Today, every aspect of the Celts culture is very visible in Canada. Everyone whose family roots lie in central, western & northwestern Europe have a Celt  connection, as both Celts and Scandinavian culture is very ancient,. It still lives through the Celts art, the Celts music, the Celts & Scandinavian writing, (runes and ogham) & the feel of the similar Celtic and Scandinavian spiritualities. We long to connect to our ancestors as we can see in the outbreak of reenactment & pagan groups, the Highland games, the movies coming out over the last few decades. I also was into the tales of Robinhood and loved the free pirates of the seas from both these Northern European cultures.  100% women owned.

We Cater replica items for SCA groups, highland games, alternative, reconstruction, theatre & movie industry, theme parties or weddings of Celtic, Scandinavian or Pirates - such as clothing & tools & medieval feastware.  Service and knowledge - circle workshops, Bard nights, mead sharing, sword fighting, drumming circles, ear candling & more  - See our School & events page.  We are proud to offer these groups what they need, & be the first Canadian Celts and Vikings Store located in Calgary. 

Hello Awakening Soul!

I have embraced the Celtic culture to better myself & to share a wonderful experience with you. My Celtic name is Brahva & I welcome you to "The Celts and Vikings Store" open 24/7.  I consider myself a Northern European Tribalist. This is not a Celtic reconstructionalist. No one else uses this term but I want to officially coin the term on my site (but have used the term since 2002). I am a Celtic Woman Warrior who has been through quite the journey, from physical, mental & emotional abuse to triumph. I am not sad. I have emerged stronger for it. I am now a Celtic Woman Chieftain (teacher), writer & Celtic scholar. I've read and studied the actual manuscripts and at least 1 book per week on 'the Celts' for 29 years now (1980), some good, some marketing garbage.  I also wrote four pagan courses.

I love everything about the Celts. When I use the word 'Celts', it refers to everyone who loves the culture as the Celts were NOT a race as some persons seem to think. It is but a term used to describe the tribal peoples who were speaking one of the seven connected Gaelic languages and they were spread from mainland Europe to Turkey, Australia and even China. The Celts had many different people from different cultures in their tribes.

Now lets look at the word 'Viking'. I use this word to refer to those who were pirates (pillagers and thieves) from both the Celtic and Scandinavian areas. Somehow these bad apples in the group stuck to the whole of Scandinavian peoples, when they started aggressively migrating across to Britain and Ireland during the 800's CE. Hence the word 'Vikings', in the Celts and Vikings store, means we are selling pirate stuff, it does not refer to the Scandinavian (Germanic, Norse etc) peoples. Besides our pirate items, we do cater to those of Scandinavian descent as well as modern groups of Norse, Asatru and so on!!

I wanted to make a place for other Celts and Viking enthusiasts, as I found there was no place for the Celts & warriors of today to find tools, armor, clothing, items, & knowledge of these Northern European tribes all in the same place. Us Celts & Scandinavians had to look in tons of places to piece together - the Celts and Vikings life, beliefs and items they used. So I made it my mission to do so in order to make it easier for future generations. Along the way I've met other seekers who are thrilled to share & learn from my growing Norther European tribe, and those that stay are givers, not takers, the ones that truly "get it." - Thus the creation of a Celts and Vikings Store not only helps out the Celts in my tribe but caters to other Celts looking for us.

There are many aspects that set my Celtic store apart from all others. 

                                          

1) The Celts and Vikings store helps make your new item a great conversation piece as well as a fine quality purchase because of the wealth of info about each. Our Celtic store features handmade items like modern or ancient ornaments or other accessories the Celts would have made by Francis, Jeff and Dye, Brynlyall's masks, or Eirlyss's art, or walking sticks & other wooden and miscellaneous items by Brahva or Max.

2) There is a lot of history and research behind my choices of articles for this website.

3) I keep a wide variety of designs & I add new items continually. I answer all messages promptly within 2 business days and will go out of my way to get you, the customer, what they want or something similar if we've run out or suppliers have none left.

4) I can also help you with ideas to create that special day & answer any question you might have on the Celts. You will also find other Celtic / Viking groups in your area here as well. The Celts and Vikings Store supports individual talent over large chains, so if you make something the Celts used, by all means contact us!

5) Best of all - We offer FREE SHIPPING for our Customers! We ship worldwide on many of our products and our warehouse is open to the public Fridays 6 - 9 pm and Saturdays 2 to 5 pm.
