Lugodoc's Guide to Celtic Mythology
Through a monstrous perversion of the Bard's art, Lugodoc has reduced the entire canon of Celtic myth into bite-sized chunks, easily digested by today's 3-minute attention spanned video game-addicted goldfish-minded web-surfing generation. This is not a telling of Celtic myth, only a map. Chronological sense is maintained except where this would ruin the flow of the Celtic knot of interweaving stories. Try too hard to put these in proper order and you will go mad. Myth is not history. Some stories appear under their traditional titles, some I have had to make up. Some things in it are devilish lies, and some poetical figments; some seem possible and others not; some are for the enjoyment of idiots. There are two main cannons of myth, Irish and Welsh
Irish Mythology
The oldest of these stories were composed in the pagan Celtic iron age of Ireland, possibly as early as 300 BC, and passed on in the druidic oral tradition until the coming of Christianity and the decay of the druidic priesthood in the 5th century AD. The stories were then passed on by wandering bards, added to and bits lost, until the first scraps were first written down in a highly confused order with odd legal and historical notes on cow-hides by early Irish Christian monks in the 7th century. The oral tradition continued to grow and mutate, monks kept writing them down, and manuscripts were copied and then lost. These myths are scattered about in several still extant ancient Irish manuscripts written by Christian monks between the 12th and 14th centuries AD, such as The Book of the Dun Cow (LU), The Book of Leinster (LL) and The Yellow Book of Lecan (YBL). Some were written as late as the 18th century. The original pagan myths therefore suffer from varying degrees of Christian contamination.

Celtic Mythology Ireland
I think the main reason I am a Celtophile is becuase of the gorgeous Irish mythological tradition . My favorite series of Irish myths are contained within what is called The Ulster Cycle . Unfortuately, not too much Irish mythology has made its way onto the net. I have found one excellently done translation of the tale of MacDatho's Pig . Just recently, someone pointed out to me an online translation of Tain Bo Cualgne The Cattle-Raid of Cooley , one of the real classics. A few more Celtic tales , less attractively displayed, are avialable via gopher. For more information about Ireland and links to other interesting Celtic sites, I have to recommend click here to return to my homepage.

Irish Mythology
The Irish mythological cycle can be divided into four major divisions. The first is the historical-mythological cycle. Two important texts are part of this cycle: the Leabhar Gahbala (Book of Invasions), a mythological history of Ireland; and the Dinnshenchas (History of Places), a mythological geography of Ireland. The main theme in the historical-mythological cycle concerns the peopling of Ireland and the fortunes of the Tuatha De Danann (People of the Goddess Danann), who were the mythological ancestors of the Irish. The second division is the Ulster cycle. These myths are stories of the warriors of King Conchobar. The themes of those of honor and prestige revolve around heroic deeds and the hero Cu Chulainn (or Cuchulainn). The third division is that of Fenian. The Fenian Cycle recounts the exploits of Finn Mac Cumhail and his companions and deals with the cult and institution of warriors. The last division deals with the institution and founding of the great and lesser kings of Ireland. The Tuatha are described as demigods; they are beautiful people, possessed with skill in music and the arts. They are always spoken about within a context of fabulous magical powers and wonders, which define the essence of their manifestation. A central theme in the myth of the Tuatha is that of the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. During the First Battle of Mag Tuired the king of the Tuatha, Nuada, is wounded. Because he is now physically blemished, he can no longer serve as king. The kingship is then given to his adopted son, Bres. Bres's father is a king of the Fomoire, a group of people with whom Nemed and his people had fought in previous times. Bres's mother, Eriu, is, however, a Tuatha. The choice of Bres is apparently an attempt to accomplish an alliance between the Tuatha and the Fomoire.

During the 19th and early 20th Century there was a resurgence of interest in the folklore of Ireland, Wales and Scotland. This was reflected in a huge amount of literature based on the rich Celtic mythopoetic heritage, most of it very faithful to the original material, some in a more modern voice.

The Second Battle of Mag Tuired (Cath Maige Tuired) This Irish saga, first written down in the ninth Century A.D. is an account of the epic battle between the mythical Tuatha De Danann and Fomoire for Ireland. It has deep roots in Indo-European mythology, told with Homeric grace and bawdy humor. There are many allusions to ancient pre-Christian Celtic traditions. The Cattle-Raid of Cooley is the central epic of the Ulster cycle. It tells of the great Irish hero, Cuchulain of Ulster, and his battle against the forces of Queen Medb of Connaught.

The Cycles of Irish Myth
The Cycles of Irish Myth
Compiled by ine MacDermot Irish is a Celtic language, brought to Ireland from the European mainland by Celtic peoples who arrived in the late 6th century BC (although recent archaeological evidence may push this estimate further back in time). The Celts lived in some 150 small agricultural communities called tuatha , each with its own chieftain. Cattle were the measure of a tuatha’s wealth. In this society, poets called filidh Written literature in Ireland begins after Christian missionaries arrived in the 5th century ad and introduced the Roman alphabet, which was then adapted to the Irish language. Christianity co-existed with traditional Irish ways, rather than supplanting them, and has continued to do so to the present day. Both traditions figure strongly in Irish literature. The mythology of pre-Christian Ireland did not entirely survive the conversion to Christianity, but much of it was preserved, shorn of its religious meanings, in medieval Irish literature, which represents the most extensive and best preserved of all the branches of Celtic mythology. Although many of the manuscripts have failed to survive, and much more material was probably never committed to writing, there is enough remaining to enable the identification of four distinct, if overlapping, cycles: the Mythological Cycle The Ulster Cycle The Fenian Cycle
