  1. #Celtic #FolkloreThursday: „Some think #Tlachtga may have been one of the Tuatha de Danann, others that she was a solar deity on account of her connection with Mogh Ruith. Simon Magus‘ three sons raped Tlachtga. She fled back to Ireland, where in time she gave birth to three sons on the Hill of Tlachtga. It was a long and difficult delivery during which all her energy ebbed. She was buried where she died, and the area took her name. Her sons were Doirb, Cuma and Muach, and one of the older versions of the story says they went on to rule the provinces of #Munster, #Leinster and #Connacht, and that while their names were remembered, no harm would ever come to #Eire.“
