Possible inspiration for Messmer

I don’t know if anyone’s come to this conclusion yet (tbh ppl probably have but ima continue anyway) , but I have a possible inspiration for Messmer: Méche and his three serpents.

There are a lot of different cultural myths that inspired Elden ring, and there’s a lot of Irish inspiration too, and I cannot read about Méche and not think Messmer was inspired by him. For instance:

“Berba — into it the three snakes which were in the heart of Méche, son of the Mórrígan, were cast, after he was killed by Mac Cecht in Mag Méchi.”

Okay, for starters, Méche is a (supposed) son of the Irish goddess of war called the Mórrígan. The issue with his birth is, as stated above, is that he was born with three snakes within his heart (or he had three hearts with a snake in each but same thing), and well doesn't Messmer also have three snakes? his two outer ones and the abyssal serpent within,

And don't get me started on the whole naming convention of Mórrígan/Méche and Marika/Messmer. But sadly for Méche this was a big no-no due to his snake's destructive nature, and as a result, they killed him and his snakes, but there's also a little more I want to delve into:

Berba (Poem 13)

The Barrow, enduring its silence,

that flows through the folk of old Ailbe;

a labour it is to learn the cause whence is called

Barrow, flower of all famous names.

No motion in it made

the ashes of Mechi the strongly smitten:

the stream made sodden and silent past recovery

the fell filth of the old serpent.

Three turns the serpent made;

it sought out the soldier to consume him;

it would have wasted by its nature all the kine

of the indolent hosts of ancient Erin.

Therefore Diancecht slew it:

there was rude reason for clean destroying it,

for preventing it for ever from wasting

above every resort, from consuming utterly.

Known to me is its grave where he cast it,

a tomb without walls or roof-tree;

its evil ashes,–no ornament to the region

found silent burial in noble Barrow.

(The Metrical Dindshenchas)

So, in this description, they describe how they 'buried' his ashes in the river Barrow, and they describe it as a sort of cleansing of his snakes due to the water being ' a tomb without walls or roof-tree.'  It kind of speaks about the water's purifying nature of the serpents' corruption. Why am I bringing this up?

Well, another major theme about Messmers' area in-game is that everything is randomly flooded; there's water everywhere around the keep (ok maybe not everywhere but u get what I mean) there are flooded areas of just water and I even think under there that there's something to do with a corpse of godwyn beneath one of the flooded areas but don't trust me 100% on that, anyway, the presence of water and especially flooding his keep and the places around it kinda calls back to Méche and his death, but idk it's probably just a coincidence since still water already has meaning in the main game with the whole scarlet rot thing and all, but I just thought it was interesting to mention.

The Irish Gods pt. 1

After reading several texts, I've painted this picture of the Irish gods.

There is the war god Net. His descendants procreate with his granddaughter Ethniu. She has 7 sons: the smith, the carpenter, the wright, the physician (Dian Cecht), the king (Nuada), the druid warrior (the Dagda), and the god of every skill (Lugh).

Elatha, Net's grandson, is a Fomorian king. He is father to Bres, the Dagda, and Ogma the champion; though, one text makes Ogma the son of Ethniu.

The gods lived in islands in the northern parts of the world where they learned all their magic, sciences, and art.

They invaded Ireland. They sailed there, and clouds shielded their arrival.

They had four treasures: the cauldron that everyone left satisfied from, the spear no one could defeat, the sword that nothing could escape from, and the stone of destiny that shouted when the true king of the land put his foot on it.

They battled the Firbolg, the existing inhabitants, for Ireland. The Morrigan and her sisters cast clouds and rain of fire and blood over the Firbolg. The gods defeat the Firbolg. (The Firbolg and gods have common ancestors).

Nuada loses his hand in battle. A blemished king can't rule. Bres is made king in hopes his Fomorian side would render the Fomorians under the gods' power.

The smith god made a silver hand. Dian Cect attached it to Nuada, making a working silver hand.

One text says Bres was a bad king. He chose the Fomorian side of his family. He made the Dagda build forts and Ogma carry wood. There was no food or drink at his court. The gods were taxed heavily, and all their wealth went to the Fomorians.

Miach, Diancecht's son, restores Nuada’s real flesh hand, unburying it, attaching it, and restoring it completely. Nuada is able to be king again. Diancecht was upset at Miach, so he killed him. From his grave grew healing herbs. His sister gathered the herbs on a cloth, but Dian Cecht mixed them, and their healing knowledge was lost.

