#Celtic#FairyTaleTuesday: High King Art mac Cuinn had a one night stand with Achtan, daughter of a druid/smith named Olc Acha. One night, however, as Achtan slept, exhausted from her day’s travelling, her infant, #Cormac mac Airt, was stolen by a she-wolf and raised alongside her cubs.

#Celtic#FolkyFriday: This is how High King Cormac vanished: One morning he went out alone from Tara over the plain, taking the direction in which his wife and children had passed away a year before, and soon little fingers of mist began to curl about his feet, and then to flit by him like long trailing scarves, and he was lost in the #Otherworld.

„On a bitterly cold winter day, #Fionn and his men, weary from travel, sought shelter from the harsh weather. Amidst heavy hailstorms and falling snow, they pursued a fawn until it vanished near Slieve-na-man. In the growing darkness and biting cold, they discovered the great house of Donn mac Midir. The Fians feasted on Angus Óg’s magical swine, the golden apples from Manannan’s hidden Isle of Youth, and nuts from wisdom-bearing hazel-trees. This enchanted meal bestowed enduring strength, valor, and wisdom.“ #Celtic
