Céilidh (kay-lee) MacNaughton

I am a Scottish-American, I love ancient history, fine art, and genealogy... to name just a few things. My life is steeped in Celtic everything. All aspects of my life have been touched by my ancestors, the Celts. I claim no particular denomination for the sake of remaining true to my beliefs and the guidenace of the forces that be. My tendancies are strongly Celtic, although I occasionally look to the Norse gods of my father's heritage.

I know this may upset many pagans, but I am also not a democrat, nor am I particualrly republican. It would be much better to explain myself politically by individual issues. I use the saying "live and let live" to express my thoughts on politics. Just because I don't personally agree with or understand something, doesn't mean I am willing to take a right away from another. I have no moral issues eating meat and whatever other delicious sustanance the earth has graciously provided, I like guns & weapons of all kinds, I am straight, and believe in small government. But I am also pro-choice, don't care who gets married to who because its none of my business anyway, and I think there are certain things in life that everyone is entitled to equally and regardless of monetary status, if they so choose.

I currently live in Wyoming, however I am an East Coast girl growing up along the shores of New England. I was born and raised in CT, lived in MA, worked in NH, shopped & vacationed in ME, and dreamt of VT. I love New England and its crazy weather. But, it is beautiful in WY, and I find it peaceful to have mountains in every direction.

I love Halloween, drawing faeries and fantasy, and all kinds of different creative projects.
I also strangely enjoy customizing ning profiles...

My personal websites are:

Evermore Arts :
My Artwork portfolio and information.

Red Branch Society:
Celtic society for serious students and revialists/recons/traditionalists that provides information on the Celts & Celtic Hisotry and supposrts those trying to revive a Celtic lifestyle.

I also work on a variety of websites, everyone of them having something to do with the Celts or Celtic culture that I love so much. They are:
United Celtic Nations UCN is a social network designed to unite modern Celts. We discuss Celtic topics and support those who are keeping Celtic culture alive.

Celtic Friends Network
The Celtic Friends Network is another social community for Celts. CFN is a place to meet new Celtic friends, share pictures, videos, stories, etc. I have met so many people and from all over the world. It's a great place to find penpals, artists, and musicians.

Celtic Encyclopedia
The Celtic Encyclopedia is a website for learning all about the many different subjects of Celtic culture. Articles currently available include Stonehenge, Celtic art, Celtic Jewelry, Celtic music, and other popular subjects. New topics are added weekly.

Celtic Symbol Dictionary
The Celtic Symbol Dictionary is a place to learn more about the many symbols of the Celts. It includes vaulable inforamtion about the triskele, tree of life, and others. It is a necessary resource for learning about symbols especially if you are considering a Celtic tattoo.

Celtic Mythology
Celtic Mythology is something almost everyone loves, especially within the pagan community as most Celtic Myths are of pagan origin. The Celtic Mythology website is a website that will covere the many Celtic myths and legends of history. It includes Irish Myths, Welsh Tales, Scottish Superstitions, and Arthurian Legends. There are still many stories to add, so if you're into mythology check back regularly or suggest a particular myth you would like to learn more about.