A poet made a satire about Bres. It embarrassed him and brought him dishonor. The gods told him they wanted to remove him as king. He went to his dad Elatha for help to battle gods. Elatha refused. Bres went to the Fomorian Balor for help. (Balor is the war god Net's son).

Meanwhile, Balor's grandson, Lugh, son of Ethniu and the god Cian (Dian Cecht’s son) comes to the god's court. They don't let anyone in without a skill. Lugh was the only one that had all the skills put together. They let him in. He was stronger than Ogma, and Nuada put him in charge of the war.

The Dagda slept with the Morrigan at the mouth of a river. Afterward, she gave him war intel and told him her plan: to kill one of the Fomorians. (Some texts say the Dagda and Morrigan are married to each other).

The Dagda’s daughter, Brigid, is married to Bres. She owns the king of the cows and king of the pigs. They cry out when Ireland is being plundered. Her son with Bres is a spy. The son is killed by the gods, and Brigid is the first to cry and scream in mourning in Ireland.

The war was on. Dian Cecht and his kids made a healing well, filling the water with herbs. Anyone wounded who bathed in it was healed. Only people with their head cut off or brains bashed in could not be healed. The smith god and his brothers magically repaired the gods' weapons by the next day of battle.

Lugh defeated Balor in battle. Balor had an "evil eye." Whatever it looked upon was destroyed. Lugh hit the eye with his sling shot. The eye shot through the back of Balor's skull and killed several many Fomorians.

They spared Bres' life if he agreed to teach them the times to plant and harvest.

Nuada had died in battle, and Lugh was made king.

Ambiuolcios - Imbolc

It is a festival of lights in relation to the first rays of sun which announce the first quiverings of spring. It is also a rite of purification (the very name of the festival means "lustration") and fertility which prefigures Belotennia and which takes place on a date as close as possible to February 2. This is the moment when life resumes in nature, the rivers swollen with water by the rains and the melting snow sweep away the slag of winter. It is also the appearance of snowdrops, the birth of lambs and kids, the start of lactation of females. The seed prepares to give birth to the future plant. The greening grass announces that life was only in gestation in the nurturing belly of the Earth.

At the same time, at this time of the year, families and clans had very few outside activities, and life took place mainly within households that were managed by women.

It is therefore an essentially feminine, maternal, lunar festival. It is associated with water and resurgent light and takes place at night and it is women who officiate.

This feast, celebration of the Mother Goddess, is placed under the benevolence of Brigit/Brigantia ( 1 From Gallic: brigantion / brigant- (eminent, elevated), from Sanskrit: brhati (high, noble), from Old Breton: briantin ( person of high rank). Celtic term to evoke what is eminent, high. Very common in the names of oppida located on heights, Brigantium (Briançon, Briençon, Briant, Briantes, etc ...), in the name of certain peoples (Brigantes, Brigantii, …) and rivers (Brian, Briance, Briande, etc…), who is at the same time, Mother, Sister and Daughter of the Gods, daughter of Dagda. She is also the mother, the wife and the sister of Lug, Dagda, Ogme, Nuada, Diancecht and Mac Oc, of the Gods of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and was the wife of a Formori, Bres, with whom she had a son, Ruadán.

She is known by various names and is capable of transforming into any form she wishes. It is symbolized by fire, that of inspiration for poets, the fire of the Earth which allows health and fertility, the fire of the hearth which is used for the forge. She is therefore the Mother Goddess of Arts, Medicine, Magic and War, she is the patroness of Druids, Bards, Vates and blacksmiths, and she is invoked at birth. It therefore participates in the three traditional Celtic functions.

Imbolc original celtic art of Hamish Burgess

The feast is the symmetrical counterpart of Lugunaissatis (because it is a constant of feasts to each have their symmetrical opposite, their opposite which comes to balance it six months later), when the Earth, tired by the harvests , had become a virgin again. For Ambiuolcios, the Goddess, like the Earth, are still virgins but both have again become fertile: the virgin Goddess is then the prefiguration of the Mother Goddess. As such, she is also the Goddess of fertility, and therefore associated with Nature, at the time of her correspondence with the seasonal and agrarian cycle. It is the beginning of Spring.

Ambiuolcios, however, seems to be a bit of the unloved celebration of the Celtic-Druidic festival, the one on which we find the fewest testimonies, survivals or devoted study pages. We underestimate it a little insofar as we do not find many traces and we do not know much about it except that the Christians recovered it, according to their habit. , and consecrated to St Bridget. It has often been felt that it was perhaps not very important or/and that it was only intended for the 3rd function, that of producers.

