#FairyTaleTuesday #Celtic: `In the days when the people had no calendar, the various periods of good and bad weather were named after the battles of #Beira and the victories of the spirits of sunshine and growth.
Gaelic-speaking people still refer to certain gales in February and March by their ancient names— the "whistling wind", the "sweeper", and so on.`
