Today's issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out: Cellach & Muiredach (AKA Cúchongeilt) - The Divided Divine Twins of Killala.
These two are as close as #IrishLegends come to the Asvins or Dioscuri. These brothers¹ represent possibly the most popular God in international mythology, the God whose incarnations and hypostases form the protagonists for probably half of all Epic literature.
They come in two *main* flavours, and the story of Cellach & Muiredach gives us both. While they are not, I thimk, *direct* parallels of Aengus Mac Óg & Cúchulainn, they come of the same essence and demonstrate my modelling of these two iconic characters as parts of a unified essence.
