There they were bled, and after their owners had tasted the blood, it was poured into the earth with prayers for the herds’ safety.`

Bonfires are lit for protection; their flames, smoke & ash, are deemed to have protective powers. Simply circle (often with cattle) or leap over the flames!#FolkloreThursday https://twitter.com/eclary84/status/989483581608165376

"ANNOUNCING THE SAVE LOUGH NEAGH FILM FESTIVAL & CONFERENCE
9am Sat-Sun 9-10 May 2026, the weekend before the March for Lough Neagh
Register for a free ticket in our bio or saveloughneagh.com
The Lough, is dying before our eyes. Decades of mismanagement, political negligence, pollution and commercial extraction of its resources have left Lough Neagh blighted by a pestilence of blue-green algae, choking the life out of the Lough and putting it at risk of total ecosystem collapse.
Following the success of our exhibition ‘Natures Revolt’ which sought to blend art and traditions of resistance, the Save Lough Neagh campaign are organising this follow up event, to bring our community together for a two day festival of eco-socialism, resistance to extraction and exploitation, and artistic expression - to show collectively what Lough Neagh means to us all, and to galvanise the many thousands of people who have been impacted by this crisis. Acting together, we have the power to push for system change, secure a future for Lough Neagh, and demand accountability from those who have plundered it and profiteered from its destruction.
So come down to the festival for some of our film screenings, radical talks and panel discussions, or to hear some great music from local campaigners who have been staunch planet defenders for many years.
No to pollution
No to profiteering
No to political negligence

29 Mar 1603: The Earl of #Tyrone comes to Togher near #Dungannon #otd & surrenders to Sir William Godolphin #otd He didn't know, it seems, that Elizabeth I was already dead. #Ulster
Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe #BlackAndTans arrived in Ireland in 1920 on #ThisDayInHistory, sent by #WinstonChurchill to engage in brutal #colonial warfare. Their violence as the #RoyalIrishConstabulary, paired with the regular army and #Ulster's auxiliary militias, still failed.
