Celtic mythology is the mythology of Celtic polytheism, apparently the religion of the Iron Age Celts. Like other Iron Age Europeans, the early Celts maintained a polytheistic mythology and religious structure. Among Celts in close contact with Ancient Rome, such as the Gauls and Celtiberians, their mythology did not survive the Roman empire, their subsequent conversion to Christianity, and the loss of their Celtic languages. It is mostly through contemporary Roman and Christian sources that their mythology has been preserved. The Celts peoples who maintained either their political or linguistic identities (such as the Gaels and Brythonic tribes of Great Britain and Ireland) left vestigial remnants of their forebears' mythologies, put into written form during the Middle Ages.

Q. I'm looking up a little celtic mythology for sculpture project and the stuff I'm pulling up straight off google or yahoo isn't quite doing it for me. Does anyone have some more in depth information, or can you direct me to a link of a good website? Any help is much appreciated. :) "The Celts, like the Germanic tribes, believed that a pillar or tree held up the sky, and that the end of the world would come with the falling of this pillar/tree." This is what wiki answers had to offer, but I want deeper information. Are there possibly deifferent sects of the celtic beliefs?
