I've done some research and found out that the south-eastern part of Poland I come from could have originated as a land of Celtic peoples. This part of Poland and Western Ukraine is called Galicja (Galizien in German) and some historians argue that Galizien is the name of some Celtic tribe. There have been numerous excavations of Celtic artifact at archaeological sites in that area of Poland. The coat of arms of the Celts from this part of Europe was a black jackdaw seen on the shield of this warrior.
A lot of history of early Slavic peoples or proto-Slavs is still murky because those barbarians didn't really develop proper written language (and thus historical records) until Christianisation of the region in 10 century A.D.
I've always known that deep inside I'm a barbarian and it manifests itself in my habits, behavior, etc. I accept my barbarian identity though.
