82. Tuatha De Danaan Family Tree Charts the familial relationship among the gods of irish Celtic mythology. http://baharna.com/celtic/index.htm

Although a couple of reference works give family trees for the Welsh gods ( DK R ), I have never seen a family tree that showed all the relationships among the prominent gods of the Irish pantheon, the Tuatha Dé Danann. I started keeping track of the relationships I could find, and the result is the following incomplete and somewhat inconsistent set of tables. Note that Different legends often provide different geneaologies for the same people. The spelling of Irish names varies tremendously, depending on which book you read. The spellings I use here are common, but far from universal. The notes in the table refer to books in the Bibliography of Sources at the end. These books are all excellent sources of information if you want to know more about the various gods in these family trees.

IRISH MYTHS AND LEGENDS: A BRIEF STUDY Can ABANAZIR We have to open a paranthesis here because in the Gaelic culture like the First of May, which is the beginning of surnmer. It comes right after the Teutonic feast of Walpurgisnacht on the 30th of April, a time when all evil is loose on earth. There was a Celtic feast called Beltine on the First of May also. And again the 30th of October is significant for it heralds the arrival of winter and this date is celebrated in a rather comical manner today as Halloween or All Hallow's Eve, and there was a Celtic feast called Samain that day where human sacrifices were offered to Gods. In the Druidic Ireland these dates were holy so the Christians who could not destroy these beliefs re-shaped them and accepted them as Christian beliefs. The Tuatha Dc Danan, after the defeat did not disappear as the other races did but they became a pillar in the cultural life of Ireland. They went underground and became the "Sluagh Sidhe" - the fairy folk, and taking thek secrets and mysterious arts with them, entered an occult realm where they remained till today.

87. Irish Folklore And Mythology In The Nineteenth Centuries Ganesha Publishing publishes Western historical sources on Asia. http://www.ganesha-publishing.com/irish/myth.htm

Irish Folklore and Mythology in the Nineteenth Centuries Introduced by Robert Gilbert 6 Volumes Locating Irish Folklore , dates the birth of the European folklore scholarship to an earlier period (as part of the seventeenth-century intellectual tradition) and stresses the place of Irish studies in this area in the wider European context. The texts reprinted in this set encompass a wide range of different approaches to the promulgation of Irish mythology, legend and folklore. The first work, by Lady Wilde (Oscar Wilde's mother) contains classic legends organised by themes such as Animal Legends or Saints' Legends. Her second book concentrates on ancient cures for common ailments such as asthma, mumps and jaundice, but also includes more general charms and superstitions concerning Withcraft and Leprechauns as well as a selection of Irish proverbs. The collections oftales in Volumes 4 and 5 of this set concentrateon material gathered directly from oral traditions and include rare works such as McCall's Pulse of the Bards. The compiler of the Folk Tales of Breffny states in his introduction that most were 'told to him by an old man who said he had more and better learning nor the scholars'. The final volume combines two different strands of Irish studies from the mid-nineteenth century. The work by John Quincy Adams (the sixth American president) re-tells as an heroic ode the tale of Ireland's conquest. The Ballads edited by MacCarthy were published in part to demonstrate that the Irish 'could establish for ourselves a distinct and separate existence in the world of letters'.

Home About This Site Irish Genealogy Recipe Collections ... Dance Web AllAboutIrish.com History Interesting Places People Diaspora ... Site A-to-Z Index An Overview of Celtic Mythology by Pat Friend The Celts who settled in Ireland during the first millenium B.C.E., like most other ancient peoples, had explanations of the world around them that in today's literary traditions we consider "myths". Not based on what we accept as scientific principles in modern times, these ancient stories survive to tell us much about the people that embraced them. Before the arrival of Christianity and the availability of Western alphabets, the stories were largely passed on as part of an oral tradition in which the storytellers and poets were held in high regard within the Celtic society. Limited excerpts of the stories had been recorded in Ogham but that system of vertical and diagonal lines wasn't conducive to recording large volumes of written material. Sadly, any creation stories that were originally in the body of mythology were lost before they were told to the Christian scribes who recorded the bulk of the stories sometime between the 8th and 12th (C.E.) centuries.

89. Lugodoc's Guide To Celtic Mythology (site Mirror) There are two main cannons of myth, irish and Welsh These myths are scatteredabout in several still extant ancient irish manuscripts written by http://www.lyberty.com/encyc/articles/irishmyth.html

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.

