Artist Statement : "Art is a bridge to the spirit. My sculptural work exists so that others can use it as a bridge to share my feelings and to explore the depths of human tenderness, strength and fragility. The aim of my work has been to develop expressive forms that create the need to touch. Our sense of sight is closely associated with our sense of touch. To combine both successfully doubles the pleasure of a work. My method is to carve directly into stone, wood and clay. I like my pieces to retain their character so that they are still recognizable as pieces of stone or wood." ...

Travel You are in: Home Topics Irish Mythology The mythology of pre-Christian Ireland did not entirely survive the conversion to Christianity, but much of it was preserved, shorn of its religious meanings, in medieval Irish literature, which represents the most extensive and best preserved of all the branches of Celtic mythology. Although many of the manuscripts have failed to survive, and much more material was probably never committed to writing, there is enough remaining to enable the identification of distinct, if overlapping, cycles: the Mythological Cycle, The Ulster Cycle, the Fenian Cycle and the Historical Cycle. There are also a number of extant mythological texts that don't fit into any of the cycles. Additionally, there are a large number of recorded folk tales that, while not strictly mythological, feature personages from one or more of these four cycles.

Ireland Irish Mythology Irish mythology, folk tales and history is separated into four cycles - the Mythological Cycle, the Ulster Cycle, the Fenian Cycle and the Historical Cycle. These cycles define important events in Irish history, from the Invasions of Ireland by the various Celtic tribes, to the division of the country into the five Gaelic provinces of Ulster, Leinster, Meath, Connacht and Munster, which (with the exception of Meath) are still used in the administration of Ireland. Within the early cycles are the stories of legendary heroes such as Cu Chulainn and Fionn Mac Cumhaill , while the historical cycle outlines the lineage of the High Kings of Ireland up to Brian Boru in the 11th Century. Cu Chulainn Cu Chulainn was a mythical Irish warrior and champion of Ulster, also referred to as Cuchulainn, Cuchullain and Setanta The great Irish hero Cu Chulainn is to Irish Mythology, what Achilles is to Greek Mythology. Both brave warriors were undefeatable in battle and both were demi-gods. Cu Chulainn was the most prominent of Hero of Ulster and his story is told largely in within the Ulster Cycle of Irish Mythology. Fionn Mac Cumhail Fionn Mac Cumhail or Finn MacCool was the legendary Irish warrior/hunter who led the band of Irish warriors known as the Fianna and created the Giants Causeway.

RETURN TO CONTENTS IRISH MYTHOLOGY wgdavey@zianet.com Overview Preface Irish mythology is enormously wealthy but is both fascinating and frustrating. The fascination lies in the age of its documentation, its magnitude, and its variety; the frustration lies in the extreme fragmentation that makes it so difficult to see a coherent picture. The stories of the entry into Ireland probably reproduce much of the early movement and conflicts that were surely part of early Indo European history. The wild enthusiasm and zest for life shown here probably reproduces the spirit of the original Indo Europeans when they swept out of southern Russia to conquer much of the world. Thus, in this regard, the Irish stories are perhaps the most faithful survivors of the stories of six or seven thousand years ago and match the better-known Norse and Greek myths in style and excitement. The Celtic Entries into Ireland and Britain It is useful to compare what we know of the entry of the Irish and Welsh speaking Celts into Ireland and Britain since they are quite different in character. In the Welsh case we have well attested evidence of the time and the reasons for their movement into Britain. Although some of their peoples were present much earlier, to a large degree the later movements were because of the pressure from the Roman under Julius Caesar in 55 BC. And there are abundant historical sources that show the movement of these P-Celtic peoples into southern Germany, France, Spain, northern Italy, and the lands further east.

Irish Citizenship QUICK LINKS: Baby Names St. Patrick Recipes Web Design ... Fun Facts Search Ireland Now Mythology of Ireland Irish Mythology Dagda's Harp The Faerie Kings The Human Hounds ... Saint Patrick The Irish mythological cycle can be divided into four major divisions. The first is the historical-mythological cycle. Two important texts are part of this cycle: the Leabhar Gahbala (Book of Invasions), a mythological history of Ireland; and the Dinnshenchas (History of Places), a mythological geography of Ireland. The main theme in the historical-mythological cycle concerns the peopling of Ireland and the fortunes of the Tuatha De Danann (People of the Goddess Danann), who were the mythological ancestors of the Irish. The Tuatha are described as demigods; they are beautiful people, possessed with skill in music and the arts. They are always spoken about within a context of fabulous magical powers and wonders, which define the essence of their manifestation. A central theme in the myth of the Tuatha is that of the Second Battle of Mag Tuired. During the First Battle of Mag Tuired the king of the Tuatha, Nuada, is wounded. Because he is now physically blemished, he can no longer serve as king. The kingship is then given to his adopted son, Bres. Bres's father is a king of the Fomoire, a group of people with whom Nemed and his people had fought in previous times. Bres's mother, Eriu, is, however, a Tuatha. The choice of Bres is apparently an attempt to accomplish an alliance between the Tuatha and the Fomoire.

Home About Us Ireland The Bohdran ... Partner Websites Irish Mythology There is A LOT of mythology surrounding Ireland and the Irish and they are probably as well known for this as for their Guinness! However, Irish Fairies are probably among the most well known and well loved of all of them. The Dullahan is one of these fairies and is particularly well known in the counties of Sligo and Down. Legend has it that at around midnight at times of Irish festivals this black hooded horseman can be seen riding a dark horse across the countryside. It is said that this fairy has a head that is not joined to its body and as such as only limited powers of speech. It is allowed to speak once on each journey it makes and then it is only to state the name of the person whose death it is foretelling. The Dullahan will go to the door of the person that this is and call their soul to him when he states there name. It was also said that he may stop on the exact spot the person was going to die. The Pooka is another Irish fairy and one of the most feared! He may have many guises and will go around after nightfall creating havoc and mischief. It is said that one if his more usual forms is that of a black horse with bright yellow eyes and a flowing mane. In this form he will break down fences, scaring livestock and trampling crops. In county down he takes the form of a goblin and is said to demand a share of the crops from farmers. For this reason in this area there will often be a strip of the crop left after harvest and this is known as the 'pooka's share'.
