#MythologyMonday: `If, O Father Lugh, for this one night you would keep watch and ward for me the while I sleep, then could I for a space take peaceful rest.”
“I come for that,” said #Lugh, “from fairy land. Sleep then, O Ulster’s Hound, and by the grave of Lerga deeply rest; no harm shall come to Ulster while you sleep, for I will watch and battle with the host.” Then in deep peace and slumber #Cuchulain took his rest, and for three days and nights he stirred not once, but slept a dreamless, torpid sleep. And fairy-folk brought magic herbs to put into his wounds, to soothe and heal him while he slept, and all the while Lugh sat at his right hand, guarding his rest, save when some feat of slaughter was to do upon the men of Erin.` #Celtic

#BookologyThursday: `Nuada Silverhand’s sword of light, the first weapon of the first Lord of the Tuatha Dé Danann, was named Claimh Solas! Also called Nuada’s torch, once unsheathed all who stood against it were slain. This came from the sorcerous city of Findias, one of the four great treasures and jewels of the Dé Danann.
Throughout Irish mythology can be found many swords of light, although it is not known whether they bore a relationship to Nuada’s sword, or whether they were different in nature. The Claimh Solas was said to have fallen whole into the abyss of the underworld after Nuada thrust it into the breast of the harvester of souls, who had been summoned to collect the were-price in souls for the enemies of the Tuatha.` #Celtic

#FairyTaleTuesday: #Dylan's Rock is located north of the Church of St Beuno's Church at Clynnog Fawr on the seashore, which must be on or near the location of his grave as told in Englynion y Beddau (Stanzas of the Grave) of the Black Book of Carmarthen.
In some interpretations of legend, #Dylan represents darkness while his twin brother Lleu Llaw Gyffes represents light. But the more common inerpretation is that Dylan is a #Welsh sea-god.
Dylan was accidentally killed by his uncle, and it has been said that "The clamour of the waves dashing upon the beach is the expression of their longing to avenge their son." #Celtic

#FairyTaleTuesday: One of the stations of the Glencolmcille pilgrimage in the townland of Farranmacbride, Co. Donegal, is a cross-inscribed holed stone called “Cloch an Aoineach” (“The Stone of the Gathering”) with the hole piercing the centre of the cross. Traditionally, engaged couples would entwine their fingers inside the hole, one on either side of the stone.` #Celtic

In Irish folklore, Jack was a lying drunkard who trapped Satan, and wouldn't let him go until he swore to never take Jack's soul. However, Jack's sins meant he couldn't go to Heaven when he died. Barred from Heaven and Hell, his ghost is forced to walk the Earth forever, carrying his lantern in a turnip. Thus, he became known as Jack o' Lantern.
