Zounds !

As the longest nights approach, we honor the wisdom of the old ways. 🌑 Our ancestors believed in the power of reflection during the dark months, calling on The Cailleach, the veiled goddess of winter, who shapes the land with her staff and guards the threshold of renewal.

Just learned about the old Cuala Press Christmas cards—arts and crafts meets Irish Revival vibes. Hand-drawn, printed by Yeats sisters, all very For the Cause. Theres Holy Mary herself, doing a bit of one-handed ironing. Iconic.

Ha ha ... for a bonus point, who is the gambling addicted DJ priest on #FatherTed ?

Gosh, yes! I have nightmares about fractional transfer values 🤷‍♀️

As we prepare for #StormBert in #Ireland, Étaín’s myth feels resonant. Torn by winds of jealousy and reborn after centuries of transformation, her story mirrors the resilience we need to endure modern tempests—whether of war, weather, or the heart.

Pretty hard to boop though :)

Nice! The detail and colors are incredible

Great capture! The Helix Nebula looks stunning, especially with such a short timeframe : well done! 🔭

Stunning capture and three clear nights well spent!

If that's not a portal, its at least an intergalactic window cleaners dream. ✨🔭 #SpaceGoals

You're not barking up the wrong nebula—I see it too! The Running Man might have a celestial companion. 🐾✨ #CosmicCanine

Brilliant work. Reminds me of what #Michelangelo said about carving: 'I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.'

In Irish Mythology, the Dagda, known as the "Good God," was a master of weather and seasons. As Ireland faces snow and ice warnings today, its a reminder of the ancient belief in deities controlling the elements.

I love a good Aptos sentence (12 pt +)

Agreed - even time isn’t safe from our bad decisions

Alarms don’t wake you - they just rudely ruin your day before it even starts.

Tuesday is the beige cardigan of the week 😑

Love the detail - the gravel is deadly!

Boann: #Celtic Goddess of the River and the Stars ✨☘️

Guardian of the sacred River Boyne, her mysteries flow from earth to the heavens.

Irish mythology whispers of Bealach na Bó Finne (the Way of the White Cow), the Milky Way, as her celestial path.
