To be fair, that's due to the fact that almost all of the fallacies, folklores, as well as methods have been passed down by word of mouth. The best bards of D&ampD possess a contact of Celtic ancestry. I once located myself watching a 'sing-off' between Irish as well as British people as they combated over the appropriate rehearsal of their much-loved folklore.

It feels all-natural for our rainy witches to follow from the Scottish Highlands. Poltergeists vary coming from hill to hill. Yet there's a contact of areal affection at the same time. Take a look at the Irish audiences distressed along with Sarah J. Maas, and also the portrayal of Hybern/Ireland as the bad guys. Not a great relocation coming from an English author, nor her 1st artificial pas. Nevertheless, there is actually only a bit of overlap on the Venn diagram for Celtic Mythology Reads and also BIPOC authors I simply found one. That does not indicate they don't exist in any way.
