Celtic Mythology -- Ireland
Unfortuately, not too much irish mythology has made its way onto the net. I havefound one excellently done translation of the tale of MacDatho's Pig.
http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/soc/grads/paul/irish.htm

Extractions: I think the main reason I am a Celtophile is becuase of the gorgeous Irish mythological tradition . My favorite series of Irish myths are contained within what is called The Ulster Cycle . Unfortuately, not too much Irish mythology has made its way onto the net. I have found one excellently done translation of the tale of MacDatho's Pig . Just recently, someone pointed out to me an online translation of Tain Bo Cualgne The Cattle-Raid of Cooley , one of the real classics. A few more Celtic tales , less attractively displayed, are avialable via gopher. For more information about Ireland and links to other interesting Celtic sites, I have to recommend click here to return to my homepage. This page is maintained by Christopher Paul cpaul@ucla.edu ).

The Old English words faery, fairy, faerie, fay, fey, fae, come from the Old French words fée and féerie. Throughout this story we will use the spelling "faery." Faery includes one or all of the supernatural beings of the magic land of Faery. And yes, we know that fairy is the more usual modern spelling, but faery is also correct, and the Irish poet William Butler Yeats, who is quoted below, uses that spelling, and we're not about to argue with him about the use of the English language, so there!

Camelot Vault - Player Editorial
The Races of Hibernia in Classical irish mythology. Lurikeens are identifiablenot in the irish mythology but rather in folklore as Leprechauns.
http://camelotvault.ign.com/editorials/hiberniaraces.shtml

Extractions: Dark Age of Camelot Player Editorial The Races of Hibernia in Classical Irish Mythology Written by: Earwin February 25, 2001 Alan M. Lewis' editorial on elves is a very good summary of the contemporary view of elves as represented in fantasy literature and RPG games. However it is also interesting to consider the Hibernian races in DAoC and their relationship to classic Irish mythology and folklore. The objective here is to be true to the mythology and not to historical facts. Ptolemy's Geography clearly establishes Hibernia as Ireland. Of the four Hibernian races in Dark Age of Camelot two, the Firbolg, and Celts are quite easy to place within the context of the classic myths. Elves are somewhat more difficult since the term Elf is not commonly used in Celtic mythology. I will attempt to demonstrate that a compelling argument can be made for identifying Elves with the Tautha de Danaan, the People of the Goddess Danu. Lurikeens are identifiable not in the Irish mythology but rather in folklore as Leprechauns.

Extractions: Links I've compiled the following links to share with the world all the nifty stuff I find, and also so I don't lose them. The Kuzari Argument The Kuzari Argument is an argument used as proof that the miracles in the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) occured. To briefly summarize the argument: People will not falsely believe that their ancestors actually witnessed (rather than just believed) a supernatural event. The reasoning is that people will reject a false belief regarding a supernatural event that their ancestors witnessed on the basis that they would have heard it from the previous generation. Therefore, the supernatural events in the Torah that were believed to have been witnessed by the population of Israelites must have occured. However, as D.S. Levene points out, the argument has theoretical problems and counter-examples in Greek and Roman mythology can be found. Gidon Cohen contributes a counter-example in Irish mythology, which is still believed by some people today.

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ASTROARCHAEOLOGY : RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

http://www.astroarchaeology.org/research/

Extractions: This programme would scientifically investigate the controversial question of astronomical design in Irish megalithic sites from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and later periods. The progarmme has three proposed goals: To develop and field-test a methodology and a user-friendly software application for the scientific investigation of astronomical alignments at megalithic sites. This would involve the use of hand-held GPS (Global Positioning System) technology and (gyro-)theodolites for site surveys, followed by the use (and/or development and testing) of an integrated 3d GIS (Geographical Information System) mapping software application. The GIS application would be loaded with (a) an accurate 3-dimensional map of the area under investigation, (b) the precise geographical co-ordinates of particular monuments obtained by GPS, and (c) the precise azimuth windows of particular passages and of alignments between locally inter-visible monuments, obtained by theodolite measurements during the site survey. Once this information was entered into the database, the software would then generate, for specified map co-ordinates and azimuths, point-of-view images displaying the accurate relation of celestial events (such as Solsticial and Equinoctial sunrise and sunset, major and minor lunar standstills, helicacal rising of major constellations, etc. ) calibrated for the relevant time period with GPSU and/or other astronomical software) to the actual contours of the locally visible horizon as seen by an observer at a particular site.

2000 Martin Byrne (click to enlarge). PROPOSED RESEARCH PROGRAMMES B. ASTRONOMICAL REFERENCES IN irish mythology The objective
http://www.astroarchaeology.org/research/mythology.html

Extractions: The objective of this programme would be to carry out a systematic search for astronomical references in Irish mythological texts and related local folklore. (See the historical background page in the Context section for details.) Scholarly analysis of mythological material from Sumer, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Maya and other cultures appears to indicate the existence of overt and covert astronomical references in the adventures of Gods, Goddesses and heroes. These references are often related to calendrical cycles of growth and decay, and to the association of historical events (such as the founding of cities or the fall of civilisations) with particular astrological configurations. When interpreted in their proper mythological context, such references can shed light on the astronomical knowledge and interest of ancient peoples. Since some of the Irish mythological material and local folklore is thought to include pre-Celtic Neolithic content, and the major dates of the Celtic calendar (Solstices, Equinoxes and cross-quarter days) are all astronomically-based, a systematic search for hidden astronomical references in the translated and untranslated Irish mythological texts might yield interesting clues about the astronomical interests and knowledge of the people who built the megaliths.
