#Celtic #MythologyMonday: #Diancecht had inserted a prosthesis of silver for #Nuada's severed arm, but a black beetle lived in it, causing the king terrible pain by nibbling at his wound. With the help of his sister #Airmed, #Miach was able to grow him a new arm. But Diancecht then killed his son out of jealousy and buried him in the ground. From #Miach's grave, however, 365 different medicinal herbs grew through #Airmed's tears, which she named and saved. When #Diancecht found out, he mixed them all up so that their powers were lost. Only #Airmed knew them and knew how to use them.
