The Gods and Their Croziers @godsandcroziers@pagan.plus

Fully a week late: the latest issue of The Gods and Their Croziers is out! This is Ailbhe, a Sun God and a patron of Harmony. They're a gender-ambiguous mess of archetypes that seem to come out differently in every mythology. Their closest _singular_ parallel seems to be Vishnu, but may have once included Mars. There's every reason to think that they're esoterically the Daytime face of an evening counterpart whose nature similarly encompasses the Moon and the Evening/Morning Star: Midir/Bréanainn and Aengus/Moling. And possibly a third or even fourth pairing for the Night and the Dawn. I'm still working this out. This issue is dense, and full of comparisons across multiple mythologies. It's got Loki! It's got Paris and Hector! It's got Cúchulainn and it's got Karna and Duryodhana! It's a mess! But if you stick with it, I promise you'll be as confused and enlightened as I was. https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/sep-12-saint-ailbhe-irish-god-of-celestial-harmonious-fire/ #Pagan #Paganism #Mythology #ComparativeMythology #Gaelic #Irish #Celtic

I just realized that I have the perfect anti-AI story: King Cormac and the Silver Branch It's an Irish legend about a wise king who is visited by a mysterious otherworldly stranger bearing a silver branch with golden apples. Shaking the branch produces such a wonderful music that people immediately forget their pain and sorrows and daily worries. King Cormac covets the branch, and is willing to pay whatever price the stranger sets for it. 1/3 #AI #folklore #legends #mythology

In the second half of the legend, Cormac sets out on a quest to find his family. He travels to the otherworld and is tested by Manannan Mac Lir, admitting his mistake, and regaining his family. It is a long and hard quest, and he returns to his kingom wiser for it. It just strikes me that masking everything with an easy solution and paying for it with people's lives is... a very timely metaphor. And the way back is gonna be difficult. 3/3 #AI #folklore #mythology

Nua-#CelticSoulJourney in #Ireland: When Becfhola attempted an assignation to the hero Crimthann, the queen of Tara instead met Flann ua Fedach and spent an enchanted night with him on an island in Lough Erne. When she returned to Tara, it was as if no time had passed, for she was living in the #Otherworld in #fairy time with Flann, who soon came to take her away. Source: P.
