#FolkloreThursday #Celtic: In the Fianna legends we meet up with #Aonbharr as the horse of the 'Gille Decair', the Bad Servant, who is #Manannan himself in disguise. None of the #Fianna succeeded in even getting the mare to move, until eventually she took off at an alarming rate with Conan on her back, whom she took away to the #Otherworld. He later had to be rescued by the #Fianna. The Gille Decair himself is the only one who can control his horse, for rather than dominating it as the master, he is in fact its servant, the servant of the #Goddess.`

#FolkloreThursday #Celtic: `The most famous horse in Irish mythology is the magical horse of #Manannan, '#Aonbharr of the Splendid Mane'. This wonderful mare was swifter than the spring wind and could travel equally well on either land or sea. #Lugh was riding #Aonbharr when the #Fomorians first caught sight of him. Any rider of this magical beast would be invulnerable whilst on her back. However, riding this mare was most difficult for mortals.`
