   Extractions: The 'triad' or concept of threeness is central to mankind's understanding of the spirit world. There are reasons for this. . . but they belong to another book. In any event, Christians will be as familiar with their Trinity as the ancients were with a ferocious threesome of female spirit entities, Badb, Macha, and Anand, daughters of Ernmas, associated with Queen Medb and Rathcroghan. In actuality this was the Triad Goddess of war. Sent away (to 'Babylon'?) by Medb, she recalled them to fight in the Táin. A druid of the Euro-Celtic people the 'Aedui', Diviziacus visited Rome in 61 AD and met Cicero and his brother. They discussed details of Druidic doctrine. The modern equivalent of this meeting would be a visit from a a member of the Brazilian rain forest people to the Pope. Or to the Secretary-General of the UN. He would receive a polite and interested reception and then be shown the door. But not before a photo-opportunity to demonstrate to the world at large that the concerns of the rain forest folk were high on the agenda of affairs. The actual details of 'Druidic doctrine' discussed are not easy to pin down. While Diviziacus no doubt spoke a type of Latin intelligible to Cicero, nonetheless the language required to express the Druidic concepts was not available.

   Extractions: According to the traditions of the Lebor Gabala Erren (Book of the Taking of Ireland), the Irish originated in Scythia and were descendants of a King Feinius Farsaid, a King of Scythia. This Feinius Farsaid and his son, Nel, went into Asia to work on the Tower of Nimrod (Tower of Babel in biblical history) and were present at the subsequent dispersal of the races after the destruction of the tower. Feinius and his son, both learned in the new languages which resulted from the dispersal, returned to Scythia where Feinius opened a great school of languages on the Scythian plain. In time his son Nel became such an expert in languages that pharoa of Egypt invited him into his country to teach his people the new languages of the world. So Nel went to Egypt and there he married Scota, pharoa's daughter. After pharoa was drowned in the Red Sea in pursuit of Moses and his band of Hebrews, Nel's great-grandson, Sru, fled from Egypt for fear of persecution by the Egyptians and with his son, Heber Scot, returned to Scythia. There Heber Scot won the kingship of Scythia. After a few generations, a descendant of Heber Scot, named Agnomain, killed a rival for the kingship of Scythia (a kingsman) and in revenge was driven from the country.

    Extractions: This page may take a second to load. Please be patient. A myth is a sacred story from the past. It may explain the origin of the universe and of life, or it may express its culture's moral values in human terms. Myths concern the powers who control the human world and the relationship between those powers and human beings. Although myths are religious in their origin and function, they may also be the earliest form of history, science, or philosophy. A folktale is a story that, in its plot, is pure fiction and that has no particular location in either time or space. However, despite its elements of fantasy, a folktale is actually a symbolic way of presenting the different means by which human beings cope with the world in which they live. Folktales concern people either royalty or common folk or animals who speak and act like people... A legend is a story from the past about a subject that was, or is believed to have been, historical. Legends concern people, places, and events. Usually, the subject is a saint, a king, a hero, a famous person, or a war. A legend is always associated with a particular place and a particular time in history. T his page will cover a few of the many facets of the mythological Irish jewel. Music, storytelling, and art were extremely important to the ancient Celts. Here you can find a glean of information on all of them. Surf and enjoy.

    http://www.bobreeder.com/iemyth.htm
    
    Extractions: 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.
