`When #Cormac mac Art arrived at #Tara, he came across a man consoling a weeping woman. The man told him that the High King had confiscated her sheep because they had strayed into the Queen’s garden and eaten her herbs. Apparently, Cormac claimed “More fitting would be one shearing for the other,” meaning the sheep’s fleeces should be forfeit in payment for the ruined crops, as both the plants and the wool would grow again.` #Celtic

#Celtic #FolkloreSunday: `Some say that #Lugaid abdicated the throne, declaring #Cormac mac Art to be wiser than himself; some say he was driven out by Cormac in battle, and still others say he was warned by his #druids if he did not leave #Tara within six months he would die. In any case, Cormac became the next High King.`

#Grainne, the daughter of the High King of #Ireland, #Cormac mac Art, had agreed to marry #Fionn Mac Cumhaill. After first setting eyes on her groom, an old gray-haired hero, #Grainne forced #Diarmaid by means of géis to flee with her. They went on the run so they could escape Fionn’s wrath and be together, never sleeping more than a night in one place. After sixteen years of outlawry peace was at last made for #Diarmaid by the mediation of #Aonghus Óg with King Cormac and with Fionn. #Grainne bore to #Diarmaid four sons and a daughter.
While hunting, the Boar of Ben Bulben mortally wounded #Diarmaid. Fionn would have had the ability to save his former captain and friend, but hesitated until Diarmaid was dead.
#Grainne was at first enraged with Fionn, and sent her sons abroad to learn feats of arms, so that they may take vengeance upon him when the time would be ripe. But despite everything #Grainne made peace between Fionn and her sons, and dwelt with Fionn as his wife until he died.

#Celtic #Mythology: On #Beltane #Lugh gives the great king of #Ireland, #Cormac, a silver apple branch with three golden apples from #Emain's tree. `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.`

In #Irish mythology, the Aobharr of Manannán was a magic horse that belonged to the god Lugh. It was quicker than the "naked cold wind of spring", and could travel over land or sea. Whoever rode on its back could not be killed.
#FairyTaleTuesday #Horses #Folklore

On #Beltane #Lugh appears 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 receives 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.`
