Remember that Brahmanism evolved long after the Aryan peoples arrived in India, and that the magic of Gods like Odin, who relates to Lugus, is specifically referred to as women's magic. In Celtia we find the strongest, most independent Goddesses in the North, and see that warrior strength is subservient to the Lady. We also know that the Celts venerated wells and streams as much as sun or fire. In fact, fire itself was in some ways feminine, as in its connection with Brigid, It is important to remember that the Celtic immediate precursors of the Celts who created the great culture were not very different from their successors. Most ADF folk will agree that we need to maintain a healthy relationship with the Underworld powers as surely as with the Heavenly.
