  • Celtic Solar Goddesses: from Goddess of the Sun to Queen of Heaven
    CELTIC SOLAR GODDESSES: FROM GODDESS OF THE SUN TO QUEEN OF HEAVEN by Hayley J. Arrington A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Women’s Spirituality Institute of Transpersonal Psychology Palo Alto, California June 8, 2012 I certify that I have read and approved the content and presentation of this thesis: ________________________________________________ __________________ Judy Grahn, Ph.D., Committee Chairperson Date ________________________________________________ __________________ Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D., Committee Member Date Copyright © Hayley Jane Arrington 2012 All Rights Reserved Formatted according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th Edition ii Abstract Celtic Solar Goddesses: From Goddess of the Sun to Queen of Heaven by Hayley J. Arrington Utilizing a feminist hermeneutical inquiry, my research through three Celtic goddesses—Aine, Grian, and Brigit—shows that the sun was revered as feminine in Celtic tradition. Additionally, I argue that through the introduction and assimilation of Christianity into the British Isles, the Virgin Mary assumed the same characteristics as the earlier Celtic solar deities. The lands generally referred to as Celtic lands include Cornwall in Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Brittany in France; however, I will be limiting my research to the British Isles. I am examining these three goddesses in particular, in relation to their status as solar deities, using the etymologies of their names to link them to the sun and its manifestation on earth: fire. Given that they share the same attributes, I illustrate how solar goddesses can be equated with goddesses of sovereignty. Furthermore, I examine the figure of St.

Trappers, traders with the Indians, small farmers, transported convicts or footloose adventurers, their settlements sprang up along the shores of the Mississippi, the Missouri and the St. Lawrence, extending the presence of French culture over a vast area. Although the Seven Years' War of the 1750's checked the presence of French political ambitions in North America and tipped the balance in favour of English-speakers, place names like Detroit, Terre Haute, Fond du Lac and Des Moines scattered across the map of the United States bear witness to the far reach of the French influence in 1 centuries gone by. In Quebec and Louisiana, however, and in some parts of the other Canadian provinces and of New England, French culture is still a living part of the local heritage. The settlers brought with them songs and dances that were popular in France in the 1600's and 1700's.

  • Ritual Details of the Irish Horse Sacrifice in Betha Mholaise Daiminse
    Ritual Details of the Irish Horse Sacrifice in Betha Mholaise Daiminse David Fickett-Wilbar Durham, New Hampshire [email protected] The kingly inauguration ritual described by Gerald of Wales has often been compared with horse sacrifice rituals in other Indo-European traditions, in particular the Roman October Equus and the Vedic aßvamedha. Among the doubts expressed about the Irish account is that it is the only text that describes the ritual. I will argue, however, that a similar ritual is found in another text, the Irish Life of St. Molaise of Devenish (Betha Mholaise Daiminise), not only confirming the accuracy of much of Gerald’s account, but providing additional details. Gerald of Wales’ (Gerald Cambrensis’) description of “a new and outlandish way of confirming kingship and dominion” in Ireland is justly famous among Celticists and Indo-European comparativists. It purports to give us a description of what can only be a pagan ritual, accounts of which from Ireland are in short supply, surviving into 12th century Ireland. He writes: Est igitur in boreali et ulteriori Uitoniae parte, scilicet apud Kenelcunnil, gens quaedam, quae barbaro nimis et abominabili ritu sic sibi regem creare solet. Collecto in unum universo terrae illius populo, in medium producitur jumentum candidum. Ad quod sublimandus ille non in principem sed in beluam, non in regem sed exlegem, coram omnibus bestialiter accedens, non minus impudenter quam imprudenter se quoque bestiam profitetur. Et statim jumento interfecto, et frustatim in aqua decocto, in eadam aqua balneum ei paratur. Cui insidens, de carnibus illis sibi allatis, circumstante populo suo et convescente, comedit ipse.

