#BookologyThursday: `When the survivors of the war in Ireland return to Britain, in the Second Branch of the Mabinogi, they are serenaded as they rest and feast for seven years at Harlech by the three birds of #Rhiannon. All other songs are harsh compared to this singing. These birds have the magical property of sounding as clear as if they are very close, even though they are seen to be some way off over the sea.
While they are singing, the warriors in this #otherworldly space are not aware of how much time is passing, nor are they sad, in spite of the sorrows they have just lived through.`

#ThickTrunkTuesday: `Ash cured earthly as well as #Otherworldly diseases. As a protection against rickets, children were passed through young ash branches slashed in two, after which the branches were sutured up and left to heal. Should such healing not occur, which in the hardy ash was uncommon, the child was thought doomed to be as twisted as the tree. Ashwood was believed to be a general charm against evil.` #TreeTuesday #TreeOfTheDay

#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday #31DaysofHaunting: `In contrast to the times before Christianisation, the time around #Samhain came to be feared by the ordinary people. Rather than being the friendly souls of deceased ancestors, these #Otherworldly visitors began to be seen as creatures of evil out to cause havoc and destruction. They had to be bribed with offerings of food and gifts, and kept at bay with superstition and ritual.`

#FolkloreThursday: In #Scotland Carlin, a name for the #Cailleach as a harvest divinity, was the name given to the spirit of #Samhain, the end of the harvest. The sheaf representing her was exhibited in the home to discourage #otherworldly visitors.

#WyrdWednesday: `Cuillean from the Sidhe of Cooalney asked #Fionn mac Cumhaill to drink from his #otherworldly cup of gold. Fionn, who had been turned into an old man by Milucra, obeyed, and immediately his own shape returned to him, and his strength was greater than it had ever been before; the only thing which remained unchanged was his hair, which shone like white silver. There were some of the Fianna who would have liked to drink from the cup also, for Cuillean said that whoever drank from it would have knowledge of the future. But as Fionn was passing the cup to one of them it slipped from his hand and sank deep into the earth, and was never found again; only where it sank a many-branched tree sprang up, and it is said that whoever gazed on that tree in the morning, before breaking his fast, would most surely know all that would happen to him from that time until nightfall.` #Celtic
