Celtic Otherworld
The Otherworld (orbis alius, so named after Lucan's account of the druidical doctrine of metempsychosis, Pharsalia, 1, 457) is a concept in Celtic mythology, referring to a realm of the dead, the home of the deities or spirits.
Tales and folklore describe it as Fortunate Isles in the western sea, or at other times underground (such as in the Sídhe mounds) or right alongside the world of the living, but invisible to most humans.
