Der Stone of Destiny auf dem Hill of Tara war der „Thron“, auf den sich die altirischen Hochkönige setzen mussten, um ihr Amt anzutreten. Warum es sich dabei um ein offensichtliches Phallussymbol handelt, lässt diverse Deutungen zu. #Irland #Kelten #König #Hochkönig #Krönung #Phallus #HillOfTara

Keltenwelt am Glauberg: So rei...

#FindsFriday #Celtic: `As finds from Dún Ailinne show, #Beltane was probably also a time for slaughtering livestock.
The widespread cult of fire was linked to purification rites, as livestock were driven through burning fires to ward off the risk of an epidemic.`

#FindsFriday #Celtic: `The meaning ‘Bel-fire’ of #Beltane may refer to the god Belenus. In pagan times, large fires were lit everywhere at Beltane, the most important being at Uisnech, in the centre of Ireland, in remembrance of the first fire lit in Ireland by the people of Partholón. Their settlement, as well as that of the Milesians around Beli and that of the Túatha Dé Danann, had all taken place at Beltane.
At Beltane, an oenach was held in Uisnech, which was one of the most important festivals in Ireland.`

#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `Cernunnos wears a stag’s antlers and has a stag as his companion. He represents the endless cycle of nature, symbolised by the constant shedding and regrowth of the antlers. In Christian medieval texts, the stag was regarded as a metaphor for the death and redemption of Christ. Stags are associated with renewal.`

#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `The renewal of the earth, and with it its fertility and abundance, is particularly symbolised by the stag, owing to the annual renewal of its antlers.`
