Here are a few hair styles
The red hair is very Celtic I think
Kelts were an ethno-linguistic group of tribal societies in Iron Age and Medieval Europe who spoke Celtic languages and had a similar culture. We think of Ireland, Scotland and the British people of those times. It is not a nationality, its more and ethnicity I think.
They are much romanticized in movies.
The women had to be tough. While maybe not all were warriors there had to be a fair share of them. Again, they may not have looked as Hollywood portrays them but I thing their strength and equality were much like this.
Back in the days of Bodicea who was indeed a Warrior Queen, I am sure for survival alone in those days they had to have some fighting skills. The tribes had to share their skills so maybe (who knows) the younger unmarried women or those not having children would fight with the men. Maybe not in the extreme but I am sure that when it comes to defending hearth and home most woman will fight.
They were an artistic people. We know that because of what they left behind made in gold. Torcs and broaches, things like that have been found in many farmers fields. This is not a genuine example but I would wear it............the ivy is Pagan and I can imagine it being a symbol found in their designs. Along with the Celtic cross
modern day designs with the Celtic theme are popular at Ren Fairs and things to do with Fairy followers and Fantasy clothes. They are beautiful and I think can be worn in every day life. Why not?
More hair styles
Well I would love to show more but its hard to find really nice legitimate pictures of clothing, so this is mainly fantasy but well, who doesn't enjoy a little fantasy.?
Interesting post! I really enjoyed it! Gorgeous pictures! Janice, I would love to wear that gold ivy bracelet! Take Care ;o)
ReplyDeleteI liked the intricate patterns in the hair braiding. The gold ivy bracelet is gorgeous, and so was the beautiful green jeweled...hair jewelry(?). I am not sure what to call it, but it was pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love antique jewelry and antique inspired jewelry. I have seen many times on antique shows where people have found beautiful hundreds of years old rings in the ground under a hedge or in the garden in Britain. The most interesting things I have found here in the St. Louis, Missouri area are arrowheads (which are beautiful to me) and a bronze medal from the Spanish American War.
