„#Brehon Law, which as we know was certainly very forward thinking for its time, protected living trees and levied hefty fines on those found to be unlawfully chopping them down. It classified trees into four categories, each containing a list of seven trees:
1. Chieftain trees, such as the oak, hazel, holly, yew, ash, scots pine and wild apple.
2. Peasant trees, such as the hawthorn, alder, willow, rowan, birch, elm and wild cherry.
3. Shrubs, such as blackthorn, juniper, whitebeam, aspen, spindle-tree, strawberry tree and eldar.
4. Bushes, such as bracken, gorse, blackberry, heather, bog myrtle, broom and dog rose.
The punishment for illegally felling a chieftain tree was three cows. In ancient times, cattle were a measure of wealth, and used in place of currency. To cut down a peasant tree would result in a fine of only one cow.“

#introduction time…
I’m an #aussie who is keenly interested in #politics #auspol #uspol. I’m a #pagan #atheist #brehon with a raging #anxietydisorder #anxiety and used to use the bird site to scream into the void which did my mental health no end of good. I love #hiking and #fitness and tend to rescue stray animals. My best friends are on social media and I legitimately struggle with that. I’ve met some wonderful people on the bird site and I hope the all make it here…

But now enjoying #Brehon #imperialStout in Bierhaus Galway. Looking forward to their #stoutHaus event next week.
