American/UK/Anglophone #pagan and #polytheist types stop being confidently incorrect about Irish mythology and paganism and language challenge.

"An" just means "the" and it is not used for *all* Irish Gods, only those whose Theonyms are likely Epithets (An Morrígan "the Great/Terrible Queen", An Dagda, "the Good God").

Just looked up Irish of Cath Maige Tuired to be sure and Bríg is never referred to as An Bríg. Nor is Lugh, Manannán Mac Lir etc. #IrishPaganism #IrishMythology

Just finished this book, it's an amazing resource for anyone studying the ogham! Highly recommended! (Also makes me want to go back to Ireland so badly :blobheartcat: )

I was joking about this poem earlier, but it's actually quite poignant. Sweeney, cursed by a Saint, and/or experiencing post battle anxiety/PTSD finds a kind of solace in nature, away from the pressures of Irish Kingship and human civilization and by extension, Christianity.

It of course has that conflict all Irish mediaeval literature has, where it's written by Christians but longs for pre-Christian pagan ish nature.
