For all this talk about returning to Celtic roots by both Celtic Reconstructionist Pagans and Pan-Celticist cultural nationalists, I’m surprised that there has been no serious effort to make Celtic Reconstructionism a part of Pan-Celtic cultural identity or to even establish and concentrate Celtic Reconstructionism in the Celtic nations. 

I imagine Celtic Reconstructionism as being useful in the revival of the Celtic languages from within a religious-national context. However, this would be an initially-subsidiary role played by Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism, similar to how it took a long time for Israeli Judaism (the religion) to catch up with Zionism (the cultural and ethnic nationalism) in terms of enforcing and promoting the Hebrew language as a language of both national and religious identity in Israel, resulting in the comparatively-late blooming of Religious Zionist kibbutz long after the Labor Zionist kibbutz movements had come, played their role and eventually declined in productivity and attraction.

Combining CR with Pan-Celticism would also help in defining a Celtic-centric worldview through terminologies which can only be found within the Celtic languages.