Some authors, however, put forward a more attractive theory: the other Celtic-Druidic festivals are essentially known thanks to Christian copyists who nevertheless only left what they wanted to show through. If almost nothing is known about Ambiuolcios, could it not be because it was such an important esoteric festival, or a mainly feminine festival that Christians would have tried to suppress all memory of it?

Found on pinterest unknown author

The most representative rite of the holiday is the purification: "to wash the feet, the hands, the head".

It is generally accepted that Ambiuolcios is a lustral feast intended for purification after the rigors and stains of winter. But the celebration also symbolically corresponds to the initiatory awakening and the preparation that will lead to the Renaissance of Beltaine. It is an initiatory celebration of a primordial passage.

Purification is done in two ways:

It is known that the performance of each ritual requires prior purification. We therefore understand that this purification is all the more necessary when it is a real initiation ritual. And on this precise occasion, the purification becomes the rite itself.

• by water (and it is clearly specified here, “to wash the feet, the hands, the head”),

• by Fire: Ambiuolcios is a celebration where fire plays a key role since it symbolizes the Sun, source of heat and light. In addition to its purifying role, it is also the protector of men and animals (the festival is also known as the “candle festival” and these candles, sometimes torches, have remained in certain customs: processions, etc.)

Imboc Altar

In nature, Ambiuolcios corresponds to the first assimilation of the sown seed which is integrated into the ground. The wheat germ is therefore the promise of the field which will flourish under the sun of Lugunaissatis.

If the days are getting longer, however, we notice that winter still exerts its influence on the earth. Nevertheless, the seeds that had slept within it began to awaken to new life: it is from the depths of darkness that light is born, as it is from death that life is born.

Imbolc-wordsmithextraordinaire.wordpress.com

It is therefore a celebration of the opening of life, already contained in the bosom of the Earth and it is the return of the sun which will allow these seeds to give in summer the expected fruits and harvests.

Moreover, it is around this theme that revolve all the customs relating to the pancake that we have been able to keep: toss the 1st pancake with a silver coin in the other hand, toss this 1st pancake on the top cupboard and keep it there all year round, etc.

It must also be said that the pancake had a multiplier effect, so to speak: made with flour, eggs, milk, it was the hope of have these products in abundance all year round. Finally, often, in the past, the peasants invited their neighbors to come and eat pancakes to have a good harvest or to protect the wheat from disease. "Taste of every food in order, that is what one must do in Ambiuolcios. Wash your hands, feet, head, that's how I say it."

Faithed Encounter

Here is the rewrite of how Indigo and Calvin met, and the start of rewriting Shelter. Enjoy!Art in this chapter  by @jj-pines/ @pinetreejam

Indigo and Calvin's first official meeting; 7 years before Rowan's Enrollment

Calvin either join Bridgehid College at the best time or the worst time. He may be an extrovert but being in a new place with those he has never met, makes him feel overwhelmed. He’s only supposed to be the blacksmith, making all the mages and alchemists associated with the college weapons and equipment, and maybe the resident healer. He didn’t think he would get invited to a grand social event, but here we are, Sir Calvin Bookstone being accosted by a sea of “possible suitors,” attempting to be the next person in his bed, which did not please the handsome healer/blacksmith. He’s not fond of hearing the same lines over and over again, along with the touching, he is happy for his cloak now.

“Thank Diancecht,” he huffed, holding on to the balcony railing, “maybe I should have married Diem, then I wouldn’t get hit on so much.”

“Merde, il y a trop de gens,” a silk France voice sighed.

“Right,” Calvin chuckled, “I don’t know so many people were a part of this university.”

He looked over to the opening of the balcony, which made his brain stop. The woman he was greeted with was tiny, pale, and inhuman. Pointed ears, pixie cut hair color light turquoise, with two long pieces in the front that framed her face, one of those pieces (the right one), was a lavender color. Her eyes are this beautiful dark blue color and held a soft glow in the dark of night. She wore a pink and white ombre, long, off-the-shoulder dress. She looked so elegant yet is in something so simple.

“I am surprised someone else knows French,” she chuckled with a smile.

“Mhm, I like learning new languages,” Calvin replied, as she approached him, he could see her many tattoos and scars that were on her shoulders and upper chest.

“You are the new magic and alchemy blacksmith, non?”

“Yeah, I am also that new healer it seems, Calvin Bookstone.”

