IRISH MYTHOLOGY
CLIODHNA
DAUGHTERS OF CALATIN
The 'triad' or concept of threeness is central to mankind's understanding of the spirit world. There are reasons for this. . . but they belong to another book. In any event, Christians will be as familiar with their Trinity as the ancients were with a ferocious threesome of female spirit entities, Badb, Macha, and Anand, daughters of Ernmas, associated with Queen Medb and Rathcroghan. In actuality this was the Triad Goddess of war. Sent away (to 'Babylon'?) by Medb, she recalled them to fight in the Táin.
DIVIZIACUS
A druid of the Euro-Celtic people the 'Aedui', Diviziacus visited Rome in 61 AD and met Cicero and his brother. They discussed details of Druidic doctrine. The modern equivalent of this meeting would be a visit from a a member of the Brazilian rain forest people to the Pope. Or to the Secretary-General of the UN. He would receive a polite and interested reception and then be shown the door. But not before a photo-opportunity to demonstrate to the world at large that the concerns of the rain forest folk were high on the agenda of affairs. The actual details of 'Druidic doctrine' discussed are not easy to pin down. While Diviziacus no doubt spoke a type of Latin intelligible to Cicero, nonetheless the language required to express the Druidic concepts was not available.
DONN
The Dark One, Lord of The Dead. He lives on an island off the south-west coast of Ireland. Here we (the Irish) must go on our deaths. The actual island is unidentified. It may even be one of the Blaskets. Inisvickilaune ?

This page may take a second to load. Please be patient. A myth is a sacred story from the past. It may explain the origin of the universe and of life, or it may express its culture's moral values in human terms. Myths concern the powers who control the human world and the relationship between those powers and human beings. Although myths are religious in their origin and function, they may also be the earliest form of history, science, or philosophy. A folktale is a story that, in its plot, is pure fiction and that has no particular location in either time or space. However, despite its elements of fantasy, a folktale is actually a symbolic way of presenting the different means by which human beings cope with the world in which they live. Folktales concern people either royalty or common folk or animals who speak and act like people... A legend is a story from the past about a subject that was, or is believed to have been, historical. Legends concern people, places, and events. Usually, the subject is a saint, a king, a hero, a famous person, or a war. A legend is always associated with a particular place and a particular time in history. T his page will cover a few of the many facets of the mythological Irish jewel. Music, storytelling, and art were extremely important to the ancient Celts. Here you can find a glean of information on all of them. Surf and enjoy.

25. Irish Mythology Gave Inspiration For Sculptor James McKenna's Wooden Horses

GETTING A HEAD START
Mebh Ruane, The Sunday Times, March 18, 2001 A visit to Michael Kane's recent exhibition at the Rubicon Gallery promted this reflection on James McKenna. Michael Kane, life-long friend of McKenna, found much of himself in his paintings of James McKenna's sculptures, says MEDB RUANE Yippee-yi-ay! Yippee-yi-oh! Ghost riders in the sky! The ghost riders pause in a clearing up in W B Yeats's Hazel Wood in Sligo. Officially, the huge wooden sculptures are called Fergus and the Brazen Cars . Underneath that Irish mythology/punk band name is this subtitle borrowed from Stan Jones's much-covered cowpoke song, shouting about life, integrity and the music its maker, James McKenna, whistled as a young man in the early 1960s. The shout is silent now. McKenna died last year, leaving a studio filled with carvings. Michael Kane was one of his buddies. They worked together, drank together, forged a cultural manifesto that knocked the elite off its perch and led to lasting changes such as the founding of Project arts centre in 1967 and the restructured Arts Council in 1973. Just before McKenna died, Kane was making drawings of a small head that he had made back in the 1950s. It was one of those strange things. The series became paintings about McKenna but also about Kane - losing a friend, facing your mortality, remembering someone special.

