In Renaissance Europe, many university students got involved in the occult to rebel against their parents. Books on demon summoning often featured demons who were masters of specific academic disciplines (history, biology, etc.). Students tried to summon them to get good marks in their classes.

#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.

#FairyTaleTuesday for #ILoveHorsesDay: `When Sualtach found that no watchman of the kingly fort at Emain Macha answered him, in violent anger he turned back again. In his fierce wrath he dragged the bridle-rein, so that the Grey of Macha reared, and stumbled on a sleeping man, and swerved aside, flinging Sualtach forward on its neck. His head struck on the sharp edge of his missile-shield, so that it sheared it off, and the shield fell from his hand, his head within it, at the horse’s feet, the body hanging yet upon its back. At that the Grey turned round, and made its way into the inner court and onward to the hall, the lifeless body still upon its neck, dragging the head along upon the shield, whose strap had caught into its feet. And all the way they went, passing the outer and the inner courts into the very presence of the King, the voice of Sualtach from the dissevered head still called aloud, as though he were alive, “Your men are being slain, your cattle driven away; your women fall as captives to the men of Erin. In wild Murthemne’s plain Cuchulain all alone still holds the foemen back. Ulster, Arise, arise!”
“Too noisy is that head,” King Conor said, moving again and stirring in his sleep; “put it upon the pillar of the house that it may go to rest“.` #Celtic

#FairyTaleTuesday: `The Fians were appointed by the high king to be the keepers of peace in the land, and to repel the invaders who often came from over sea to make war on Ireland. It is for that reason they had so many camping-places on the coast, and kept watch and ward both over sea and land.` #Celtic

#FairyTaleTuesday: In the #Celtic #Fairytale „The Sea-Maiden“ a fisherman's son helped a large black dog, a hawk and an otter divide a carcass among the three. For settling their dispute, all three promised him their help in need.
To save the king's daughter, the son of a fisherman, who was meanwhile the king's shepherd, had to defeat a great beast with three heads that was dwelling in a loch.
And again the great black dog helped him after having saved his life when he had to fight a #giant.