The adventures of the famous seer-warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill are still known to many Irish people. These include how he gained his wisdom as a boy by tasting the 'salmon of knowledge', how he triumphed over miscellaneous giants and magicians, and how he had the truths of life explained to him in a strange allegorical house. The champion Lugh, originally a god of the Continental Celts, is also remembered - especially how he slew his tyrant grandfather who had a horrific eye which destroyed all on which it gazed. The adventures of the super warrior Cú Chulainn are spoken of and tales are also told of more true to life characters, such as the quasihistorical High-King Cormac Mac Airt and the historical though much romanticised Conall Gulban, son of the great king Niall and contemporary of St Patrick. Many of the myths and lore centres on the patron-saints of the various localities. The saints, historical personages from the early centuries of Irish Christianity, are portrayed in legend as miracle workers who used their sacred power to banish monsters, cure illnesses, and provide food for the people in time of need. Holy wells, dedicated to individual saints, are still frequented on their feast days in many areas, and people pray at these wells for relief from different kinds of physical and mental distress. The most celebrated saints in Ireland were the patron saint of Ireland, Patrick, the great founder of monasteries, Colm Cille and, second only to Patrick, Brighid who, as protectress of farming and livestock, preserves many of the attributes of the ancient earth goddess.

97. : The Black Irish Myth : : A theory as to why people of irish descent like to lay claim to Spanish bloodfrom the Armada. Links the Black irish to the Melungeons. By Tom Kunesh. http://www.darkfiber.com/blackirish/

Readers : i am growing tired of persons who pretend to have read the following essay then attack me with name-calling and threats for getting The TRUE Explanation of their "Black Irish" WRONG. the latest two attacks have asserted that (1) the original Irish were Black Africans, based on the descriptions of the Firbolg as black and a single reference in an 18th-century english text; and (2) that "the Danes were the heavy armed, chainmailed clad 'black' invaders [of Ireland in the 9th century]. [thus] the black Irish are persons that can count in their heritage, Danish ancestry." (note that neither theory accounts for the term's exclusive usage in the USA in the past century, with no source whatsoever found in Eire itself.) At no time in the essay do i claim to know the origin of the term "Black Irish". this essay is about what the "Black Irish" are -NOT-, ie, the Black Irish are NOT of spanish descent from Armada survivors, and the reasons why the Black Irish are not of spanish descent from Armada survivors. However, given recent readings and investigations, i will now hazard a

An Irish Myth Concordance by Mike Nichols 'Myth is what we call other people's religion.' Joseph Campbell The following concordance is based on 'Gods and Fighting Men' by Lady Augusta Gregory, first published in 1904. Page number references are to the 1976 trade paperback edition published by the MacMillan Company of Canada Limited. Breif supplimentary material is taken from 'Dictionary of Irish Myth and Legend' by Ronan Coghlan, published in 1979 by Donard Publishing Comapany, and referenced as 'DIM' in the following text. As this is intended to be a concordance of the Irish mythological cycle only (as opposed to heroic, legendary, or historical material), references are limited to Part I, Books I - V, of Lady Gregory's volume. 'Gods and Fighting Men' was selected as the primary text for this concordance because it represents the most comprehensive synthesis of variant sources (both published and oral) ever attempted as a continuous narrative of Irish mythology. Lady Gregory lists her published sources as follows: Abhean - son of Bicelmos, he was the harper of the Tuatha de Danaan, brought from the hills by the Men of the Three Gods (37).

British Studies Web Pages Myths, Legends, Fantasy... HOME MAIL EVENTS INFO ... BOOK REVIEWS Irish Myths and Legends Countless works have been written on the subject of Irish myths and legends. Irish history is rich in stories and sages about heroes, fairies, gods, wars and romances. The ancient stories can be divided into four circles of tales: The Mythological Cycle The Ulster Cycle The Fenian Cycle The Cycle of Kings Most of what we know about pagan Ireland comes from the Mythological Cycle. The stories tell of a land inhabited by ancient spirits and fairies. The 'Tuatha Dé Danann' are said to be the Irish equivalent of the Greek and Roman gods. Legend claims that they arrived in Ireland about 350 BC from the north Islands of Greece where they had learned their druidry, prophecy and magic. The Dagda was the leader of the Irish pantheon of gods, the father of all. He is said to have carried a harp, a club and a cauldron. The harp may be said to represent the music and poetry of Ireland, the club may stand for war and the cauldron represents the Celtic spirit. It was also the pot from which the Dagda drank and ate before copulating with female gods. Therefore it was aslo a symbol of fertility. The Tuatha Dé Danann were driven underground by invaders and thereafter inhabited the dark underworld of the hills and mountains., which were already full of fairies. Halloween (October 31st) was the night when the hills opened up and the spirits and the gods poured forth, led by flocks of red birds and a three-headed vulture.
