2. The History Of Irish Mythology The Irish mythological cycle can be divided into four major divisions. The first is the historicalmythological cycle. http://bobreeder.net/iemyth.htm

Irish Mythology The Irish mythological cycle can be divided into four major divisions. The first is the historical-mythological cycle. Two important texts are part of this cycle: the Leabhar Gahbala (Book of Invasions), a mythological history of Ireland; and the Dinnshenchas (History of Places), a mythological geography of Ireland. The main theme in the historical-mythological cycle concerns the peopling of Ireland and the fortunes of the Tuatha De Danann (People of the Goddess Danann), who were the mythological ancestors of the Irish. The second division is the Ulster cycle. These myths are stories of the warriors of King Conchobar. The themes of those of honor and prestige revolve around heroic deeds and the hero Cu Chulainn (or Cuchulainn). The third division is that of Fenian. The Fenian Cycle recounts the exploits of Finn Mac Cumhail and his companions and deals with the cult and institution of warriors. The last division deals with the institution and founding of the great and lesser kings of Ireland. The Tuatha are described as demigods; they are beautiful people, possessed with skill in music and the arts. They are always spoken about within a context of fabulous magical powers and wonders, which define the essence of their manifestation. A central theme in the myth of the Tuatha is that of the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. During the First Battle of Mag Tuired the king of the Tuatha, Nuada, is wounded. Because he is now physically blemished, he can no longer serve as king. The kingship is then given to his adopted son, Bres. Bres's father is a king of the Fomoire, a group of people with whom Nemed and his people had fought in previous times. Bres's mother, Eriu, is, however, a Tuatha. The choice of Bres is apparently an attempt to accomplish an alliance between the Tuatha and the Fomoire.

3. Irish Pages From the mists of time comes our irish mythology. Here is a selection of Irish books telling ancient tales of Ireland http://www.spirasolaris.com/ireland/mythology.html

Irish Mythology Ancient Irish history and legends have three main sources, known in modern times as the Mythological Cycle, the Ulster Cycle (also known as the Ultonian or Red Branch Cycle) and the Fenian or Fianna Cycle. The ancient bards didn't categorise the stories this way. Instead, they divided them according to topic, such as births, adventures, voyages, battles, feasts, courtships, cattle raids, invasions, destructions, slaughters, expeditions, violent deaths, sieges, etc. The pre-Celtic inhabitants of the island had no written language. Theirs was mostly an oral culture. The first known attempt at an alphabet is the Ogham script, which dates from the last era of Celtic dominance. This type of writing was primarily done on wood, and so hardly any traces of it survive nowadays. Some claim that there existed vast libraries of Ogham writing usually inscribed on the bark or wands of hazel and aspen. If this is true, then it is possible that the great oral memory of the Irish was thus preserved through the Celtic era and into the Christian. However, when the early medieval monks set themselves the task of constructing a pseudo-history of Ireland, they recast the ancient myths and legends in a Christian mould. In so doing they demoted the old gods to mortals, and expurgate the sagas to the point when they became nothing but an almost indecipherable puzzle of jumbled passages. However, there are a number of manuscripts which have survived fairly intact and there are many others not yet translated into English. The Lebor Gabála or Book of Invasions is only one of a number of manuscripts from which our knowledge of Ireland's pre-history is derived.

We stand rooted deep in the womb of our Mother the Earth, while reaching up for both sunlight and rain from Father Sky, May their union within help us to grow in strength, wisdom, and love which may sustain us through all time! May Mother Earth and Father Sky witness my words! Woodland Celtic Wicca Celtic Wicca today is a very powerful blend of religious thought, philosophy, and magic derived from many sources both old and new. Celtic Wicca refers to all variations of Wicca which derive the majority of their mythology and ritual from Celtic Druidical sources. The other attributes which are common to Celtic Wiccan Traditions are intensive study and use of elemental and tree magic; deep respect for fairy folk, tree spirits, elementals, and all of nature; and preserving the importance of traditional Celtic values such as honor, courage, truth, strength, wisdom, and eloquence. The Church of Woodland Celtic Wicca views deity as a triple God and a triple Goddess. They go through a life cycle from youth through old age to teach the value of the special talents of both young and old as well as to help us stay in tune with the cycles of life and the seasons. The names and archetypes are ones traditionally used by Celtic people in the British Isles such as Brigit, Danu, Cerridwen, Herne, Lugh, and the Dagda.

Lugodoc's Guide to Celtic Mythology Through a monstrous perversion of the Bard's art, Lugodoc has reduced the entire canon of Celtic myth into bite-sized chunks, easily digested by today's 3-minute attention spanned video game-addicted goldfish-minded web-surfing generation. This is not a telling of Celtic myth, only a map. Chronological sense is maintained except where this would ruin the flow of the Celtic knot of interweaving stories. Try too hard to put these in proper order and you will go mad. Myth is not history. Some stories appear under their traditional titles, some I have had to make up. Some things in it are devilish lies, and some poetical figments; some seem possible and others not; some are for the enjoyment of idiots. There are two main cannons of myth, Irish and Welsh Irish Mythology The oldest of these stories were composed in the pagan Celtic iron age of Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, and passed on in the druidic oral tradition until the coming of Christianity and the decay of the druidic priesthood in the 5th century AD. The stories were then passed on by wandering bards, added to and bits lost, until the first scraps were first written down in a highly confused order with odd legal and historical notes on cow-hides by early Irish Christian monks in the 7th century. The oral tradition continued to grow and mutate, monks kept writing them down, and manuscripts were copied and then lost. These myths are scattered about in several still extant ancient Irish manuscripts written by Christian monks between the 12th and 14th centuries AD, such as The Book of the Dun Cow (LU), The Book of Leinster (LL) and The Yellow Book of Lecan (YBL). Some were written as late as the 18th century. The original pagan myths therefore suffer from varying degrees of Christian contamination.
