The Wild Hunt is a nonprofit news journal, providing the latest news impacting Pagans, Heathens, Witches and polytheists worldwide since 2004. (They/Them)
A project to apply comparative mythology to Celtic-Christian Hagiography to undo the layers of "Interpretatio Christiana" that rendered the Celtic gods into Saints. Focusing mostly on the Irish saints and Gods, but with wider relevance to how we understand Celtic, Norse, Mediterranian, Ossetian, Iranian, and Indian traditions.
The St.Déaglán / #Dagda issue of The Gods and their Croziers is (finally) out!
https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/july-24-the-dagda-as-sts-deaglan-earc-dubhthach/
In this issue:
- Exploration of several alternate Dagda names in hagiography, including Earc, Dubhthach, and Fergus.
- Some of The Dagda's key godly domains, including as Sky Father and Thunderer
- Some Cosmogonic and Narrative roles of the Sky Father and Thunderer gods
- Deeper thought about exactly what Sky he represents, and a model where he's more specifically the God of the Liminal sky of Dawn and Dusk