“Surprised we have not seen each other yet; I am the new magical law and ethics professor, Indigo Corals.”

Calvin took her small hand and kissed her knuckles, “A pleasure to meet you.”

“Likewise,” she sighed with a smile.

She’s ethereal as if she is a goddess, he’s being drawn to her. He seems different than all the other women that he has encountered this evening, “What has you out here other than the people,” Indigo asked, beginning to approach the stairs of the balcony leading to the gardens below, he can see angel wing tattoo, on her back, poking out of the top of her dress.

“I’m a bit overwhelmed,” Calvin answered, having this feeling to follow her.

“Introverted?”

“I don’t believe so,” He replied, “I think it is the amount of people I don’t know.”

“Mhm,” Indigo hummed, walking along the dark cobblestone path with her hands behind her back, “so if you knew more people you would be in your element?”

“Yes.”

“Have you even introduced yourself to anyone,” she asked, turning to look at him as he walked behind her.

She smirked as his tan face became flushed, “one person.”

“One person,” Indigo laughed

“Well, two people,” Calvin replied, “I met one of the alchemy professors tonight and his husband, thank you very much!”

“Sloan and Casper,” Indigo chuckled, “I have known Sloan for ages, we were in classes together when we were scholars here.”

“He seems a bit older then I am,” he remarked.

“Calling me old,” she asked with a smirk.

“No, no, no,” Calvin gasped, “I didn’t mean it that way!”

“Calm down, big boy,” she chuckled, “I am just a young study. Sloan is 5 years older than I am.”

“Mhm,” Calvin hummed.

“And if I can remember what admiration said, you are 2 years older than I am.”

“So, you are a young professor, who has studied here, and you are close with the admiration,” Calvin observed, “you are a very interesting one, Ms. Corals.”

She approached the gazebo in the middle of the garden, she looked so goddess-like and made Calvin shiver, “I try,” she chuckled, as she walked to stand on the white wood of the gazebo, “your quiet interesting yourself.”

“How so?”

"Well," Indigo sighed, as she began to stroll around the gazebo, running her hands along the railing as Calvin seemed to follow her but on the outside of the gazebo, "you come from a nuclear family, mother, father, big sister, and little brother. You seemed to travel to Marquis island on a whim, all the way from Luxembourg -ha, that's why you know French. You were a nurse on the mainland and were on track to be a doctor. You seemed to have everything before relocating here, you even have a fiancé whose name is Die-"

"Had a fiancé," Calvin interrupted, "Diem and I are not together anymore, much to my mother's dismay."

"Can I ask why," Indigo prodded, "was it misunderstanding, falling out of love, or something worse?"

"She..." he paused for a moment, although Indigo seemed intrigued and concerned, "she cheated on me," he let out a laugh, "among other things."

"I'm so sorry..."“What makes it worse is that everyone around me knew, my mother, my sister, her parents, our friends, and no one told me,” he sighed.

“Will this Diem is very foolish,” Indigo remarked, crossing her arms atop the railing and resting her chin on them, “to let someone like you go. If I had you, I wouldn’t let you go.”

Now that has piqued Calvin’s interest, “if you had me?”

Indigo nodded and she stood straight, “Anyone would be lucky to have as a partner. You are the type of person that is kind, loving, gentleman-like, and a bit protective, just based on what I know,” she explained, descending the gazebo steps, “that’s not a partner I would like to let go.”

“You sound like the people inside,” Calvin remarked, becoming slightly annoyed.

“Well, I didn’t say all that just to bed you,” Indigo replied, standing in front of him, with her side to him, “I say all that because it’s true.”

Calvin raised an eyebrow, she looks like she is challenging him with her narrow eyes and crossed arms, which has a part of him intrigued, “If I wanted to have sex with you, I wouldn’t be only stroking your ego. I am not that type of woman.”

“What would you do if you were trying to bed me?”

Indigo smirked, stepping incredibly close to him, “I would make sure I had you consent and then possibly make it happen, or maybe tease you until you get the hint and make the move yourself.”

“And how would you make it happen,” he asked, she is continuing to intrigue him.

“Is that you giving consent, or you simply asking,” she questioned.

“Both.”

The young mage hummed, slipping under his cape, and running her soft hand slowly up his arm, “how much muscle does one need to be a blacksmith,” she asked innocently.

Her single touch is almost too much, “It’s not about muscle it is about skill,” he said, surprised that he didn’t struggle or stutter.

