The Gods and Their CroziersThe second of today's issues is finally ready - it concerns Nechtan (aka Elcmar), an Irish God of Wisdom married to the Ur-Wisdom/Waters goddess Boann. Father-figure to a Fionn and a Divine Twin, he enjoys parallels all over the Proto-Indo-European world including some uncanny ones in India.
The first issue of today's double-feature is out: Saint Moling, a very clear saintly parallel to the god Aengus mac Óg.
Moling's mythos is a wonderful case where the saint's version of the story helps to firm-up certain details of the "known" God's mythology.
It also exposes a lot of surface-area on the theory I presented in a previous issue, that Aengus and Cúchulainn form unlikely-seeming poles of a divine continuity, that can be observed in international parallels when we know where to look.
Today's Issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out: Colm Cille!
Colm (and the many, many hypostases of same) belongs to the same archetype as Cíar and Bíle, but one step down: an emanation of the Demiurge-Creator-God, but one who's more embedded in the world itself.
There are two big-name kings explored in this issue, also: Conchobar mac Nessa, and Cormac mac Airt*.
* I also touch on Art, and Arthur (yes, that Arthur) - but I'm not sure they're the same god-archetype.

Tasarla RomaneyIn Celtic lore, the fox was the trusted guide through the spirit world.
In Japanese myth, it was the shapeshifter, the keeper of secrets.
In Native traditions, the fox is clever, watchful, and deeply intuitive.
What does it mean when the fox is your totem?
