Best Answer

The Celts believed in immortality of the soul and they were one of the first European people to hold such a belief.It was not a theory of reincarnation but a belief based on the fact that when a person died he or she simply changed worlds.This was why the Celts put not only bodies in graves but all the apputenences necesary to sustain life,the notion being that the person would need all this in the otherworld.The Celts seemed to have believed in a constant exchange of souls taking place between this world and the otherworld.Because they believed not only that a death in this world was the means of sending a soul to the otherworld but also that a death in the otherworld was a means of sending a soul to this world,the Celts are said to have mourned birth and to have celebrated death.
