#MythologyMonday: #Milucra bewitched a lake near the summit of #SlieveGullion and tricked #Fionn Mac Cumhaill into swimming in it. He emerged silver-haired, aged and bent. The #Fianna, captured the #fairy and forced her to give their leader a restorative potion from her golden Cornucopia, but in doing so she made sure his hair remained silver. Some texts say it was the #Irish hero Cuilenn who came to Fionn’s rescue by offering him a drink from a golden cup, which also endowed the hero with wisdom.

Deceived by the splendid sight of Midac`s palace that was surrounded by magical rowan trees, #FinnMacCool entered and made himself comfortable in the grand banquet hall. Midac came in, stared at them, and departed without a word. It was then that Fionn and his warriors realized that a trap had been set. They had been deceived by a glamour and were really being held hostage in a crude shack. One after another of the #Fianna warriors came to their rescue, with Diarmait finally lopping off Midac’s head.

`Ambitious to join the #Fianna, #Abarta came to them pretending to be a lazy man in search of a job. #Fionn Mac Cumhaill inexplicably agreed to take him into service, calling him Gialla Deacair, or “lazy servant.” Abarta tricked Fianna into mounting his apparently frail old horse and carried them away to the #Otherworld. There he held them hostage until Fionn, after many magical adventures and battles, located and freed them. After this crime, Fionn did not offer Abarta membership in his band.`

The #Fianna had repelled a Viking invasion and slain their leader, Colga. Instead of killing his son Midac also as an enemy, #Fionn Mac Cumhaill bestowed upon the young man cattle, servants and rich lands in counties Limerick and Clare, so that he would want for nothing. For 14 years, Midac lived peacefully enough near the bright waters of the Shannon.

The wizard Abarta had turned himself into the thick-lipped #Fomorian `Giolla Deacair`. The walking mountain from the #Otherworld had long, yellow teeth and tufts of hair on his face. Only his horse surpassed him in ugliness, but had room on its back for 15 warriors of the #Fianna of #FinnMacCool.

In Irish mythology, Abhartach was a cruel tyrant dwarf who was slain by Fionn Mac Cumhail. After his burial, he returned from the dead to drink the blood of the living. Some say he is the true origin of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. #FolkloreThursday

The hero #FinnMacCool and his warrior band, the #Fianna, killed #Dryantore’s three sons as well as the husband of his sister #Ailna. This giant then set out to punish the murderers. After snaring them in a #druid`s fog that Ailna created, Dryantore captured Fionn Mac Cumhaill and his harper, the sweet-singing Dáire, and imprisoned them in his #Otherworld palace. The rest of the warriors found and freed them, and Dryantore was killed in the ensuing battle.

#Celtic #Mythology: Goll (“the one-eyed”) mac Morna was the traditional enemy of the great #Irish hero #FinnMacCool. Ultimately driven to the edge of #Ireland, Goll lived without food or water for 30 days, becoming wild with despair and hunger before dying at the hands of a minor member of the #Fianna, Mac Smaile. Goll’s death did not end the feud, which continued until the Fianna was finally overcome at the battle of Gabhair. Some legends say that after his death Goll found a new home in one of the magical islands of the western sea, on whose shores he had met his doom.

Goll Mac Morna from the Fionn MacCumhaill graphic novel. About the eye... It was main character Fionn’s dad, Cumhaill. Goll lost an eye in the fight but got control of the Fianna - the group of the land’s most incredible warrior poets - from Cumhaill. Cumhaill lost his life.

#FinnMacCool and the Fianna came upon the mouth of the #CavesOfKesh, before which sat three hags of evil and revolting aspect. Drewing near they found themselves suddenly entangled in strands of the yarn which the hags had spun about the place like the web of a spider, and deadly faintness and trembling came over them, so that they were easily bound fast by the hags and carried into the dark recesses of the cave.

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: In order not to let the enchanted pigs of #AngusOg come back to life, they were to be burned over a fire, otherwise they would have fought the #Fianna again the next day. At first the attempt failed. Eventually Bran, the #Otherworldly hound of #FinnMacCool, fetched three logs (three types of wood that could combat enchantments) and the pigs were burned on the fire from these logs. Then there was a great sorrow on Angus, for the pigs had been his people, one of them his own son.”
