  5. #Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: `#Tara was once reigned by a Wolf King. According to legend, #Cormac mac Art was the High King of Ireland at the same time as #Fionn mac Cumhaill was the leader of the #Fianna, c. the third century AD. He ruled from Tara for forty years, and during his reign, all of #Ireland flourished.`

  6. `Conan mac Morna was regarded as the jester of the #Fianna Eireann, and no matter how rude and scoffing his speeches were, no one heeded them.` #Celtic

  7. #FairyTaleTuesday: Deceived by the splendid sight of Midac`s palace that was surrounded by magical rowan trees, #Fionn Mac Cumhaill entered and made himself comfortable in the grand banquet hall. Midac came in, stared at them, and departed without a word. It was then that Fionn and his warriors realized that a trap had been set. They had been deceived by a glamour and were really being held hostage in a crude shack. One after another of the #Fianna warriors came to their rescue, with Diarmait finally lopping off Midac’s head.

  8. Goll (“the one-eyed”) mac Morna was the traditional enemy of the great #Irish hero #Fionn mac Cumhaill. Ultimately driven to the edge of #Ireland, Goll lived without food or water for 30 days, becoming wild with despair and hunger before dying at the hands of a minor member of the #Fianna, Mac Smaile. Goll’s death did not end the feud, which continued until the Fianna was finally overcome at the battle of Gabhair. Some legends say that after his death Goll found a new home in one of the magical islands of the western sea, on whose shores he had met his doom.

  9. #Celtic #LegendaryWednesday: In the #CavesOfKesh powerful hags or goddesses, Camóg, Cuilleann and Iornach, described as members of the #TuathaDeDannan, held the great hero #Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the rest of the #Fianna captive. They were set to take revenge on Fionn on behalf of their father, who hated to see the wild things of his woods disturbed by the hunting of the Fianna.
    Fionn’s archenemy Goll mac Morna rescued them. He was cleverer and experienced enough to not put one toe beyond the holly bush at the entrance to the enchanted place. He challenged the hags to battle and slaughtered them finally. Goll mac Morna was rewarded with the marriage to Fionn`s daughter Sgannlach.

  10. #Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: `Airitech had three daughters who were werewolves. Every #Samhain, they emerged from the Cave of Cruachan, said to be a gateway to the #Otherworld, to kill sheep. They liked music, so the poet Cas Corach played his harp to distract them, and persuaded them to change back into their human form. Caoilte, a warrior of the #Fianna, then cast a spear that penetrated all three at once, and so they were killed.`

  11. #FairyTaleTuesday: #Milucra bewitched a lake near the summit of #SlieveGullion and tricked #Fionn Mac Cumhaill into swimming in it. He emerged silver-haired, aged and bent. The #Fianna, captured the #fairy and forced her to give their leader a restorative potion from her golden Cornucopia, but in doing so she made sure his hair remained silver. Some texts say it was the #Irish hero Cuilenn who came to Fionn’s rescue by offering him a drink from a golden cup, which also endowed the hero with wisdom.

  13. #Celtic #MythologyMonday: In order not to let the enchanted pigs of #AngusOg come back to life, they were to be burned over a fire, otherwise they would have fought the #Fianna again the next day. At first the attempt failed. Eventually Bran, the #Otherworld hound of #Fionn Mac Cumhaill, fetched three logs (three types of wood that could combat enchantments) and the pigs were burned on the fire from these logs. Then there was a great sorrow on Angus, for the pigs had been his people, one of them his own son.” socrates.freeshell.org/Animals

  20. #Celtic #FolkloreSunday: `#Cormac mac Art elevated #Fionn mac Cumhaill to Leader of the #Fianna as a reward for saving his court from attack by the fire-breathing Sidhe-Prince, Aillen mac Midhna.
    The Fianna were a roving war-band of elite warriors, created to protect the High King and the people of #Ireland. At their head, Fionn went on to great success, and had many adventures with his Fianna. (If you want to know more, google ‘The Fenian Cycle’.)
    Eventually, however, Fionn’s arrogance and high fees caused him to fall foul of the new High King, Cairpre, and they went to war against each other. It was to be Fionn’s last battle.`
