Hi all - this is a new account just for my comparative mythology project on the Celtic-Christian Saints, which I've previously been sharing over on @seachaint@masto.hackers.town 'til now. "The Gods and Their Croziers" is my current passion - applying a comparative mythology model inherited from others such as "Taliesin's Map", I've been able to identify some key clusters of Gaelic and British saints who are, in fact, entirely Gods rewritten as Saints. Indeed, almost every saint prior to 650CE (possibly later) appears to be a fictional re-writing of a Celtic mythological character. Even more interestingly, their names and locations of worship seem to frequently, perhaps usually, correspond to native epithets and associated sites. I'm currently publishing dossiers on the God-Saints the day before their feast-days according to the Christian calendars. I try to include in each issue enough information to understand the connection, to get an idea of the function of the deity in context, and some information on names, places, animals/plants, and other dates or events that might be relevant to the god. Anyone into #Celtic or #Irish #Paganism or #Mythology ought to enjoy this work - some of Ireland's "missing" gods are _only_ recorded clearly as Saints, having never been written as native mythology (or only in highly fragmentary, coded form). But, with the "Key" from the Saints, we can unpack mythology that's remained obscure until now. I hope ye'll join me in exploring this whole new frontier of Irish mythological exploration. https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/ #Introduction

In Welsh mythology, the woman Blodeuwedd was created from the flowers of the broom, meadowsweet, and oak by the wizard Gwydion to marry his ward Lleu. However, Blodeuwedd fell in love with Gronw and tried to murder Lleu. As a punishment, Gwydion transformed her into the first owl. 🎨 Yuri Leitch #MythologyMonday #Mythology #Folklore #Wales #Celtic #Bird #Owl #Mabinogion #Mabinogi

That's January over and out, a month which many say seems to go on for ever. It will be interesting to see the total hours of sunlight recorded because it feels as though the weather for the start of 2026 can be summed up in one word – 'gloomy'. It started off it snowy fashion just days into the New Year, but by and large I am looking back on a month that has been gray, cold and wet. Now February is here and as someone explained to me a few days ago, the beginning of this month is marked by the ancient Celtic festival of 'Imbolc', which is associated with the goddess Brigid. 'Imbolc' marks the slow awakening of Mother Nature from the deepest depths of winter. #england #february #imbolc #nature #countryside #celtic #festival

A tale of two clubs. At the half, #Celtic up 3-1 vs #Utrecht and #Rangers down 3-1 vs #Porto. I hope #Porto figures they have this one and let #Estaquio on the field in the 2nd half. Stephen is a rock in the mid-field for #CanMNT, it is bizarre he he gets no minutes at the club level. #Fedifc #MastodonFC
