Hello! I'm trying to recreate what the Celtic world would look like if it had kept on being "Celtic" instead of heavily christianised, saxonised, romanised, etc.

I'm especially curious about two things:

- What do you think religion would have become (politheistic religions scattered around cult centers, organised druids, animist sects or maybe even generalised animism, perhaps the creation of platonic-like "churches" in which many gods are just faces of the only Divinity, in this case very connected to the idea of Mother Earth).

- What animals would dominate in heraldry? My thinking is stags, vegetal motiffs and antropomorphic figures (even though ancient Gauls didn't represent their gods in human forms, they ended up adapting this Graeco-Roman tradition) representing the gods they worship the most...

I'd like to have some more ideas on the matter, if you would be so kind. Thanks!