“So they are for show,” Indigo asked, her other hand running up his other arm.

“Mostly to pick up little ladies like you.”

She chuckled, and he’s falling apart, “mhm, I’ll allow you to call my little if I am allowed to kiss you.”

“Is this a part of making it happen?”

“It can be, or maybe I just want to kiss you.”

“Yes,” he sighed.

It was intended to be short, a simple small kiss. Something that would leave him wanting more, but Calvin isn’t about to let her go now. It’s shocking how a man that isn’t too keen on starting another relationship is now being enthralled by this tiny, inhuman, mage woman. She’s cold as he wraps his arms around her, simply from the winter air, but he pulls her in closer and holds her tighter as if he is trying to protect her from something.

When she pulls away from him, his internally disappointed, but ever the gentleman he lets go, still keeping his hands on her waist, “I…I’m,” Indigo chuckled, hands planted on his chest, “I’m sorry.”

“why are you apologizing,” Calvin laughed.

“Because I want to do this properly,” she sighed, “date and all.”

“Is that a part of making it happen?”

She laughed as his hands leave her waist and go for the strings on his cloak, “not always.”

“Oh, so I’m special,” he remarked with a smirk, draping the black and pink cloak over her shoulders.

“Most definitely.”

“I look forward to it.”

They smile at one another, before heading back up to the balcony, “when can I expect to be wooed properly,” Calvin asked.

“If I told you that then it wouldn’t be as fun would it now,” Indigo answered, “I know all the places you stay, I’ll be able to find you, and return your cloak.”

He grabbed her hand before intertwining their fingers “I am not worried about the cloak,” leaning down to be level with her ear, “but if that’s the reason I see you again,” he whispered, kissing her cheek, “until then.”

With that he left her, spotting Sloan and Casper and beginning to talk with them, while Indigo went back to her parents and aunt, “where did you get this,” her candy red-haired aunt asked, taking a break from watching her brother and sister-in-law dance together, “I didn’t make this.”

“Non, you didn’t, Antoinette,” Indigo replied, “the new healer gave to me.”

Indigo pointed slightly towards the mixed man, holding a bright smile and light pink eyes, talking to Sloan, talking with his hands and more so his body during the conversation, his long black curls moving ever so slightly as his body shifted. He’s dressed in all black with his chest exposed because of his shirt’s crisscross pattern in the front. He’s muscular and looks intimidating almost, looks nothing like the healers Indigo has known, “thought he had a fiancé,” Antoinette remarked.

“He doesn’t not anymore,” Indigo simply replied, “and she is not very intelligent to let him go.”

“Oh,” Antoinette looked over at her cherished niece was holding a smirk still staring at the blacksmith-healer, “you have the same look that your father had when he saw Amethea from the first time. You’ve already claimed him haven’t you.”

“Not necessarily, Cuchulainn is just being kind to me,” the mage replied.

Antoinette chuckled, “just like your father.”

“I guess we both just know what we want.”

“And what is that?”

“Will it’s more then a want it’s something that will happen.”

“Again, which is?”

“I will marry that man!”

[irelandseyeonmythology]

Been reading Lady Gregory's Gods and fighting men, which I know isn't the best source for irish mythology but a character named Corann was mentioned in association with Ceis Corran, a harpist. I can't really find many sources for this and was wondering if you knew?

The wonderful thing about Lady Gregory is that there's very little she INVENTED. It isn't like many of the sources made in...the last 50-60 years or so where you have to actively ask whether there's a medieval source for what she's saying. She was a master at what she did, welding together folk sources that she collected, along with medieval and early modern material, utilizing basically the full corpus of what was available at the time. (Hence why, say, there's no Duanaire Finn material in Gods and Fighting Men -- it hadn't been edited/translated yet.)

...the not-so-wonderful thing is that, because of the way it's structured, and because of scholarly conventions at the time (and the fact that it was actually viewed as more of a children's book than a scholarly book)......well. You have to do some digging at times to figure out WHERE she got something from, and sometimes she merged different sources together to create what is, functionally, a Frankenmyth. (Diarmaid and Gráinne is the biggest offender here, possibly.)

So! To the chase!

