magick of the picts

That there is no wrighten word found for picts
Very true.
But i have seen. Over the last few years.
Its been found to a destinct group.
Need to find the universatys thats doing work.
Interesting reading.
Think its a Cambrige college

Celt and celtic have been miss used for a long time.
Modern panasia


I have found books out there on so called scottish/pict magick.
Most are sayed to be fluf

Yep, a lot of the books I've seen and read on Celtic magick tend to be solitary Wicca rehashed with a Celtic flavour (usually Irish or Scottish). It's unfortunate really. I'm a member of Ár nDraíocht Féin which is a kind of druid church that focuses on Indo-European cultures as hearth cultures. They try the best they can to be recon with what information we do know. There isn't a kin group for the Picts as far as I'm aware though. Might be worth checking out.

Its sad really
Most of the history and info
Are distorted by the romans and roman church

Some universatys are trying to build a better picture
But that will take time

I know picts go way back. Longer than most know

Maybe some day some one will start something.

I only have one book on Druidic practice and it appears to be more of a magical practice inspired by the lore. Nifty little techniques that I've used since I started out, though it's not traditional by any means. The Picts seem to be a people that are glossed over in how they are represented in history, though I do have personal interest in studying them. I'll come back with anything I find, whenever I find something worth while.

" Theories abound, although these days it is generally accepted that the Picts were not, as was once believed, a new race, but were simply the descendents of the indigenous Iron Age people of northern Scotland"

I would love to go there and study
Maybe put it to pen.
With out all the fluf

That's what I would like to do when I travel to Iceland.

Maybe some day
We can compare notes

But who has the money

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
