Knowing where people come from and where they get their information is always important.  Below are the sources that I have used with my research for my practices.  It is not a conclusive list in any way regarding sources on Indo-European or Gaulish polytheism, but it is a good place to start and I highly recommend all of these sources.

Gaulish Studies:

Ancient Fire: An Introduction to Gaulish Celtic Polytheism by Segomâros Widugeni: This is a go-to for anyone who is looking for a good introduction book to Gaulish polytheism.

The Celtic Gauls: Gods, Rites, and Sanctuaries by Jean-Louis Brunaux: This book is a short, but condensed, overview of the Gaulish Celts and their culture.  It is great for beginners.

Celts and the Classical World by David Rankin: This book is an in-depth look into the classical writers who wrote about the Celts on the continent and their involvement with the Mediterranean world.  The book looks at what was written, who wrote it, where they came from, why they were writing about the Celts, and what other personal biases they had all within a historical context.  The book’s main focus is on the Continental Celts, but it also has a couple chapters on the Iberian and Galatian Celts, as well as references to the Britton and Irish Celts for some cross-analysis.

The Gallic War: Seven Commentaries on The Gallic War with an Eighth Commentary by Aulus Hirtius (Oxford World Classics) by Julius Caesar: This book is one of the most extensive Classical primary sources regarding the Gaulish Celts.

Roman Cult Images: The Lives and Worship of Idols from the Iron Age to Late Antiquity by Philip Kiernan: This book takes an in-depth look at the interior of temple structures during the Iron Age and Roman Period of Western Europe (areas occupied by the Gaulish Celts). It talks about central concepts and themes regarding Gaulish ritual space, theological concepts attached to them, and their iconography. This book is a MUST-READ for anyone looking at a solid reconstructed understanding of Gaulish ritual space. Reading this book along with Indo-European Sacred Spaces by Rodger Woodward will give you a solid understanding of IE sacred space themes.

Lady with a Mead Cup: Ritual, Prophecy, and Lordship in the European Warband from La Tène to the Viking Age by Michael J Enright: This book is a breakdown of nomadic warband groups in Bronze and Iron Age Europe, specifically their development from the Mediterranean regions into central Europe with the Hallstatt and La Tène Celts and it’s migration into German culture, which eventually evolved into Norse Viking culture. Most of this book focuses on the warbands of the European Celts and talks about concepts of sovereignty, the importance of sacred drinking, and the role of Rosmertâ and Lugus in regard to Gaulish Celtic Culture and these warbands.

Celtic Curses by Bernard Mees: This book is more about early Gaulish poetic devices than it is about magical systems, although the fundamentals of Gaulish magical systems relating to their religious practices are covered in this book to a certain degree. I would recommend reading Indo-European Poetry and Myth by Martian L West (I-EP&M) before reading this book because I-EP&M covers much of the foundational elements of IE mythic literature and themes and if you read Celtic Curses after I-EP&M, Celtic Curses feels like a continuation of I-EP&M. Both books are HIGHLY recommended…….

The World of the Druids by Prof. Miranda Aldhouse-Green PhD: This book is about general information about the Druids among the Ancient Celts, focusing primarily on historical accounts and archeology evidence found among the ancient Gaul, with the last few chapters cover the Druids in the British Isles and the modern Druid movement. Except for a few points here and there scattered throughout the book (such as a page dedicated to Celtic Shamanism, which she still gravitates towards in her most recent books on the topic despite the volume of evidence showing that this was not a thing), the text is a great resource to research/data-mine for fundamental information on the Druids of Gaul.

De Medicamentis Liber by Marcellus Empiricus (also known as Marcellus Burdigalensis; “Marcellus of Bordeaux”): Marcellus was a Gallo-Roman doctor from the 4^th and 5^th centuries CE who wrote about various medical treatments, which included magical charms and remedies from southern Gaul.  I have not been able to locate an English translation of this text, but if you are able to read Latin, it is a resource for understanding both medicine and how magical charms were used by the Gallo-Roman population.

Natural History (specifically Books 28 and 30) by Pliny the Elder: This section of Pliny’s Natural History talks about magical charms in the Roman Empire, specifically in Gaul.
