Ces traductions ont été obtenues par recherche dans les dictionnaires de prénoms, des dictionnaires de langues ou par recoupements. Elles vous permettront de proposer à vos joueurs des listes de prénoms pour nommer leurs personnages, et aussi pour les meneurs de jeux de chercher les noms des PNJs, et d'en avoir une réserve pour les improvisations en cours de partie. A cet usage, en début de liste se trouve indiqué le nombre de noms et la procédure pour un tirage aléatoire. Attention ! Cette numérotation pour le tirage aléatoire ne reflète en rien la réalité statistique de la répartition (dans une civilisation donnée) des prénoms, elle sert juste à permettre un tirage.

  • The Mast of Macha: the Celtic Irish and the War Goddess of Ireland
    Catherine Mowat: Barbara Roberts Memorial Book Prize Winner, 2003 THE 'MAST' OF MACHA THE CELTIC IRISH AND THE WAR GODDESS OF IRELAND "There are rough places yonder Where men cut off the mast of Macha; Where they drive young calves into the fold; Where the raven-women instigate battle"1 "A hundred generous kings died there, - harsh, heaped provisions - with nine ungentle madmen, with nine thousand men-at-arms"2 Celtic mythology is a brilliant shouting turmoil of stories, and within it is found a singularly poignant myth, 'Macha's Curse'. Macha is one of the powerful Morrigna - the bloody Goddesses of War for the pagan Irish - but the story of her loss in Macha's Curse seems symbolic of betrayal on two scales. It speaks of betrayal on a human scale. It also speaks of betrayal on a mythological one: of ancient beliefs not represented. These 'losses' connect with a proposal made by Anne Baring and Jules Cashford, in The Myth of The Goddess: Evolution of an Image, that any Goddess's inherent nature as a War Goddess reflects the loss of a larger, more powerful, image of a Mother Goddess, and another culture.3 This essay attempts to describe Macha and assess the applicability of Baring and Cashford's argument in this particular case. Several problems have arisen in exploring this topic. First, there is less material about Macha than other Irish Goddesses. Second, the fertile and unique synergy of cultural beliefs created by the Celts4 cannot be dismissed and, in a short paper, a problem exists in balancing what Macha meant to her people with the broader implications of the proposal made by Baring and Cashford.

    Estudios Irlandeses, Special Issue 12.2, 2017, pp. 8-31 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI Cathair Crobh Dearg: From Ancient Beliefs to the Rounds 2017 Frédéric Armao University of Toulon, France Copyright (c) 2017 by Frédéric Armao. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. This paper will study the case of the stone enclosure of Cathair Crobh Dearg, Co. Kerry (also referred to as the City) and Dá Chích Anann (or the Paps of Anu), the twin mountains that can be seen from the enclosure. The site is mentioned in ancient mythological texts as well as more modern accounts in connection with the Irish festival of Bealtaine, in early May. The author relied on archaeological evidence, an analysis of ancient documents, a number of manuscripts from the Irish National Folklore Collection, as well as personal visits to the site in order to try and understand the nature, and possibly origin, of both contemporary rituals and ancient beliefs. Key Words. Folklore, Mythology, Bealtaine, Cathair Crobh Dearg, Paps of Anu, Holy Well. Resumen. En este artículo se investiga el recinto de piedra de Cathair Crobh Deargh, en el Condado de Kerry (también conocido como “The City”) y Dá Chích Anann (o “The Paps of Anu”), las montañas gemelas que se distinguen desde dicho emplazamiento. El lugar se menciona en antiguos textos mitológicos así como en escritos más recientes en relación con la festividad irlandesa de Bealtaine, que se celebra a principios de mayo.

