Some say the Milesians are a mythical people while others proclaim they are the ancestors of the Celts. Their story is one rich with intrigue and history. To settle in Ireland, they first had to overcome the supernatural race that occupied the land.

Could 15th century poetry have an antidote for toxic positivity?

So, toxic positivity. If you haven’t personally encountered it, you might be thinking, “J, you absolute drill bit, how could positivity be toxic?” Just roll with me on this. What’s toxic positivity? Eat a healthful diet and exercise regularly, and that’s healthy. Obsessively count calories and jog for hours to burn off every meal, and that’s an eating disorder. Play video games to relax, and…

This poem is modeled after “The Song of Amergin”, an Irish poem with many different translations; it is thought by some to describe the divine in all things, and I have taken that as my inspiration. The poem above shares that concept and I have titled it “The Song of the Wild Hearth”.

Current brainworm, none of the Celtic cultures' creation myths have survived, even though they almost certainly had one. The closest we have is the Lebor Gabala Erenn from Irish mythology, but it isn't a creation story, it records the various settlements of Ireland, ending in the Gaels. However, it is thought that there are reflections of an earlier creation myth in the LGE and in the Tain, and there are similar themes that validate that the Gaels at least viewed the creation of the landscape in this way from various other stories. Additionally, we can compare other Indo-European creation myths to figure out what elements the Gaelic creation myth almost certainly would have had. These include:

Before creation, there is a void of some kind

In that void, fire interacts with water/ice to create the first life

A primordial bovine, most likely a cow (bulls were more common in IE cultures that emphasized pastoralism over crops. The Romans had a she-wolf, because they had to be edge lords)

One primordial being or possibly a set of twins who are sustained by the milk of the cow

One of the twins/the primordial being is dismembered to create the physical world

So already we have the makings of a general creation story, and if you're familiar with Norse mythologies, you might recognize it. In fact, it's thought that the Norse creation myth has retained the most elements of the original IE myth

However, scholars point out that the primordial being that is killed is called *Yemo, meaning "twin", which means there was likely originally two first beings. In the one sacrificing the other, the act renders the brother doing the sacrificing as the First Priest, who creates the concept of death, but in doing so turns that death into the living world. The sacrificed brother is then typically rendered as the First King and Ruler of the Land of the Dead. By setting up this order for the world, the First Priest establishes that life cannot exist without death (whether it be harvesting crops or butchering livestock), and typically, these myths continue and establish the role of the priests in society, who's job it is to ensure the continuity of the original sacrifice and maintain the living world

Now, here's where we get into my speculation;

I think it's likely that the Irish creation myth involved a set of twins. Off the top of my head, I think that possible reflections of this can be found in the brothers Amergin and Donn and in the Donn Cuailnge and Finnbhennach from the Táin. With Amergin and Donn, Donn insults the goddess of the land and is drowned. In doing so, Donn becomes a god of the dead and all the souls of the dead have to gather at or pass through Tech Duinn. Amergin however, secures the support of these goddesses and is able to go on and give order to the Gaelic rule of Ireland by deciding who will rule what and serves as the Chief Ollam (bard) of Ireland. In the Táin, after the main Plot has gone down, the Donn Cuailnge and Finnbhennach fight and the the Donn Cuailnge ends up killing Finnbhennach. As the Donn Cuailnge passes through the landscape, pieces of Finnbhennach drop off his horns and form/name part of the landscape. I think it's also interesting how in both these stories, one of the duo is explicitly associated with the color white (Amergin is called "white knees") and the other one is dark, but the opposite one dies first in the stories

Also, if we look at myths like the creation of the Shannon and the Boyne rivers, where in the goddesses Sionnan and Boann, respectively, die in the rivers' creations, we further see that the death of one figure to create an element of the landscape is a relatively common one, so a creation story similar to the one I hypothesize the Irish had wouldn't have been outside of pagan Irish belief

Additionally, if we look at the duíle, kind of like the Irish elements/natural features, we see that the nine elements/features are each explicitly associated with body parts. Stone is associated with bones, the sea with blood, the face with the sun, ect. I think this could be a call back to that earlier creation myth

Off the top of my head, that's what I've been mulling over. Idk, I might be completely off the mark, but if anyone wants give their thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I'm certainly not an expert in Irish mythology and there may be some key factor that completely sinks this idea

We didn’t manage to pull anything off for New Year’s this year, so I’m trying to do a little bit for Orthodox New Year’s Eve to make up for it. I’m not sure anymore how it started but bagels and lox is one of our informal meals for Christmas morning and/or New Year’s Eve.

I am the sea blast

I am the tidal wave

I am the thunderous surf

I am the stag of the seven tines

I am the cliff hawk

I am the sunlit dewdrop

I am the fairest of flowers

I am the rampaging boar

I am the swift-swimming salmon

I am the placid lake

I am the summit of art

I am the vale echoing voices

I am the battle-hardened spearhead

I am the God who inflames desire

Who knows the secrets of the unhewn dolmen

Who announces the ages of the moon

Who knows where the sunset settles

—The Song of Amergin

AMAIRGEN

Amairgen, sometimes known as Amergin, was one of the first Irish druids, which were ancient priests in Celtic lands. He came to Ireland with the Milesians. These children of Milesius, who was a leader of the Celts that lived in Spain, were believed to be the ancestors of the present-day Irish. Having defeated the divine rulers of Ireland, the Tuatha de Danann, the Milesians could not agree on which of their leaders should be king. Two sons of Mil, Eremon and Eber, contested the throne and for the sake of peace the island was divided into two kingdoms, one in the north, the other in the south. However, peace was not to survive for long, and renewed fighting between the followers of the two brothers plunged the country once again into dreadful strife. The fighting came to an end only with the death of Eber. Amairgen then installed Eremon as High King of Ireland at Tara. Even then conflicts still occurred because of the ceaseless rivalries between lesser rulers.

Has anyone on here read "A God Who Makes Fire – The Bardic Mysticism of Amergin" and if so have you any opinions on it? The name is a little off-putting but it seems to be the only thing I can find that gives an insight into the Cauldron of Posey. So if you read it please let me know if it is worth anything from a historical or recon point of view
