No defined path. The passage between <a href=\"https:\/\/huellasdelpasado.eu\/en\/los-origenes-mitologia-celta\/\">the visible and the invisible<\/a> could occur in many places\u2026 and, at times, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the ancient Celts, the world was not completely separated from the Otherworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was simply\u2026 veiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in certain places, that veil became thinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The S\u00eddhe: where reality becomes permeable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important gateways to the Otherworld were the S\u00eddhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term, in Old Irish, refers to hills or burial mounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in Celtic tradition, these places were much more than landscape formations. They did not refer to a specific site, but to a type of place. Spaces the Celts understood as entrances to the Otherworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the arrival of humans, the Tuatha D\u00e9 Danann withdrew into these places, continuing to exist in a nearby but invisible realm. Over time, they became known as the <strong>Aos S\u00ed,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From that moment on, the S\u00eddhe were no longer just hills\u2026 they were doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Places where the invisible could manifest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real places connected to the Otherworld<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although many of these beliefs belong to the realm of myth, some of the places associated with the Otherworld still exist today and are part of the Irish landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the ancient Celts, these were not simple geographical features. They were points of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Places where reality could open into something more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sacred mounds and hills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Br\u00fa na B\u00f3inne (a complex including Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Newgrange<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dowth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hill of Tara (Teamhair na R\u00ed), ancient political and symbolic center of Ireland&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knockma (Cnoc Meadha)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these places are thousands of years old.
