Tried making a Milk #Macha without ice, didn't get those cool swirls of Macha/milk though that ice cubes creates. Added a bit of sugar to it top and it tasted rather good.

#MythologyMonday #Celtic: Heavily pregnant the horse goddesses #Macha was forced to race against the king`s horses. She outran them, „but as she came to the goal she gave a great cry, and her travail seized her, and she gave birth to twin children. As she uttered that cry, however, all the spectators felt themselves seized with pangs like her own and had no more strength than a woman in her travail. And Macha prophesied: `From this hour the shame you have wrought on me will fall upon each man of #Ulster. In the hours of your greatest need ye shall be weak and helpless as women in childbirth, and this shall endure for five days and four nights—to the ninth generation the curse shall be upon you.` And so it came to pass.“ #Celtic

#MythologyMonday: `For making her race highly pregnant against the horses of King Conchobor, #Macha, dying in childbirth, cursed the men of Ulster with birth "pangs" which incapacitate them in battle for 9 generations.
Perhaps the myth is a warning to the king-elect to be judicious with his newly found power and wealth to avoid evoking the anger of the Divine Horse` (and against the boasting of men?).` #Celtic
