Extractions: Article index The Renaissance of Irish Mythology By Stormrider Irish mythology was an oral tradition until the arrival in the 5 th century C.E. of Christian missionaries who introduced the Roman alphabet and adapted it to the Irish language. Besides recording the Christian religious writings, the monks also began to write down the stories they heard from the people. Ireland is still one of the few countries where Pagan religion was never entirely supplanted by the Christian religion. On the surface, Christianity may have appeared to be more powerful, but in reality the two faiths have always quietly coexisted in a fairly amiable way. The English began to colonize Ireland in the 12 th century. By the 18 th century Anglo-Irish literature dominated Ireland. This was written by Irish-born writers of English descent, the ruling class of the country. Gaelic was dismissed as the language of the uneducated peasants. Likewise the legends and myths were considered unimportant. An educated man might spend years studying the "classic" mythology and language of the Greeks and Romans while completely ignoring an equally rich pantheon and mythology of Celtic tradition in his own homeland. A few manuscripts of mythology existed while many more had been destroyed. The stories of the Gods, Goddesses and Heroes were kept alive only by the country people sitting before their peat fires in their simple cottages. By the late 19 th century a few men and women became interested in Irish culture and literature. A revival of the Gaelic language and new interest in folklore and old traditions began. These literary and cultural interests were linked with the movement for Irish political independence and freedom from British rule. Studying and appreciating Irish history and traditions became a matter of national pride for the people who had lived for so long with the attitude that everything Irish was inherently inferior.

Extractions: ost of us seem to generally view our mythology as one large panorama of glorious wonder tales. We seldom consider the wide panoply of action and telling of the tale that must have taken centuries or perhaps millennia to unfold. We lack the ability to bring our Hero's of the past into any kind of historical context. Such a short-sighted view limits our understand of the marvelous mystery of our myth, and occludes much of the glory of our Irish Celtic heritage. Of course, myth is generally vague by its' nature. Usually it embodies the stories of ostensibly historical events in a manner which attempts to describe the world view of a people in a specific period or explain cultural practices, beliefs (including religious) and natural phenomenon. Thus it is partially a product of bias on the part of its authors and even more subject to the bias of its reviewers. Over a period of time, when old and fading copies of manuscripts are being written in fresh intelligible print, the re-recording scribes could, and frequently did, make certain "corrections" of the original to fit their current belief system. Major alteration is especially apparent in the available recordings of Pre-Christian Irish myth. An early redaction might include "explanatory" glosses in the margin which, in a later redaction still, would become part of the body of text. Even worse, some scribes in their Christian zeal would alter the copy to reflect their own privately held convictions. Others eliminated material they disagreed with or worse, created new material that vastly altered the content.

Extractions: Gobhniu is thought of by most to be the Irish god of smith-craft. He is noted for his spears, weapons that never miss their mark and are always lethal. But like most things Irish, it's a wee bit more complicated and like a good riddle, of which the Irish were particularly fond, the complexities aren't obvious at first glance.

Extractions: The fruits of a foray into a centre of learning of an ancient people (University College, Cork) by the most scholarly of wenches, Lady Lionors, alias Tracey Rosenberg The study of Celtic mythology and religion is difficult for modern scholars because of the dearth of comprehensive sources. The scattered material that does exist is often complicated by the influence of other cultures, thus forcing the researcher to analyze "impure" information. However, scholars have been able to piece together coherent theories of Celtic religious and mythological thought through data from the continent as well as from the islands of Britain and Ireland (the "insular" sources). Continental and insular sources, while not interchangeable, are compatible for discussions of a widespread Celtic tradition, thus increasing their scholarly value. Availability of sources varies greatly, as does their usefulness. For example, knowledge of Gaulish mythological tales or religious beliefs are non-existent, as the Gauls wrote down neither their tales nor their rituals. (Typically Celtic, the Gauls were an oral culture, much to the loss of modern research.) In contrast, Irish mythology has been preserved through manuscripts of early Christian monks. However, these are far from complete, thanks to the Viking invasion of Ireland in the ninth century. During the so-called Dark Ages, an age of golden enlightenment in Ireland there were numerous Tech Screpta, or great libraries, in the country. There are frequent references to the enormous amount of Irish manuscript books. At the end of the eighth century, however, the Vikings began their raids on the country, Entire libraries were looted or destroyed.

Extractions: Jeffrey Gantz, translator/editor, Early Irish Myths and Sagas (Penguin Classics, 1988) Ella Young, editor, Celtic Wonder Tales (Dover Publications Inc., 1995) Lugh. Brigit. Conare. Chulaind. The Tuatha de Danaan. These names evoke the wonder and vitality of Irish mythology, a subject which fascinates many of us, and has inspired many a poet or author. These two collections present those with an interest a wide spectrum of stories there is remarkably little overlap but with a completely different focus. Gantz, holder of a Ph.D. in Celtic Languages and Literatures, takes a decidedly scholarly tone with his collection. In a lengthy forward, he provides a summarized history of the Celtic peoples, Irish storytelling and written manuscripts, and the mythology itself. Though a bit dry in the reading, the material is useful for placing these versions of the stories into their proper historical and literary context. He also includes a decent bibliography and brief footnotes for each of the stories. Each story is preceded by a short introduction further documenting the particular manuscript Gantz translated, and referencing any literary works (William Butler Yeats in particular) drawn from the story. According to the introduction, Gantz limited the selection, for space reasons, to those of the Mythological and Ulster cycles. The stories themselves are a good mix of romance and adventure, joy and sorrow. Among the more recognizable are "The Wooing of Etain," "The Boyhood Deeds of Cu Chulaind," "The Wasting Sickness of Cu Chulaind," and "The Destruction of Da Derga's Hostel." Though the prose is a bit dense to pick through, the tales are themselves enjoyable.
