#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: „Some schools of thought perceive #Amergin and #Donn of the Milesians as divine twins in some kind of pagan creation story. As a poet, Amergin is seen as the child of light and inspiration, while Donn, who died on board before the battle for #Ireland had even commenced, is thought to be the self-sacrificing dark lord of the dead.“ This is an example for the #Celtic belief in the power of twins.

At #Beltane, the #Milesians landed as the 6th immigrant group in #Ireland. They bowed to the Danann kings and retreated 9 waves off the island to land now `officially`. The #druids sent spells towards the #Milesians, unleashing a hurricane.
However, the mighty #druid #Amergin made sure that the wild storm collapsed.

„In #Irish #mythology, the #Otherworld islands, said to be #Manannán’s home, lie ‘beyond the ninth wave’. The ninth wave is said to be greater than any other wave before it, and is also known as the ‘Wave of Transformation’.
The Tuatha de Danann attempted to protect #Ireland from the attack of the invading Milesians by shrouding the land in fog and storms. They ordered the Milesians to go back beyond the ninth wave but the poet #Amergin countered the Danann magic, and breached the spell; supposedly, it was the ninth wave itself which broke through.
The Imramma is a sacred sea voyage in Irish mythology which takes the traveller beyond the ninth wave in search of the magical Otherworld and the Gods which inhabit it. In this way, we can see that the voyage is more a spiritual journey than a physical one, the wave of transformation perhaps bringing with it the wisdom and knowledge we all ultimately seek.“

After claiming unity with the land by reciting 'The Song of #Amergin' - Amergin, son of Míl, sang an Invocation praising the land. Just like a woman or man, the land wishes to be married to those who praise & love it. To be obsessed with foreign affairs is to neglect this spouse.
