#BookologyThursday: `#Niamh had fallen in love with #Oisin, who was overtaken on first sight with desire for this lovely woman from the #Celtic #Otherworld. Without thinking that time passes more slowly in the #Otherworld than in our own or even a look back #Oisin went with the Princess of the Golden Hair on her fine white horse with golden reins over seas and plains and mountains far out to sea on a magical island, Tir Tairngiri (“land of promise”).

#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: `#Oisin gave out a great shout against the King of Lochlann's son. "Stop here with me, king's son," he said, "until I fight with you for the Fianna." "I give my word it is short the delay will be," said Forne.
Then he himself and Oisin made an attack on one another, and it seemed for a while that the battle was going against Oisin.`

#MythologyMonday: Time in the #Celtic #Otherworld is progressing much slower than with us. For #Oisín it turned out that three years in Tír na nÓg was equal to three hundred years in our world.

#MythologyMonday: #Oisin, `the little fawn`, was found as a naked boy of about seven by his father, #Fionn Mac Cumhaill, on the old magic mountain #BenBulbin. He became a warrior-poet of the #Fianna, living 300 years in the land of eternal youth #TírNanÓg. #Celtic
