Celtic Myth Stories Novels & Stories

Ciel asked reading my mind. “I’m not sure. When we met she told me a story about the gods of old that involved two brothers. It was the story of how werewolves and vampires were created. I remember that part, but the retribution and all that other stuff I’m not sure. What does that story have to do with this?” I mused aloud. Me and Ciel just stared at each other as the list of questions without answers continued to grow. * * * * *

I opened the book of Celtic myths, expecting the familiar comfort of stories I'd heard in childhood. Instead, I found myself reading accounts that felt less like folklore and more like historical records—tales of shape-shifters and ancient pacts, of curses that bound mortals to inhuman forms, of love that could transcend the boundaries between human and beast. How remarkably... relevant.

Gabriel would kill me if he knew. “Well there are a lot of myths and stories told for so many generations and cultures I’d like to believe those kinds of things are true. There are dragon stories from Chinese mythology and then you have the medieval knights fighting dragons. Sometimes I wish I was there to witness for myself what these people were actually seeing for those kinds of myths to told for so long. It’s very interesting.”

I ask, anxiously. “I was able to find records that held the ancient magic that I felt at the Johnson house, and I was correct. It’s eons-old dark magic, stemming from the Underworld or Annwn. This magic hasn’t been felt or seen since Scàthach, the Goddess of the Underworld, was banished to the Underworld with Arawn. In Celtic mythology, we have one God and one Goddess who oversees the Underworld; Arawn is a just ruler of his home and a skilled magician while he may be associated with dark intentions, his Annwn is considered to be an almost idyllic place for souls of the departed to rest. On the other side of the coin, we have Scàthach, She was once a celebrated shadow warrior and when she wa

“What was it for?” “I had an accident and ended up with a penetrating wound. I nearly died. There are the crystals dotted around too, decorations that remind us of the past we came from. Many of our hymns focus on the powers of the Sun and the Moon as they always did traditionally. They also pay tribute to the mother of all, the Goddess of nature.” He was doing his best to speak in code. To keep to the truth, but make it less suspicious to outsiders who didn’t understand. “The legend is that our people were defeated by the Vikings. The original members of the camp managed to escape and came here. The fairies and witches who lived here cloaked the woods to stop them from being found and kille

he said before some of them laughing right now. “But of course, I cannot say that I was ignorant. No, that was for the older generation since they forgot to take their medicine,” he said before Damien looked around and proceeded to tell the set for the rest of the night. Until someone was asking about the myth of Cyprus. “Well, once upon a time, there was this ship containing barbarians that were coming to an island that no one knew about. They landed there before they saw a beautiful young woman and they were enchanted by them. No one knows who she was but being barbarian, they took what they thought was theirs.

He had just returned to the sofa as Annie came in, her glass of wine in her hand. “Can I borrow this?” he asked. “Didn’t think that was your sort of thing.” replied Annie sitting next to him on the sofa. “I’m getting interested after what you told me about the circle, it’s fascinating. So there are folk tales about us?” he asked, flicking through the pages. “Yes, not just us, fae and other supernatural beings too, ever since history began really. Passed down by word of mouth originally and eventually scribes started writing them down. Some ancient texts survive, they mention us specifically.”

“I guess it’s story time, huh? Fine. You know how we came into existence, don’t you?” “I know the basics,” I replied hesitantly. “The Moon Goddess created us, right? To serve her?” He let out a bitter chuckle. “That’s what the elders tell us. But the truth is a bit more... messy.” He began to speak, his words deliberate and weighted with centuries of pain. **The Tale of the First Lycans**

Elena introduced the topic with confidence, her voice steady as she explained the common themes in shifter mythology across different cultures. “In Norse mythology,” she said, gesturing to an image on the screen behind her, “we see the concept of the berserker - warriors who would take on the spirit of the wolf or bear, channeling their ferocity in battle. The term itself comes from Old Norse, meaning ‘bear-shirt,’ referring to their animalistic transformation.” She moved through her slides, discussing Native American legends of skinwalkers, Celtic tales of selkies, and the enduring symbolism of wolves in folklore. The students were engaged, asking thoughtful questions and jotting down notes

Trusting Atlas felt natural now in a way I couldn’t fully explain, but trusting all of this… trusting what it might mean if I was right… that was different. So I stayed quiet and listened. “What are you thinking about?” Calyx’s voice pulled me back immediately. I blinked and looked up to find all four of them watching me. Atlas’s hand tightened slightly against my waist. “I was just thinking about some stories my mother used to tell me,” I admitted carefully. Zeke leaned back slightly in his chair. “What kind of stories?” “Mostly old myths,” I said. “Ancient creatures. Warnings. Things that supposedly hunted supernatural bloodlines.”
