I was always brought up to think of 'celts' and 'picts' being on and the same. As you say, greek derived word vs roman word. I now have to think differently and I do wonder about the roots of the picts. As we know anyone west of the Rhine was a celt, but what were the Picts?

They were the hard bastards that the romans could not beat, but what else do we know?

They were converted to Christianity and for a while kept their own identity via their art.

The dominance of the female lineage would indicate a Mother worshiping pagan society, but would you expect the vanity based items (mirror & comb) to be attributed to the Mother? I certainly would not.

There are a few Z & V rod Christian stones such as the one at Elgin, Morayshire. Anyone know any others?
