Today's issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out, concerning St.Crónán (AKA Mochua).

By various genealogical and situational clues, I have identified him as Dian Cécht (AKA Cainte), Physician of the Gods.

In the "Patterns" section, I also speculate about wtf is going on with all these faithfully preserved gods-as-saints: why would the Christians do this?

Samhain Explained: Halloween’s Celtic Origins

In Irish mythology, the Tuatha Dé Danann are considered the pantheon of deities and have a crucial role. Their moniker, “The People of the Goddess Danu,” reflects their celestial origins and stature. #irishmythology #irishmyths https://connectparanormal.net/2024/06/02/the-tuatha-de-danann-gods-of-irish-mythology/
The Tuatha Dé Danann: Gods of Irish Mythology

The Tuatha Dé Danann, Irish mythological deities, are depicted as kings, queens, and wise men with special magical abilities. Early Christian monks linked them to biblical figures and translated their name to "god-folk," humanizing them. Despite this, they are associated with ancient Celtic deities and portrayed with magical powers, residing in the Otherworld. Their role in legitimizing kingship and storytelling is significant in Irish culture.

In what is becoming a bit of a #stpatricksday tradition, I’ve been listening to the three part retelling of The Táin on the Candlelit Tales podcast (episodes 67-69). It’s brilliant.

Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music. Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this. Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories
