#Celtic #HillfortsWednesday at Cathair Crobh Dearg, Co. #Kerry: Dan Cronin writes in his book “In the Shadow of the Paps, 2001”: “#Druidic rituals were enacted at The City, up to the time when we were Christianized. It is possible that it was here at The City that the last stand of Irish paganism was made against the advancing forces of Christianity. In that far distant age this area was a great stronghold of pagan die-hards who flourished under The Paps at Cathair Crobh Dearg. …
To Cathair Crobh Dearg is left a legacy of a religious nature, unique and strange, to this day. Right down through the ages, through #Druidism and Paganism and through many mutations of human searching, religious ceremonies have been enacted on this barren windswept site. This chain of events has remained vibrant and alive – one of our cherished last remaining links with those days long past.”

#Celtic #MythologyMonday: I would like to change the Tain Bó Cuailgne! #CúChulainn would still have to kill his foster brother to preserve his honour as a warrior. But by the end of the cattle raid, Ferdiad would be almost fully recovered thanks to superior #druidic healing skills.
