    Extractions: When Megan and I decided to change our last names from Foster and Madden to O'Madadhain , I decided that, if I were going to go through this legal process anyway, I was going to change my middle name from "Christian" as well. While, in combination with several other factors, this name allowed me to make a great joke about my essential nature, I have for years felt uncomfortable with bearing a name which means "of or pertaining to Christianity" when in fact I have not been a Christian in that sense since I was about 10. (There are tenets of Christianity with which I agree, but I am an agnostic by policy.) So in the spring of 2001, I started seriously thinking about to what I would change my middle name. This took a while, in part because there were several properties that I wanted such a replacement to possess. I wanted it to mean, or be associated with, something of significance to me, such as a quality that I felt was central to who I was, or a person who had qualities that I admired and identified with. I wanted it to be at least loosely associated with my heritage (which is known to be at least Irish, English, Scots, and German). And I wanted to like the way that it looked and sounded. I looked at a lot of names; in particular, I read the entirety of

Mrs Shand Kydd, Diana's mother, died last week after a long illness. She was 68 years old. Prince Charles either decided to avoid the funeral, or had not been invited. Both the princes had been out of the country, but flew to Scotland for the funeral. Derby is a compact city at the centre of England, full of history, art and - reputedly - ghosts. Along with the traditional appeals of a market town - established in 1154 - it boasts easy accessibility to the beautiful uplands of the Peak District National Park - second most visited National Park in the world after Japan's Mount Fuji. The surrounding countryside is also home to some of the most distinguished of English country houses.

WITH regard to other divisions of the field of folk-lore, the views of scholars differ, but in the realm of faerie these differences are reconciled; it is agreed that fairy tales are relics of the ancient mythology; and the philosophers stroll hand in hand harmoniously. This is as it should be, in a realm about which cluster such delightful memories of the most poetic period of lifechildhood, before scepticism has crept in as ignorance slinks out. The knowledge which introduced scepticism is infinitely more valuable than the faith it displaced; but, in spite of that, there be few among us who have not felt evanescent regrets for the displacement by the foi scientifique of the old faith in fairies. There was something so peculiarly fascinating in that old belief, that 'once upon a time' the world was less practical in its facts than now, less commonplace and hum-drum, less subject to the inexorable laws of gravitation, optics, and the like. What dramas it has yielded! What poems, what dreams, what delights!

    http://www.heartoscotland.com/Categories/CelticMythology.htm
    
    Extractions: When we consider ancient Celtic mythology and Celtic religion, we are confronted with two rather conflicting mental images. On the one hand, there is the mighty, ferocious Celtic warrior, famed and feared throughout the Roman empire, fighting naked or painted blue, screaming like a Berserker, and cutting off the heads of the enemy. The Irish epics replace headhunting with cattle raiding. Warriors sit around a smoky hall, feasting and drinking and telling tales - who is the mightiest? The most famous story, the Tain Bo Cuailnge, tells of such a cattle raid. The Scottish Highlanders made their living and took their entertainment from stealing their neighbors' cattle for well over a thousand years. On the other hand, Celtic mythology is incorporated into the popular image of the druids. Merlin in his tall hat turning Wat into a fish or a squirrel. A powerful nature religion peopled with druids and bards who spent as long learning their craft as Buddha spent under the banyan tree seeking nirvana. A religion of magic and wonder with one foot in our world and the other in the land of faery. This "Disney" version of druidism ignores the bloodthirstiness of the Celtic pantheon and the human sacrifice involved in their propitiation, often by fire and, possibly, by boiling alive. In ancient Gaul, until Roman Christianization, the Celts decorated their homes with the heads of the enemy.

WITH regard to other divisions of the field of folk-lore, the views of scholars differ, but in the realm of faerie these differences are reconciled; it is agreed that fairy tales are relics of the ancient mythology; and the philosophers stroll hand in hand harmoniously. This is as it should be, in a realm about which cluster such delightful memories of the most poetic period of life - childhood, before scepticism has crept in as ignorance slinks out. The knowledge which introduced scepticism is infinitely more valuable than the faith it displaced; but, in spite of that, there be few among us who have not felt evanescent regrets for the displacement by the foi scientifique of the old faith in fairies. There was something so peculiarly fascinating in that old belief, that 'once upon a time' the world was less practical in its facts than now, less commonplace and hum-drum, less subject to the inexorable laws of gravitation, optics, and the like. What dramas it has yielded! What poems, what dreams, what delights! But since the knowledge of our maturer years destroys all that, it is with a degree of satisfaction we can turn to the consolations of the fairy mythology. The beloved tales of old are 'not true' - but at least they are not mere idle nonsense, and they have a good and sufficient reason for being in the world; we may continue to respect them. The wit who observed that the final cause of fairy legends is 'to afford sport for people who ruthlessly track them to their origin,' [Saturday Review,' October 20, 1877] expressed a grave truth in jocular form. Since one can no longer rest in peace with one's ignorance, it is a comfort to the lover of fairy legends to find that he need not sweep them into the grate as so much rubbish; on the contrary they become even more enchanting in the crucible of science than they were in their old character.
