Sir Gawain and the Green Knight E-Text

I have read that the decapitation motif has Celtic origins.
Any information on this? What about origins in pagan English culture?

Please tell me three means the lady of the castle uses in lines 1179-1240 to try to seduce Sir Gawain and give an example of each. Thank you.
