#Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: `In #Ireland the most mythologically significant cave was #Oweynagat. Within it, the great cauldron of abundance, once kept at Tara but later returned hither, was stored.
To us #Oweynagat seems only a dingy cave, but it is a great palace in the #Otherworld and one of the three main entrances to it in #Ireland.`

#Celtic #WyrdWednesday: There were portals or gates between the worlds like #Oweynagat through which the fairy folk came forth and through which humans could pass to visit them. `However, for most people, the passage was one way, for it was rare for humans to return from fairyland— although they might return so far distant in time or place that they found nothing familiar to greet them.`

When the sun sat at the horizon, it was the point in #mythic time when the #Mórrígan drove her cattle back into #Oweynagat. Every night at sunset they entered the #Otherworld through the souterrain entrance of this cave.

Once the sound of a gigantic voice issuing from the tiny opening of the cave called #Oweynagat, the cave of cats, frightened away the heroine or goddess Erne and a group of maidens from Cruachan, the great capital of the province of #Connacht. `Taking with her the comb (symbol of feminine potency) of her mistress, the great queen #Medb, Erne took her party northward to a lake in which they all drowned.` This is how the river Erne (an Éirne in Modern #Irish) and the lake from which it rises gained their names.

At the river #Barrow in #Leinster the #Irish god of healing, DIAN CÉCHT, was slaying a serpent and burned her to ash who would otherwise have devoured all the cattle in #Ireland.
There may be a hidden seasonal myth in this stories, with the serpent representing the winter goddess who gives way to her double, the blooming spring. Source: P. Monaghan `Encyclopedia of #Celtic #Mythology and #Folklore
