The Ojai Mythological Round Table will hold its fifth meeting on Sunday, March 18th at the Ojai Foundation at 5:15pm.The peoples we call the Celts have left us a rich archaeological, historical and mythological record in continental Europe and the British Isles. From their late Neolithic/early Bronze Age roots to the western-most outposts of the Celtic world in the British Isles, their …legacy is far-reaching . Fabulous gold jewelry, mysterious bog bodies, heroes and warrior queens are all potentially present when we explore the Celts.On Sunday, March 18, Mary Diggin will give a talk on the Celts, their stories, their legal traditions and spirituality. She will particularly explore Celtic women and the marriage and divorce laws of Ireland. We will also ask how this rich and full legacy can help us explore new models of how we can be in this world, as men and women of today, as leaders, with our children and the earth.
