotland, they became a Celtic people because they spoke a form of Celtic language and shared Celtic culture. It is this cultural sharing that makes a people Celtic, not genetic.

There is an interesting article on the Pictish language as being a form of Brythonic Celtic (like the lanugage of Wales and the Isle of Man) from the University of Glasgow at http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/2081/ The idea that the Picts were a non-IndoEuropean people or even a Germanic people was tossed around for a time, but now that idea seems to have been largely discarded by current scholars.

I might also point you at the newest research which is pointing towards the origin of the Celtic culture as being in the British Isles rather than on the Continent. You might want to read "Celtic From the West" by Barry Cunliffe. It is now up to three volumes of research by Dr. Cunliffe and others on this topic.

You are of course correct that the Picts and the Scots were not the same. The Scots are descendants of immigrants to Dal Riada in Scotland from northern Ireland. Both were Celtic peoples, but their language roots were somewhat different and their place of origin also differed.

Its hard to say any about 100%
The work is still on going

I would love to see what DNA test say
