What reading level is Celtic Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Britain 'the goddess' Deva (the Dee), and Belisama(either the Ribble or the Mersey), a name meaning 'the most warlikegoddess, ' are of this type. We have again Axona the goddess of the riverAisne, Sequana, the goddess of the Seine, Ritona of the river Rieu, numerous nymphs and many other deities of fountains. Doubtless manyother names of local deities are of this kind. Aerial phenomena appearto have left very few clear traces on the names of Celtic deities. Vintios, a god identified with Mar...s, was probably a god of the wind, Taranucus, a god of thunder, Leucetios, a god of lightning, Sulis (ofBath) a sun-goddess, but beyond these there are few, if any, reflectionsof the phenomena of the heavens. Of the gods named on inscriptionsnearly all are identified with Mercury, Mars, or Apollo. The gods whocame to be regarded as culture-deities appear from their names to be ofvarious origins: some are humanised totems, others are in origin deitiesof vegetation or local natural phenomena. As already indicated, it isclear that the growth of commercial and civilised life in certaindistricts had brought into prominence deities identified with Mercury andMinerva as the patrons of civilisation.
