For, at the setting of the sun, Brian and Ur and Urba breathed out their souls into the light, and these moved swift to Flathinnis, the holy island where are gathered all the souls of heroes. Yet on their way to join the innumerous deathless dead, they halted once, for they heard a thin voice crying upon the wind. It was the voice of Turenn their father. In one great grave before the mighty dun the four were buried, erect, and sword in hand. And on a slab midway in the vast cairn of stones that was erected thereon was writ in branching Ogam the names and glory of Turenn and his three sons. For three days the people wept. Then, as the wont was, Enya of the Dark Eyes decreed the funeral games | (pron. e w-har, aw-guhr, BREE-ahn, yew-ha-var) The Six Sons of Dishonour: identical gods who take the form of young boys with long curly yellow hair, wearing cloaks of silk, gold brooches and shields. The Sons of Tuirenn: Flame. Iuchar: Key, the tallest and fairest, who was turned into a hound with his brother Iucharba: Flax, the swiftest, by Brían: Flame. They killed the goddess Luaine: Moon with shame and her fiancé murdered them by fire. They chased the magic pig Cian: Clear Water resumed their human form, stoned Cian to death, attempted to bury him six times, but only managed to cover him with a mound on the seventh attempt. They were then cursed by Cian’s son Lugh: Moon to go on a journey to receive: three gold apples, pigskin, spear, chariot, Falinnish Hound of Iruad (pron. Irr-ua) and cooking spit. They left Brug Na Boinne: Milk House, Newgrange taking Manannan Mac Lir: Son of the Sea’s boat and sailed to Isberna: the Hesperides: Evening Star (pron. hehs PEHR uh deez) home of the Titan daughters of Hesperis: Evening. The brothers turned into hawks and stole three magic golden apples that tasted like honey and cured sickness from the Garden in the East of the World. They then stole King Tuis: Pig’s magic pigskin and Brían killed him. In Persia Brían killed Pisear: Prince Charming and stole a magic spear. King Dobar: Otter of Sicily was murdered for a chariot and Brían graciously received seven magic pigs from King Asal: Pig and hound. Brían put on a waterdress and a transparency of glass around his head to walk on water, found Inis Cenn-fhinne, charmed 150 maidens for a magical cooking spit. When Lugh found out all the brothers had left to do was make three cries off a mountain he prepared for the Cath Maigh Tuireadh: Grain Harvest Plain of Frost (pron. Moytura) and put the spell of oblivion upon them. They pleaded Lugh: Moon to heal their wounds from the mountain gods in the invocation of the sun, moon, and stars. Lugh did not comply and they died. Brennos Brían & Brother Belinsum the gods to whom the Celts attributed their victories at the Allia and Delphi, sons of Tonuuenna: New Sea Wave, who conquered Gaule and sacked Rome. As a single god Smertius is a Gaulish god portrayed as a muscular, bearded man brandishing a torch at a snake. He is a consort of the goddess Ancamna. A dedication to him is beneath Notre-Dame. As Ogmios he is the god of eloquence who is a giant skilled in speech and poetry. He is represented with chains connecting him to the ears of people who follow and is a binder god who leads souls to the Otherworld. He creates the system for the learned in Gaule. He writes the first message in Ogam (pron. OH-yam): seven b’s on a birch, sent as a warning to Lug mac Elathan, meaning: your wife will be carried away seven times to the otherworld unless the birch protects her. Lebor Ogaim tells the tradition that all letters were named after trees. Ogham text is read beginning from the bottom left-hand side of a stone, continuing upward, across the top and down the right-hand side in the case of long inscriptions. Inscriptions written on stemlines cut into the face of the stone, instead of along its edge, are known as scholastic, and are of a later date, post 6th century. Ogma carries twelve operations which correspond to the twelve constellations of the zodiac. The knowledge of these constellations being of Babylonian origin. Ogma ordered by Bres: Moon to bring firing every day to Islands of Mod. He captures Tethra: Sea’s Sword and goes on the quest for Daghda’s Harp: Dur da Bla: Oak of the Two Cries. He is the ogre seen with the harp Jacques et Les Haricots Verts: Jack & the Beanstalk. He is give a síd after the Milesian: Honey victory. Christianity replaced him with Saint Pierre (de Lune: Lugh) who is celebrated on Lugnasad, at the beginning of August.(6, 24, 53, 58, 60, 97, 126. 246) |
