#Celtic #MythologyMonday: #Brigid is according to Patricia Monaghan ("The Red-Haired Girl From The Bog") more a title than a name. The "Sublime" is a tribute to the great mother goddess, who was also worshipped elsewhere as #Eithne, #Dana & ev. #Sul. She was the central figure of the gods in the period of matriarchy, which ended in the #IronAge. And she is still today the bridge (English bridge is derived from Brigid) between the ancient faith & Christianity: here as a goddess, there as a saint.

#Cian had the task of tending the magic cow of the blacksmith Gaivnin Gow. She moved so fast and so far that it was no wonder that Cian eventually became inattentive and took a nap. When he awoke, the #GlasGhaibhleann had disappeared. Cian had to travel to the realm of #Balor of the Evil Eye. The monstrous #Fomorian king set him impossible tasks to get the cow back. There, however, #Cian seduced Balor's beautiful daughter #Eithne and begat #Lugh. Finally, Cian returned the #GlasGhaibhleann to the blacksmith.
