#Celtic #Mythology: Fingein mac Luchta appeared regularly at #Samhain the fairy Rothniam and prophesied him the most important events of the following year. Fingein served Conn Cétchathach for 50 years as a loyal follower and finally died for him in battle.

#Art found a boat in Inber Colptha, the Boyne Estuary, and like his father #Conn, drifted from island to island in the #Otherworld. All of them were full of multicolored birds and blossoming apple trees. But the largest one was also home to crowds of beautiful women and young girls. He had landed in Tír na mBan.

The Island of Avalon, Ynys Afallon in Welsh, is named for its famed apple trees. Associated with the Otherworld, tales of apple islands are found in several Celtic cultures, including Ireland's Emain Ablach. Apple, quert, is the 10th letter of the tree ogham. #MythologyMonday

So sad for #Conn of the Hundred Battles! Not even his druid #Coran could prevent his son from being dominated day and night solely by the thought of the beautiful woman from the #Otherworld. Finally #Connla jumped into her glass boat. His father would never see him again.

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney #HowthHead is associated with #Conn of the Hundred Battles. This #Irish highking had lost his beloved wife Eithne. His son, Connla, had been taken away by a beautiful woman of the Sídh many years before and he found no comfort in the company of Art the Lone One, his other son. Here, at the Sidh of Beann Éadair, he met Bécuma of the Sídh and it was here, where he found her coracle and went away over the sea, returning after many months from a magic island with Segda, the child of a sinless couple.

A high-born, beautiful young woman, subject to neither ageing nor death, had approached #Conle. His father, #Conn of the Hundred Battles, could not see the woman from the #Otherworld. So he told his #druid #Coran to intervene with magic chants.
The #fairy maiden could not resist the magic chants of the druid #Coran. She had to go. But before that she tossed #Connla an apple from the #Otherworld. For a month the prince lived on it alone. But it didn't get any smaller, but remained round and shiny.
The magic spells of the druid #Coran couldn't prevent #Connla from being dominated day & night solely by the thought of the beautiful woman from the #Otherworld. Finally he jumped into her glass boat. He never was seen again.