  • Autochthons and Otherworlds in Celtic and Slavic
    Grigory Bondarenko Coleraine Address AUTOCHTHONS AND OTHERWORLDS IN CELTIC AND SLAVIC 1. Introduction. Separation of Ireland in Mesca Ulad. When dealing with Irish Otherworld one encounters the problem of the beginning of historical consciousness in Ireland. The time immemorial when the Túatha Dé were said to have ruled Ireland as described in the first half of ‘The Wooing of Etaín’ (Tochmarc Etaíne) is perceived as a period during which there is no sharp division between this world and the Otherworld, nor between sons of Míl and the Tuatha Dé, the time when gods walked on earth (Bergin, Best 1934–38: 142–46).1 One can even argue that even in the later periods (according to Irish traditional chronology), as they are reflected in early Irish tradition, the border-line between this world and the ‘supernatural’ existence is transparent and in any relevant early Irish narrative one can hardly trace a precise moment when a hero enters the ‘Otherworld’. What is remarkable is that one can definitely detect ‘other- worldly’ characters in this environment such as the supernatural beings (áes síde) that are associated with a particular locus, a síd. The seemingly ‘historical’ question of when lower Otherworld in Ireland was first separat- ed from the middle world of humans is dealt with in a number of early Irish tales. Let us focus on a short fragment from an Ulster cycle tale ‘The drunk- enness of the Ulaid’ (Mesca Ulad). The problem of áes síde and their oppo- sition to humans is posed here only in order to determine the conflict in the tale.

  • From the Graeco–Roman Underworld to the Celtic Otherworld: the Cultural Translation of a Pagan Deity
    From the Graeco–Roman Underworld to the Celtic Otherworld: The Cultural Translation of a Pagan Deity angana moitra edieval narratives and literary texts are outfitted with text- worlds inhabited by figures who are as diverse and complex as Mthey are numerous in number. Although many of these figures represent unique artistic creations, some constitute prototypes with echoes in other literary and textual cultures. Although the narrative trajectories of medieval texts demarcate intended (or unintended) destinations for its cast of characters, it is important to note that the mere act of appearance within the narrative text-world is itself the destination for many of these figures, a destination that is often reached via a circuitous cultural pere- grination. As reflections of cultural attitudes which are dynamic, protean, and in a state of constant flux, literary figures are effervescent and contin- uously adapting to contextual specificities. But although discrete literary cultures have their own defining and unique characteristics, they do not exist in a vacuum, hermetically sealed off from developments in religious, political, and sociocultural life. On the contrary, textual cultures and lit- erary figures often demonstrate patterns of continuity (albeit in different forms) as the cultural systems of which they are a part interact with each other. Although such intercultural communication is typically viewed as a necessary by-product of an increasingly globalised world, it is not an invention of the modern age. Medieval cultures have all too frequently been negatively viewed as insular, monolithic systems frozen in time as fossilised blocs, which constitutes a reductive and totalising approach that overlooks how the social, political, literary, and religious systems of the Middle Ages actively mingled with each other in many contexts.

  • Chapter on History of the Otherworld
    PERCEPTIONS OF ANNWN: THE OTHERWORLD IN THE FOUR BRANCHES OF THE MABINOGI Rhian Rees MA Celtic Studies Dissertation Department of Welsh and Bilingual Studies Supervisor: Dr Jane Cartwright University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Lampeter 2012 2 ABSTRACT There is little description or positive information about the realm of Annwn in the Four Branches, and relatively few publications have explored the Otherworld in the Mabinogi in any depth. The redactor presumably did not deem such detail necessary since in his time the Otherworld was a place familiar to his audience from many other stories and folk-tales which have not survived to inform our own times. The objective of this thesis, therefore, is to establish the perceived location of the Celtic Otherworld, its nature and topography, and to obtain descriptions of its people, buildings and animals and any distinctive objects or characteristics pertaining to it. The ways in which Annwn influences each of the Four Branches are also considered. Some sketchy evidence is available in Welsh poetry, mostly various descriptive names reflecting different aspects of Annwn, but for more detailed information it is necessary to trawl the waters of early Irish literature. The Irish poems and stories give much fuller particulars of all characteristics of the Celtic Otherworld, though they do suggest that there was more than one such other world. Some parallels from Norse literature and the Lais of Marie de France also reinforce certain themes of this thesis, such as magical tumuli and magical bags and
