The Celts of Wales lived in clans and raised children communally, with druids providing education and religious instruction. Their lives centered around farming with iron plows pulled by eight oxen, and warfare, which they sometimes engaged in for entertainment. Druids played important social and political roles after 20 years of training, and the Celts originally held polytheistic beliefs that later converted to Christianity.

By Ellie Hough

2. family life
• live in a clan, children were not raised by
their birth parents and were taught skills by
the druids of that Celtic clan. Each clan had
its own social structure, customs, and own
local gods.

3. farming
• The Celts filled most of their days with
farming and fighting. The interesting
innovation that the Celts made was the
iron plough which was so heavy it took
eight oxen to use it.

4. druids
• druids were teachers, political advisors,
priests, and healers. Druids were very
important to Celtic clans, each druid had to
have around twenty years of training to
teach others.

5. religion
• first the Celts were polytheistic and
believed in many gods, but over the years as
they grew the Celts converted into
Christianity. The Celts have many extreme
religious ceremonies, for example cutting
off the heads of their opponents once they
defeated them in battle and displaying it to
the village.

6. war
• The Celts loved war they would sometime
even start war between themselves for
entertainment.They would go into battle
naked, dyed blue, and screaming at the top
of their lungs to intimidate their opponent.
