#FolkloreSunday: `On #Beltane #Lugh appeared dressed in a purple fringed cloak, a gold embroidered petticoat and shoes of white bronze to the great king of #Ireland, #Cormac. The son of Conn received from the great, shining, gray-haired warrior from the #Celtic #Otherworld a silver apple branch with three golden apples from #Emain's tree, whose branches are of the most beautiful silver and its blossoms are glass eyelashes. „It was the highest pleasure and boon at the same time to hear the music emanating from the branch, as it put to sleep the severely injured, the sick, and those in childbed when the branch was shaken a little“.`

#BookologyThursday: `Seven months High King #Cormac had gone out from Tara to search for his wife and children. He followed their path into a misty, unfamiliar land. This was the #Otherworld, a place of beautiful meadows, woods filled with singing birds, and flowers he’d never seen before. He encountered #Manannan and Fand in a grand Dún, where he was invited to stay for the night.
In the Dún, Cormac was presented with the magical cup of Manannan. This cup would break when a lie was spoken and would only get whole again when a truth was told.
Cormac was reunited with his family. The joy of their reunion was immense, and they returned to their people, bringing with them Manannan‘s treasures: the bell-branch and the magical cup and the cloth of gold that had covered the table where they sat in the palace of Manannan.`

#Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: High King Art mac Cuinn had a one night stand with Achtan, daughter of a druid/smith named Olc Acha. One night, however, as Achtan slept, exhausted from her day’s travelling, her infant, #Cormac mac Airt, was stolen by a she-wolf and raised alongside her cubs.

„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 #FairyTaleTuesday: As an infant #Cormac mac Airt was suckled by a she-wolf. In his time as the rightful High King of #Ireland salmon practically leapt out of the rivers, the land was heavy with grain, and the cows gave so much milk there were not enough pails to hold it.

#Celtic #FairyTaleTuesday: After having been suckled and raised by a she-wolf alongside her cubs, #Cormac mac Airt was found by a hunter, healthy and well, and duly returned to his mother Achtan. He grew to manhood in the home of Fiachrae Cassán, and it was not until the age of thirty that he decided to challenge Lugaid for the Kingship.

X (formerly Twitter)Bard Mythologies (@BardMythologies) on XDid you know? ✨ Cormac Mac Airt was a mythical high king of #Ireland and one of the most celebrated kings in #Irish tradition.  "Ulfhada" - meaning "longbearded" was the epithet he was sometimes given, because of his wisdom.

Listening to #The #Crossing by #Cormac #McCarthy, which I don't think I have read before. Most authors don't kill off characters which they spent lots of time creating. At the moment I'm really scared that one of these boys is not going to make it to the end of the story. I also had to skip over the part where the wolf was captured. That was too difficult to read. But amazing author. I need to go back and listen/read others he wrote.
