BACON BLACKIE AND SON LIMITED LONDON GLASGOW AND DUBLIN n.-a INTEODUCTION. Who the authors of these Tales were is unknown. It is generally accepted that what we now possess is the growth of family or tribal histories, which, from being transmitted down, from generation to generation, give us fair accounts of actual events. The Tales that are here given are only a few out of very many hundreds embedded in the vast quantity of Old Gaelic manuscripts hidden away in the libraries of nearly all the countries of Europe, as well as those that are treasured in the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin. An idea of the extent of these manuscripts may be gained by the statement of one, who perhaps had the fullest knowledge of them the late Professor O'Curry, in which he says that the portion of them (so far as they have been examined) relating to His- torical Tales would extend to upwards of 4000 pages of large size. This great mass is nearly all untrans- lated, but all the Tales that are given in this volume have already appeared in English, either in The Publications of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language] the poetical versions of The IV A LAND OF HEROES.

    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.

Heritage is described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as “our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations”. Ireland is a country rich in heritage and culture and has long recognised the importance of preserving this for future generations. Our Irish culture and heritage has created the spirit and identity of our people throughout the world and makes us what we are today with our distinctive characteristics. WORLD HERITAGE AND IRELAND Ireland signed the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in 1991. This brings with it both opportunities and obligations; Ireland as the “State Party” commits to nominating examples of exceptional heritage sites to the World Heritage List and to manage and protect these sites sustainably into the future. A World Heritage Site is a property that has been inscribed onto the World Heritage List by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO. Properties can be either of cultural or natural significance or a combination of the two (mixed). Cultural heritage refers to monuments, groups of buildings and sites with historical, aesthetic, archaeological, scientific, ethnological or anthropological value.

  • 2 Stones in the Hands of an Anointer - September 13, 2014 Ver
    2 Stones in the hands of an Anointer - September 13, 2014 ver. 1.3 Ireland is home to 2 stones of great significance. Both are connected to the bible but both stones do not share the same path. Both reside in the county of Meath (the red arrow to the right is pointing to Meath county) The first stone was born an evil stone. From under that stone the tentacles of evil have slithered and creped their evil influences worldwide. Its success of spreading over the past 2 millenniums has been to cloak itself as fun and harmless while being rotten to the core. It’s Trojan horse tactic has allowed all defenses to drop in order to slip into the minds of Christians. Evil has been declared good as it states in Is5:20. KJV Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! This stone of evil wasn't in any of the tour books that I read or any online must see spots in Ireland. It was highlighted in the local county advertisement magazine and it was only 20 minutes from where we were staying. This was the spot for us to visit and anoint in order to break the curse flowing out from that ground. The second stone was used as a kingdom stone. The stone was a standard kingdom stone for centuries until destiny, prophecy and a prophet intervened and transformed that stone about 2,500 years ago into a prophetic kingdom stone.
