#LegendaryWednesday: The #TuathaDéDanann `refined the art of brewing until the ale of their smith and brewer #Goibniu was strong enough to endow the drinker with immortality. #Irish epics connect ale with #Samhain, the #Celtic festival, when the boundaries between this world and the #Otherworld were blurred.`

Ruadán was the son of Bres, the half-Fomorian king of the #TuathaDéDanann, the people of his mother #Brigit. Before the second battle of Mag Tuired, Ruadán -siding with his father-came to spy upon the smith Goibniu and steal his magical secrets. Goibniu killed the lad, which caused his mother to invent the wild sound of keening to express her grief. For himself, Goibniu was able to heal his wounds by traveling to the sacred well on Slane Hill.

The Fomorian Octriallach was a spy who learned the secrets of the Fomorians’ opponents, the #TuathaDéDanann. „Diancécht, the Tuatha Dé physician, bathed their wounded in the magical well of Slaine, which healed all their wounds (it could not, however, reconnect amputated limbs or heads). When he discovered this, Octriallach decommissioned the well by filling it with stones (thus creating the #HeapstownCairn), whereupon he was killed by Ogma, the god of eloquence.

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney: The Heapstown Cairn is most impressive, being the largest Cairn in #Ireland outside of the Boyne Valley. Bigger than a two-story house, this Neolithic cairn incorporates thousands of stones. Originally it was much larger than its present size as

Cethlion of the Crooked Teeth was the queen of the ancient #Irish race called the #Fomorians. The wife of Balor was a prophet who foresaw her people’s defeat at the hands of the invading #TuathaDéDanann at the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. This foreknowledge did not stop her from waging a fierce battle in which she wounded or killed one of the chiefs of her enemies, the Dagda.

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: Abarta, a wizard of the #TuathaDéDanann, 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.

#Celtic #LegendaryWednesday: The Crane Bag made by #Manannán is a thing of great power and enchantment. It holds the secret things of the #TuathaDéDanann: the bones of the sacred boar, the smith`s hook and the magical knife, shield and shirt. Whoever has these weapons is safe from all enemies.

#Celtic #Mythology: At #Beltane, the #Milesians landed as the 6th immigrant group in #Ireland. They bowed to the #TuathaDéDanann kings and retreated 9 waves off the island to land this time `officially`. The #druids now sent spells towards the #Milesians, unleashing a hurricane.
However, the mighty #druid #Amergin made sure that the wild storm collapsed.

#Ogma mac Elathan, son of Delbaeth, is according to #Irish tradition the inventor of the #Ogam script. This `Son of Art` was not only extremely famous in the art of speech and poetry, but also an athletic `trénḟer`, a `power man`. In the battle of #MagTuired he fought on the side of the #TuathaDéDanann against #Bres and his #Fomorians.

#Nuada, king of the #TuathaDéDanann when they first came to #Ireland, lost his arm in the first battle of #MagTuired and hence, he lost the kingship. #Credne, the #Celtic bronze smith, made a prosthesis of silver, which #Diancecht so skilfully attached that #Nuada had a fully functional arm again. Hence he was called Nuada Argat-lamh, of the Silver Hand, for ever after.
