Generally, the #druid #Mide is associated with lighting the great fire on the #HillOfUisneach, Co. #Westmeath. Another legend credits the igniting of the #Uisneach fire to the #druid #Delbáeth, from whose blaze 5 great points of light streamed forth.

„The ancient peoples of #Ireland celebrated their major festivals with fire. Is this in honour of their sun Gods and Goddesses? According to the Lebor Gabála Érenn, an ancient manuscript detailing Ireland’s waves of invaders, the first #Bealtaine fire was lit on the Hill of #Uisneach by the Nemedian #Druid, #Mide. Although ‘Druidical rituals’ were said to have taken place, there is no mention of sun-god worship.“
