Celtic tradition
Ring appears in Celtic tradition.
Welsh and Irish stories give rings as recognition-tokens and gifts. The object is a plot device in those literatures, not a Roman wedding-law.

Cauldron appears in Celtic tradition.
The Mabinogion and related Irish tales give some cauldrons extra work: plenty, revival, or a forbidden food. The pot is a Welsh or Irish story-object.

Cauldron is associated with Rebirth.
Some insular stories revive the dead in a cauldron, with limits. Revival here is a narrative technology, not Egyptian going-forth-by-day.

Annwn belongs to Celtic tradition.
Annwn is a Welsh otherworld in the Mabinogion. It is a neighboring plenty and danger, not a Greek Hades.

Annwn is connected to Underworld.
Annwn is one otherworld. The English word underworld is a blunt category; the Welsh place has its own rules of feast and raid.

Annwn is associated with Descent.
A raid or a visit to Annwn is a going-into an other place. It is not Persephone’s taking and not a Duat weighing.

Celtic tradition is connected to Knowledge.
The Mabinogion is a medieval Welsh prose of otherworld, raid, and recognition. It is literature, not a field recording of a pagan church.

Prydwen appears in Celtic tradition.
Culhwch and Olwen in the Mabinogion names Prydwen as Arthur’s ship. A named Welsh vessel in that tale, not Skidbladnir, not Naglfar, and not a later list-shield under the same name.