According to the traditions of the Lebor Gabala Erren (Book of the Taking of Ireland), the Irish originated in Scythia and were descendants of a King Feinius Farsaid, a King of Scythia. This Feinius Farsaid and his son, Nel, went into Asia to work on the Tower of Nimrod (Tower of Babel in biblical history) and were present at the subsequent dispersal of the races after the destruction of the tower. Feinius and his son, both learned in the new languages which resulted from the dispersal, returned to Scythia where Feinius opened a great school of languages on the Scythian plain. In time his son Nel became such an expert in languages that pharoa of Egypt invited him into his country to teach his people the new languages of the world. So Nel went to Egypt and there he married Scota, pharoa's daughter. After pharoa was drowned in the Red Sea in pursuit of Moses and his band of Hebrews, Nel's great-grandson, Sru, fled from Egypt for fear of persecution by the Egyptians and with his son, Heber Scot, returned to Scythia. There Heber Scot won the kingship of Scythia. After a few generations, a descendant of Heber Scot, named Agnomain, killed a rival for the kingship of Scythia (a kingsman) and in revenge was driven from the country.

http://www.irelandnow.com/legends/mythology.html
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 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. The Tuatha are themselves later defeated by the Sons of Mil, the immediate ancestors of the Irish people. The Tuatha are said now to live in the underground of Ireland, in the fairy regions, where the fairies are subject to them.

Home Site Map Celtic Roman Nordic Quick Guide Dagda, Dahgdha, The Father God The father god of Irish mythology, his name means 'The Good' he is master of all arts and knowledge, and can be seen as one of the most powerful gods in the Irish Celtic pantheon.
His symbols seem to have been the cauldron (inspiration and wisdom), and the club (probably primal power). His cauldron also has the power to restore life, and was always full, providing endless nourishment for his peoples. The cauldron appears much in Celtic mythology and becomes amalgamated into traditions of the grail in the later Arthurian Romances.
In mythology he is the chief of the Tuatha de Dannan (The people of the goddess Dannan), and was a key figure in the overcoming of the Formorians, the misshapen race who inhabited Ireland before the Tuatha became dominant.
Later, according to the Irish myths, the Tuatha de Dannan become the fairy races under the hollow hills, when Ireland is invaded by the Milesians, so the Dagda becomes a fairy ruler.
The Dagda is also associated with the bardic tradition, and has a magical harp in his possession, which flies into the hands of its true owner when called. The Dagda had sexual intercourse with Morrigan while she straddled the river Unius, she gave him a plan for victory against the Formorians in exchange for his lovemaking.

Cú Chulainn
The story of the Celtic hero Cúchulainn is one of the best loved in Irish mythology (that's mostly because it involves hurling - ed.), and he is second only to the mighty Fionn MacCumhail in the esteem in which he is held. Cú Chulainn was the hero of the Táin , the central epic of Irish history, and a statue of him graces the GPO in Dublin. But he wasn't always called Cú Chulainn. As a whippersnapper, this hero in waiting was a nephew to King Conchobar (Conor) of Ulster , founder of the Red Branch Knights , and was called Setanta
One day the King and his entourage were out on a tour of Ulster (probably to see the sights, but holidayhound wasn't around back then so it wasn't as easy for him as it will be for you...) when he came across a group of young trainee knights playing hurling. The king decided to stay back a while and watch the group, and gradually it dawned on him that there was something odd going on. As he watched more closely it became apparent that the whole field was ranged against just one boy, a tall strapping blonde youth. Not only that, but they were losing pathetically. He fired puck after puck past the defending line allayed against him, and was thrashing them as if they were little girls. Subsequently, the jealous youngsters tried to gang up on Setanta, and were soon made very, very sorry they did.

Dates in Irish Myth and Legend
This is part of the chronology of the legendary prehistory and history of Ireland, mainly from the Lebor Gab?la (literally "The Book of Takings"), The Annals of the Four Masters (17th century), The Annals of Ulster, The Annals of Clonmacnoise, The Annals of Tigernach, and Chronicum Scotorum. 3339 BC (AM 1859 – anno mundi; i.e., 1859 years after the Creation) Destruction of the Tower of Babel 3330 BC "In this year Fenius composed the language of the Gaeidhel from seventy-two languages, and subsequently committed it to Gaeidhel, son of Agnoman." (Annals of Tigernach) "[The poets] asked the philosopher (Fenius) to choose for them from the many languages a language that no one else would have but which would be theirs alone; and so the Chosen Language was invented for them ... Question, why is Gaedilg [the Irish language] called the chosen language? Not difficult! Because it was culled out of every language; and every hyperdark sound in every language, a place was found for it in Irish since it has a capacity beyond every language." (John Minahane's translation from the Auraicept na n-?ces, from his book The Christian Druids.)
