O'Deaghaidh Family/History of the Celts Volume I: The Mystic Era

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 vast oceans and land masses. It was then the man was cleansed of soil, and his skin was pale and freckled, his hair was red like fire.
