The extended hot spell has given us bazillions of butterflies on the Cunnigar at the moment. I was literally getting mobbed by clouds of them at one point. They are particularly attracted to the Sea Holly and Ragwort. #waterford #butterflies #biodiversity #ireland

The Gods and Their Croziers @godsandcroziers@pagan.plus · Jul 23, 2026
Today was meant to be when I published the first issue of The Dagda, the much-loved #Irish "Ollathair" or Great Father god who appears in the Book of Invasions. Specifically, this issue would be dealing with "Saint" Deaglán/Declan of Ardmhór ("Ardmore") in #Waterford, but also "Saints" Earc and Dubhthach. Sadly, the issue is not ready, and won't be tomorrow or the day after. I won't be skipping it, because 🥁Dagda📢, but it's gonna be a few days late. I may put out a forerunner email (subscribers only maybe) with some preamble - some discussion of key papers I can refer to in the issue, to save word-count on the issue itself. If you're missing your fix of #Dagda-related writing, he's mentioned or discussed in various guises in several previous issues, such as Brigit/Brighid, Moling/Aengus, Bréanainn/Midir, and of course the Mórrígan and Eithne/Boann: https://buttondown.com/godsandcroziers/archive/

The Bishop's Palace Museum in Waterford, Ireland covers Waterford�s history and notable people from 1700 to 1970. It is part of the Waterford Museums and definitely worth visiting. #WaterfordMuseums #Waterford #Ireland https://backpackandsnorkel.com/Ireland/Day6/#566
