#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `There are many examples of the hare having connections with the #Otherworld in #Irish #mythology and #folklore. Hares are associated with #spring, thus with the Goddess of the season, and represented love, fertility and growth. In Europe, that Goddess was Eostre, after whom Easter is named, but in #Ireland #Brigid is the Goddess of Spring, or #Imbolc.`

#FairyTaleTuesday: `#Beltane, beginning at sundown on the eve of the Celtic festival, was a day when the door to the #Otherworld opened sufficiently for #fairies and the dead to communicate with the living. Beltane was a festival for the living, when vibrant spirits were said to come forth seeking incarnation in human bodies or intercourse with the human realm.`

#MythologyMonday #Celtic: `#The position #Lugh assumed when he danced around his warriors before the Second Battle of Moytura is known as glám dícenn (“satire which destroys,” fitting for this poet-warrior) and did more than mimic a crane standing in water. Lifting one foot from the ground was meant to place the dancer between worlds, while only one eye was open to block this world and see into the #Otherworld. Traveling in a sunwise circle Lugh was blessing the fighters.`

#WyrdWednesday #Celtic #EarthDay: Emain Macha, Tara, Dún Ailinne, Uisnech and Rathcroghan feature prominently in Irish myths. `The major royal sites functioned as the communicating portal between the tribal territory and the #Otherworld. Each of these sites represented a sanctuary of sacred space, a potent expression of tribal power and unity. It is likely that a singular focal point within each great ritual sanctuary represented the axis mundi, the symbolic centre of the cosmos around which the tribal world revolved.`

#FolkloreThursday: One of the greatest #Celtic visions of the #Otherworld was that of Emain Albach, the Isle of Apples, a beautiful place of everlasting summer whose handsome residents danced the sun-drenched days away. The Otherworld looked like this world, only more beautiful and changeless: trees bore blossom and fruit at the same time there, no one ever aged or grew infirm, death had no dominion in the #Otherworld.