    The Battle of Moytura The Battle of Moytura Table of Contents The Battle of Moytura..............................................................................................................................................1 i The Battle of Moytura This page copyright © 2001 Blackmask Online. http://www.blackmask.com The Tuatha de Dannan were in the northern islands of the world, studying occult lore and sorcery, druidic arts, witchcraft and magical skills, until they surpasses the sages of the pagan arts. They studied occult lore, secret knowledge and diabolic arts in four cities: Falias, Gorias, Murias and Findias. From Falias was brought the Stone of Fal, which was located in Tara. It used to cry out beneath every king that would take Ireland. From Gorias was brought the spear with Lugh had. No battle was ever sustained against it, or against the man who held it in his hand. From Findias was brought the Sword of Nauda. No one ever escaped from it once it was drawn from its deadly sheath, and no one could resist it. From Murias was brought the Dagda's cauldron. No company ever went away from it unsatisfied. There were four wizards in those four cities. Morfesa was in Falias, Esras was in Gorias, Uiscias was in Findias, and Semias was in Murias. They were the four poets from whom the Tuatha de learned occult lore and secret knowledge. The Tuatha De then made an alliance with the Formoire, and Balor the grandson of Net gave his daughter Ethne to Cian the son of Dian Cecht. And she bore the glorious grandchild, Lugh. The Tuatha De came with a great fleet to Ireland to take it by force from the Fir Bolg.

  • The Lebor Gabála Érenn at a Glance: an Overview of the 11Th Century Irish Book of Invasions
    The Lebor Gabála Érenn at a Glance: an Overview of the 11th Century Irish Book of Invasions Lloyd D. Graham* This document is intended as an orientation for students of the Lebor Gabála Érenn (LGE), a refresher for those who have read it in the past, and a rapid reference in relation to the genealogy of persons mentioned in the LGE. Nature and Origin of the Lebor Gabála Érenn narratives The LGE is one of the primary sources of information about the earliest period of Irish mythology, the so-called Mythological Cycle. All of the information in this guide has been abstracted from the Lebor Gabála Érenn - The Book of the Taking of Ireland Parts I-V, R.A.S. Macalister, D.Litt., Irish Texts Society, 1939-1954, reprinted 1993-1995. In general, Macalister provides three redactions of the text (essentially, R1 is from the Book of Leinster, R2 from the Stowe D Collection, and R3 from the Book of Ballymote) and this document provides a composite overview where greater weight has been given to the 'orthodox' or dominant versions. Alternative accounts or variant details are included only when they are deemed interesting or important to the larger context. In the LGE, the details for figures in Macalister's Section I (From the Creation to the Dispersal of the Nations) have their origins in the Old Testament book Genesis. LGE Section II (The Early History of the Gaedil) is a pseudohistory of the Gaels that seems to have been based on the wanderings of the Israelites in the Old Testament book Exodus.

  • Whispering Woods Celtic Pantheon Course
    Whispering Woods Celtic Pantheon course Welcome to our Celtic Pantheon course. The goal of this course is to provide you with an overview of the Celtic pantheon. This course was developed with three options in mind. The first is to cover the members of the Tuatha De Danann, the second Celtic (primarily Irish) Deity and last but not least, other Celtic Deity as they appear in England, France and so forth. While such a course won't cover the entire Celtic pantheon, it is hoped that this course will provide a comprehensive view of the Celtic pantheon. Whispering Woods coven Celtic Pantheon Course A Brief History of the Five Invasions Lesson One The "Book of Invasions" (the Leabhar Gabhála), was compiled by monastic scholars around the 12th century CE (Common Era). It records a series of mythical occupations of Ireland, beginning with relatives of Noah and culminating in the coming of the Sons of Mil, the Milesians, who were known as the Gaels. The earliest inhabitants according to the "Book of Invasions" were the company of Cessair. She arrived at Dun na mBarc (in Co. Cork), Ireland, with 50 other women, and three men. Her father Bith (said to be a son of Noah), her husband Fintan, and a third man, Ladia. Cessair married Fintan Mac Bochra. The three men were to divide the women among them, as well as dividing Ireland into three. They were thought to have come from Hibernia.

  • Complete Cattle Raid of Cooley, Irish and English
    The Cattle-Raid of Cooley (Táin Bó Cúalnge) is the central epic of the Ulster cycle. Queen Medb of Connaught gathers an army in order to gain possession of the most famous bull in Ireland, which is the property of Daire, a chieftain of Ulster. Because the men of Ulster are afflicted by a debilitating curse, the seventeen-year-old Cuchulain must defend Ulster single- handedly. The battle between Cuchulain and his friend Ferdiad is one of the most famous passages in early Irish literature.
