• The river Thames has its own diety, Old Father Thames, who appears as a bearded man with healing powers.

• In 1998 the Thames Archaeological survey found the remains of a huge oak bridge built 3500 years ago were votive offerings of valuable goods to appease the spirits of the river were unearthed
• The Celts saw rivers as the life giving forces of health, and plenty, and offered them rich gifts and sacrifices. At one time rivers were thought of as deities with powers to cure illness (south-running rivers)

• On the banks of the Shannon Rover, stands the ruin of one of the largest ancient Celtic monuments a place of learning and pilgrimage.
• According to Celtic legend, Rowan trees once dropped their bright red berries into a sparkling well full of salmon.
• Fish that ate the fruit grew red spots and great wisdom, and men labored to catch and eat these "fish of knowledge.“
• Women were barred from catching the salmon. • A brave rebel name Sionan caught and ate one of
the wise fish. The next moment, a great flood burst from the well forever carrying her westward to the sea. This is now the longest river in the land.
