Tríadas

Mucha de la sabiduría celta se conocía mediante tríadas.
Sin embargo, las que les coloco a continuación son un poco controversiales. Muchas son de Iolo, y es conocido por haber inventado bastante información relacionada a los druidas, y de haber dicho que era fidedigna.
Más allá de que algunas sean reales, y otras ficción, me gustaría de todos modos compartirlas con ustedes...
