#FolkloreSunday: The #Eravisci were a #Celtic tribe in present-day Hungary (Transdanubia). Their oppidum on the Gellértberg in today`s Budapest was never conquered by the Romans.
A Juppiter Teutanus is known as their tribal god from Roman times. Several inscriptions between the years 178 and 288 AD are dated to 11 June, a few days before the #SummerSolstice, probably the date on which the Celtic god was celebrated.

The three god-doctors Diancécht and his two sons Òc-Tríal and Míach, as well as Diancécht's daughter Airmed, had cast their spells over Tobar Sláine (Well of Health), the life spring of the #TuathaDèDanann. Their magic was so powerful that the injured of the Second Battle of #Moytura and even the dead were restored in the spring.

#Celtic #FolkloreThursday: Brân Vendigeit 'the Blessed' had taken a cauldron from a pair of #Irish demons, which they had brought from the #Otherworld. If one lit a fire under it and filled it in the evening with the corpses of the slain, they were revived the next morning, only that they lacked the ability to speak.

Happy Beltane! Ein Rant...

Im Laufe der Christianisierung Nordwesteuropas in den ersten Jahrhunderten unserer Zeitrechnung wurden viele keltische (sogenannte "heidnische") Jahresfeste einfach beibehalten und mit einer christlichen Bedeutung versehen. Das war praktisch, konnte man doch das Christentum so ohne grosse Widerstände etablieren. Zum Beispiel wurde aus Samhain, dem Totenfest, jetzt Allerheiligen. Aus Yule, dem Fest der Wintersonnwende wurde jetzt Weihnachten. Aus Ostara, dem Fest der Frühlingstagundnachtgleiche wurde jetzt - Überraschung - Ostern, usw.

Beltane, die Nacht zum 1. Mai, (die "Walpurgisnacht", heute nacht!) ist das einzige keltische Fest, dass das Christentum nicht übernommen hat. Warum?

At the sight of #CúChulainn in his paroxysm it is said that once a hundred of Medb's warriors fell dead from horror. A part of his rage distortion presented itself thus: `There were seen the lights of #Bodb and the rain clouds of venom and the sparks of red fire in the clouds and in vapors above his head, from the boiling of the truly fierce anger that had risen in the air above him.`

Kennt ihr Flops-karte? Ein ehemaliger Kollege (iR) hat damit erstaunlich Dinge zu Tage gefördert.
Seine Passion sind die keltischen Kultstätten und die daraus entstandenen christlichen Gotteshäuser.
In sehr vielen Fällen konnte er nachweisen, dass diese nach geometrischen Regeln geordnet sind.
