#Celtic #Mythology: At Mac #DathĂł feast #Cet of the #Connacht men withdrew his claim to the hero's portion of the meat saying, `If my brother, #AnlĂșan, was here, you would not be getting the #curadmir, for he is the better warrior.` #Conall Cernach from #Ulster replied, `But he is here!â and pulled AnlĂșanâs head from his belt and threw it at Cet so hard, he was splattered with his brotherâs blood.

King Chonchobar Mac Nessa was able to stop the fight between #Loegaire, #Conall Cernach and #CuChulainn at #Bricriu's banquet. #Sencha the Wise advised to appoint #Medb and #Ailill as arbiters. Only these kings were able to divide the hero's bite in such a way that no new dispute broke out for the time being.

Oweynagat (cave of the cats) is located in Rathcroghan Royal Complex of North Co. Roscommon Ireland
Oweynagat may come from the magical wildcats featured in "Bricriu's Feast" that emerge from the cave to attack 3 Ulster warriors before being tamed by CĂșchulainn.

Some weird creatures emerged from #Oweynagat, the cave of the cats: the `Magic Kittens of CrĂșachan` (demonic cat monsters), which frightened the heroes #Loegaire Buadach and #Conall Cernach to flee into the rafters; AillĂ©n Trechenn was a triple-headed monster that ravaged the countryside until it was killed by the hero Amergin; red birds caused anything they came in contact with to whither; herds of pigs with similar decaying powers, which Ailill and Medb themselves desperately tried to hunt down, but having to deal with the pigs' power of vanishing and their ability to shed captured flesh

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney at #Rathcroghan: 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 https://twitter.com/NeuKelte/status/1552980575534948357

I have never slept without a head of a Connachtman under my knee!`, said the #Ulster hero #Conall Cernach, âvictorious Conall.â He appears in several texts, in which he performs amazing feats like swallowing a boar whole. He killed many men, often brutally. He was the only warrior to survive the holocaust at the hostel of Da Derga, where his king Conaire was killed.

Demonic cat monsters emerged from #Uaimh na gCat, the 'Cave of Cats', in Rathcroghan, Co. Roscommon. King #Ailill made sure these horrid otherworldly creatures found their way into the lodgings of the heroes of #Ulster who stayed with him.

#Cuchulainn was unwilling to flee from the beasts of the 'cave of cats'. He sat unperturbed. And every time the beast tried to get his food, he hit it on the head. But it seemed to be made of stone, which is why the sword slipped off. So he couldn't eat or sleep the whole night.
