  1. Tried making a Milk #Macha without ice, didn't get those cool swirls of Macha/milk though that ice cubes creates. Added a bit of sugar to it top and it tasted rather good.

  2. #Celtic #FolkloreThursday: `The Curse of #Macha is a tragic story. Macha, the daughter of Aodh Ruad, was forced to run a race against the King of #Ulster’s chariot horses, even though she was heavily pregnant. She won the race, but went into labour and collapsed on the finish line, where she gave birth to twin sons, Fedach and Fomfor.
    Most versions of the story claim that she died. Another version of the story I came across recently, however, claims that after giving birth and making her curse, Macha went on to rule as High Queen of #Ireland for twenty five years of glory and prosperity. The place where she built her home is still known as #Emain Macha, which means ‘twins of Macha’, although it also known by the more modern name of Navan Fort.`

  4. Dear Friends of the Urban garden/farm, 🦞

    My nearest Animal Farm is a
    #walkaway. What about urban #wind and #solar farms for our #high-rises, small garden #spaces, #roofs and other useful #sustainability? 🍀

    What about indoor real
    #light for #greening our #interiors? 🥗

    Indoor
    #ponds? #Herbs and #spice #supplemental #home-grown #medicine? 🕊️

    All these
    #opportunities with those having the #will and the #way for.

    For example
    #yesterday:

    - My
    #morning #macha #tea was #flavoured with a garden #lemon mint
    - Our salad dressing contained thyme and
    #sage from garden #pot-herbs
    - Our fruit pudding had 'strawberry mint' on it
    ❤️

  5. #Celtic #MythologyMonday: When her travail seized the horse goddesses #Macha all the spectators felt themselves seized with pangs like her own and had no more strength than a woman in her travail. And Macha prophesied: `From this hour the shame you have wrought on me will fall upon each man of #Ulster. In the hours of your greatest need ye shall be weak and helpless as women in childbirth.` And so it came to pass.“

  6. `In #Irish #mythology, many characters had particular animals they were associated with. Ulster’s hero, #CúChulainn, had two special horses which pulled his chariot. Their names were Liath Macha, meaning the ‘grey of Macha’, and Dub Sainglend, the ‘black of Saingliu’. They were said to have emerged from the pool of Linn Liaith in the mountains of Sliabh Fuaid as a gift from the goddess, #Macha. This association with water clearly indicates their Otherworldly origin. Cuchulainn leaped onto their backs and rode them around the whole of Ireland in just one day, after which they were tamed.`
