  1. #Celtic #MythologyMonday: Following the defeat of the Fomorians by the Tuatha Dé Danann in the Second Battle of Mag Tuired, #Badb sings a prophecy celebrating the victory and a time of peace:
    „Peace up to heaven.
    Heaven down to earth.
    Earth beneath heaven,
    Strength in each,
    A cup very full,
    Full of honey;
    Mead in abundance.
    Summer in winter...“

  2. `Ravens and crows were linked to war goddesses like the #Irish Mórrígan and #Badb, who were said to take the form of the birds when encouraging bloodshed.
    At the same time, the birds were seen as oracular. As a symbol of the #Otherworld, the raven could indicate rebirth as well as death; thus the birds’s meaning is far from simple and can seem self-contradictory.`
