Ok scholars, how exactly can I find this exact section in manuscript ? Found in the Book of Leinster (H, 2,18) fol. 78h. Apparently Eochaid find was visited by the ghost of Cu Chullain ?

I don't feel so good, Mr. Celtic studies

Our illustrator said it best funnily, both have "main character energy". Think Link in TLOZ, breaking into houses and smashing pots with seemingly no consequences

Having spent the past several years pouring over the various writings, musings, and related stories to some of the biggest names in Irish myth history-- like Finn McCool and Conn of the hundred battles, that has me wondering, how were these characters seen as heroic? They acted like assholes

In writing Conn's death I had to examine all the details, meaning I drew some interesting conclusions I don't think are discussed often. In the battle of Mag Lena, Conn is described as having a band of 50 warrior foster brothers, coincidentally also the # of warriors veiled as women who kill Conn

Writing the first meeting of our protagonist, Eochaid Finn and Fionn Mac Cumhail has me asking, What's Gaelic for ' mother fucker ' ? 😂

License for Plunder sounds like a 007 film set in the dark ages.

Now that I've finished planning / performing for our Easter Rising Commemoration I can focus on my last few papers for my storytelling class which I'm hoping to synthesize into my submission for the clans of Ireland Essay.

"...As to their hair, it was worn long, and either " interwoven into braids," or" rolled into a ball behind and covered with a gold cuach."
Cuach, bowl is cognate with the more ancient" - Feena Erin

My research into the world of the Fotharta for my forthcoming writings has led me to imagining; just what were the hair and fashion accessories of the ancient Gaels?! Are these what you imagined ?

As always we stands on the shoulders of Giants, and today's post cites the work "The Féine or Goidels", by Liam Ó Buachalla, published in the 'Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society' in 1944.

It's Rob!
