#Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: #Grainne, the daughter of the High King of #Ireland, #Cormac mac Art, had agreed to marry #Fionn Mac Cumhail. After first setting eyes on her groom, an old gray-haired hero, she forced #Diarmaid by means of géis to flee with her. The spurned groom then chased them all over #Ireland.

„From the three daughters of Airitech whom were said to be werewolves, to the goddess The #Mórrígan whom was said to have taken on the form of a red wolf during her battle with #CúChulainn. #Cormac mac Airt the legendary high king of Ireland whom ruled during the time of #Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna was said to have been raised by wolves and could communicate with them. Legend says that four wolves would accompany him in his rebellion against Lugaid mac Con, and that he was accompanied by them until the end of his life.“ #Celtic

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: I would love #Loegaire Buadach, #Cet of the #Connacht men, #Anlúan, #Conall Cernach, #CúChulainn, #Fergus mac Róich and #Fionn Mac Cumhaill with his #Fianna to help #Boudicca and her #Iceni, repel the Roman invasion of Britain.

#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.`
