Preface
It said that a Celtic man created the earth as we know it, but over the centuries other men have contested this belief for their own. Whether or not this is true is up for debate and not truly considered history but little is known about the origin of the Celtic people, only their folklore give us hints of what might be fact or fiction. This volume of History of the Celtic people is only folklore and cultural beliefs and it is up to the individual to decide whether they choose to believe this. The future volumes are fact and have been documented thoroughly throughout the years, some events I have been an eye witness to.
Chapter I: Creation
The world as we know it was once nothing but mud, for there was no separation of soil and water. No life existed on this plain mud, not even the smallest of insect or rodent. Just the mixture of mud and water, but what of the sky? It was black, no sun or moon existed, no Blood Stars and no lesser stars were in the sky, just darkness. By some divine miracle a hand burst from the mud and for a thousand years the hand pushed mud away from itself to reveal a man covered in mud. The man scooped up handfuls of mud and began to squeeze it tightly separating the soil from water, the water splashed upon him and washed the soil away. For years the man practiced this method of cleansing until the soil was separate from water leaving a vast ocean and single land mass. It was then the man was cleansed of soil, and his skin was pale and freckled, his hair was red like fire.
The man pulled on his hair until he removed a large fistful, he then rolled it into a ball and breathed his hot breath upon it until it caught fire. This large round ball of burning hair was placed into the darkness above where it remains giving light to the world and a bright blue sky. Then his stomach roared in hunger, a hunger so great is shook the world and broke the single landmass so greatly that it broke apart creating several continents and oceans. The man knew he needed to consume so he pulled a single hair from his scalp and placed it, root first into the soil where he waited until it grew into a enormous tree that reached into the heavens. From it's highest branches small creatures of various shapes and sizes climbed to the ground below and the man feasted. Over time seeds fell from this tree, the man picked up a hand full of seeds and with all his breath in his lungs, blew a mighty wind that spread the seeds across the world to all the other continents.
Over time the man grew lonely, though many creatures kept him company such as the dog, cow and horse, other being such as he existed.
