One of the things that is always asked by people is why did you choose the path that your on? What made you decide that this was the religion that you would follow? One of the main reasons for choosing to practice Gaelic and Welsh Polytheism is the sense of 'home.' It's something that all pagans claim that they felt when they finally found their path.
I'm no different from that. My family comes from Germany, which east of the Rhine was part of Gaul. However, that's not the reason that I chose Gaelic Polytheism at all. I don't believe that you need to be from those places to practice this religion. My family also comes from England, Scotland, and Ireland. However, I'm not drawn to Irish or even Scottish Polytheism. I'm drawn to Welsh and the Welsh deities.
Since both the Gaul and the Welsh came in contact with each other then practicing both is constant with Polytheism and Reconstructionism as a whole. Honoring deities that were combined with Roman and Celtic is also constant with how I do things. I look at what is known and use that. So I chose this path for two reasons. The sense of home and it connects me to my ancestors. And I think those are the most important thing of all.
