#Fionn Mac Cumhaill was raised in secret in the forests of the #SliabhBloomMountains by his #druidess aunt, Bodhmall, and warrior woman #Liath Luachra. Liath Luachra means ‘Gray of Luachair’, but there is very little known about her, other than that she taught Fionn how to hunt and fight, both skills for which he was renowned and unmatched. Clearly, she did a good job.“

#Fionn Mac Cumhaill met a huge guy in a dark forest, with legs like ship masts and nail shoes like boats. #ManannanMacLir had transformed and wrapped himself entirely in a gray cloak splattered with several pounds of dirt. After a victorious race of 90 miles, he made himself a preliminary form of muesli from berries and grain.

commemorating #InternationalWomensDay: „#Irish mythology is liberally sprinkled with tales of the deeds of female #druids: Biróg is a #druidess who, in one version of the myth, was involved in saving the baby #Lugh from being drowned by his grandfather, Balor. #Tlachtga was the daughter of Mog Ruith, a powerful blind sorcerer, associated with the Hill of Ward and the November 1st fire festival of Samhain. #Bé Chuille was a Danann druidess who was involved in the defeat of Carman, the Celtic witch. Queen Medb was warned by the Danann druidess and seer, #Fedelma, of the defeat of her army.“

Isn`t it interesting that #Ireland’s two most legendary heroes, were both taught their warrior skills by women? #FinnMacCool was raised in secret in the forests of the #SliabhBloomMountains by his #druidess aunt, Bodhmall, and warrior woman, Liath Luachra. When Bodhmall had taught him all the druid lore she knew, Fionn continued his studies with the Druid Finegas on the banks of the River Boyne. Liath Luachra means ‘Gray of Luachair’, but there is very little known about her, other than that she taught Fionn how to hunt and fight, both skills for which he was renowned and unmatched. Clearly, she did a good job.“
