Welcome to Everything you want to know about The Celts


Hello there! We are a modern day Northern European Style tribe called Maers Khohias. We are of both Norse and Celtic decent here. Come sit. Warm yourself by our fire!! We want you to feel at home as we share some of our Celtic tribe's hospitality. Come. Join in our sitting circle, round the central cauldron and have something to eat, in our Celtic round house. Once fed, sit back, relax, read and listen to some of our stories. Here you will find great information, taking you back in time to meet the ancestors.

If you have the opportunity to come in person and take in our courses taught at our Victoria, BC school, you'll hear more information, on the Celts and the Vikings, not shared here, as well as live music. We'd love to hear your stories too!!

In no time, you'll be dancing, sharing some good mead or ale and adding to the rooms boasts and toasts. We Northern European Celts and Vikings are waiting for you.

Having and event? We offer lots of props to choose from as well as great musicians and entertainers. This will be the icing for your Celtic or Viking medieval style event. Need some costumes or warrior gear? We shall help you there too. ... Or Maybe you are the studious type and want to study Celtic ritual, dance, music and beliefs, or have a you have a gift. If so you might want to take a course from our Druid/Bard schools. See here.

Celtic Surnames Came from Clan totems or Leaders

Fun Trivia: The cat is very important in Ancient Northern European culture and tales. Many last names come from cat as their ancient tribes totem. MacNeishe, MacBain, MacIntosh and MacNicol all had the cat as their totem, may have been septs of a tribal whole at one time. Scots were involved with the Picts and there was one tribe of Picts called Kati. Caithness and Sutherland was known as cat country. A famous Bard Talc, son of Trone was known as the cat-headed Chief. His battle garb was that of a cat skin with its head on his helmet. That tribes warriors all wore cat heads.
