The Celtic people have always honored stories.By the light of the fire they
would gather to listen to the tales that had been handed down to them by their
ancestors.Even today this oral tradition of storytelling is still popular
among the Celts. They do not simply dismiss stories as a mere distraction for
children or those who have nothing better to do. Rather, they understand that
stories are the way that we can become more human, more compassionate, and more
at peace with our place in this world. They know too that stories can often
teach us more about the truth than historical facts and figures.They are quite
comfortable with the notion that that which can be seen on this earth is often
less real than that which cannot be seen.

feature prominently in the Celtic stories.
