#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: Milucra hoped to win over the legendary hero #Fionn mac Cumhaill, #Áine's lover. Knowing that her sister had sworn never to marry a man with gray hair, #Milucra secretly cast a spell on the lake near the summit of #SlieveGullion so that anyone who swam in it would grow old. One autumn day she tricked Fionn by asking him to fetch her golden ring from the lake, and he emerged as an old man with gray-white hair. His men, the Fianna, forced her to give him a healing potion from her cornucopia. Fionn became young again, but his hair did not regain its true color. This is said to be the origin of his name Fionn, which means "white". In some versions of the tale, Milucra turned out to be the Cailleach Bhéara (Calliagh Birra), an ancient goddess.

#FolkloreSunday: `#Áine was so beautiful that anyone who saw her naked went insane, so she always wore a feathered cloak that made her look like a swan. Alas, the cloak also made sexual faithfulness impossible.` #Celtic

#MythologyMonday: #Áine is an #Irish goddess of summer, wealth and sovereignty, sometimes represented by a red mare. Some legends connect Áine with madness, for those who sat on her stone chair went mad, and if they sat there three times, they would never recover their wits. Those who were already mad, however, could regain their sanity through the same process.

#Celtic #FolkyFriday: `Until 1879 men used to bring flaming bunches of hay or straw on poles to the summit of Knockainy on Midsummer's Eve. They would carry them clockwise round the three barrows which they called 'the Hills of the Three Ancestors'. Then they would take the brands and run around the cultivated fields and pastures in the area to bring good luck to the animals and crops. It was believed that they were emulating the fairies who also performed this rite under the direction of #Aine as she impregnated the land with her solar energy once the humans had gone. …
Sometimes people reported seeing her leading the human procession. She was seen on the hill as the 'cailleach' or wise woman and there are many stories of her taking human form. Those who treated her with kindness prospered.`

The goddess Aine, Queen of the Fairies, was said to live beneath Ireland's Lough Gur. One day as Aine napped by the lake, a covetous herdsboy saw her and stole her golden comb. For this, the boy experienced constant misfortune until the day of his untimely death. #FolkloreSunday

Des #soignants dans la peau d’un #aîné malade. « Pendant près d’une heure, cinq collègues et lui se mettent dans la peau d’une personne âgée à l’urgence. Ils sont vêtus d’une combinaison spéciale qui limite leur amplitude articulaire et courbe leur dos, mettant en péril leur équilibre. Ils portent aussi des lunettes qui simulent des cataractes. » https://www.ledevoir.com/societe/sante/791606/sante-des-soignants-dans-la-peau-d-un-aine-malade #SoinsHospitaliers

#introduction

I'm a complicated person with a whole bunch of different interests. To start, I'm proudly #nonbinary #transgender ( #bigender and #genderfluid ). I'm also a #polytheist and mystic, a devotee of #Freyja and #Aine who is also close to #Loki #Brighid and #theMorrigan.

I'm a #developer into #linux, #retrocomputing, a #photographer, a #writer, and an #ADF #Druid.

I'm coming over here from Facebook, looking to find a social network that is more supportive of queer folk such as myself.