Here is the relevant section from Gods and Fighting Men, in the Dagda's section:

And Corann was the best of the harpers of the household; he was harper to the Dagda's son, Diancecht. And one time he called with his harp to Cailcheir, one of the swine of Debrann. And it ran northward with all the strength of its legs, and the champions of Connacht were following after it with all their strength of running, and their hounds with them, till they got as far as Ceis Corain, and they gave it up there, all except Niall that went on the track of the swine till he found it in the oak-wood of Tarba, and then it made away over the plain of Ai, and through a lake. And Niall and his hound were drowned in following it through the lake. And the Dagda gave Corann a great tract of land for doing his harping so well.

Now, for the bigger question: Where the fuck did Lady G get this?

And it turns out that this is from the Dindshenchas collection (which...not to say that the Dindshenchas contains EVERYTHING, but if you're looking at obscure material having to do with land and land names that sounds totally weird from what you're used to, the Dindshenchas is always a good bet.)

It's known as the Dinnshenchas of Mag Corainn, it's found in two manuscripts, included in both the Edinburgh Dindshenchas list and the Metrical Dindshenchas.

Here is the Metrical Dindshenchas recension, in prose (ed. and trans. Edward Gwynn):

Magh Coraind, cidh diatá? Ní ansa. Corann cruitire do Dhían Cécht mac in Dagdha, rogairm-sidhe asa chruit Cáelchés do mucuib Dreibrinne, & roreith-sidhe fothúaidh íar nirt a cnámh, & roreth cúanart Olnécmacht & al-laechradh ina díaidh conice Céis Chorainn, & is desin atá Céis Chorainn & Magh Coraind.

Mag Corainn, whence the name? Not hard to say. Corann, harper to Dian Cecht the Dagda's son, called with his harp Caelcheis, one of Drebriu's swine. And Caelcheis ran northward as fast as his legs would carry him; and the hounds of Connaught and their soldiery pursued him as far as Ceis Chorainn. Hence come the names of Ceis Chorainn and Mag Corainn.

Now, for the Edinburgh Recension (ed. and trans. Whitley Stokes):

Irish

Mag Coraind, cid dia ta? Ni ansa. Corand cruitire sidhe do Dianche[ch]d, mac in Dag[hd]ai, go roghart sein asa croit Cælcheis do mhuccaibh Dreibrinde. Roraith

fothuaidh a niurt a chnamh, roraith a niurt retha læchradh Ollnegmacht & a chuanart ’na deghaidh, go rige Ceis Coraind. Unde Ceis [Coraind] & Mag Coraing. Vnde poeta cecinit:

Corand cruitire creachach, mac in Dagh[d]a dianbhreathach. ba guirt fri feis díanim sluind, triana chruit go ceis Coraind.

English

Magh Coraind, whence is it? Not hard (to say). Corann, he was harper to the Dagda’s son, Dianchécht, and out of his harp he summoned Caelcheis, one of the swine of Drebrenn. Northwards it ran with (all) the strength of its limbs. After it ran the champions of Connaught with (all) their strength of running, their hounds following them as far as Céis Coraind. Whence Céis Coraind and Magh Coraind. Whence (also) a poet sang:

Corand, a plundering harper, The swift-judging son of Diancecbt, . . . . . . . Through his harp to Céis Corann.

While some of the place names that we see in the Dindshenchas have been lost, if they were ever in popular usage, Ceis Corann is, thankfully, still in use as Keshcorran, co. Sligo, which is well-known in the present day for its limestone caves. (And for appearing on Assassin's Creed: Valhalla.)

Witchy plants:

🍀 Clover🍀

Clover or trefoil are common names for plants of the genus Trifolium, consisting of about 300 species of flowering plants in the legume or pea family Fabaceae originating in Europe.

Scientific name: Trifolium

Family: Fabaceae

Subfamily: Faboideae

Order: Fabales

Kingdom: Plantae

Tribe: Trifolieae

Spiritual meaning:

The three leaves of a shamrock are also said to stand for faith, hope and love. A fourth leaf is where we get the luck from. The four-leafed clover, or “lucky clover”, is an uncommon variation of the three-leafed clover, and widely considered to be a symbol of good luck.

Planetary connection:

Mercury

Zodiac connection:

Gemini ♊

Virgo ♍

Health benefits:

Bone health

Hormone based health

help with menopause and menstrual symptoms

Helps dealing with hot flashes

Red clover extract specifically has been used in traditional medicine to promote skin and hair health

It's believed clover can improve heart health in postmenopausal women

{ Many believe clover specifically red clover can help with weight loss, cancer, asthma, whooping cough, arthritis, and other conditions. BUT limited evidence shows that red clover helps with any of these illnesses.}

Mythology + superstition:

I'm pretty sure we all know the four leaf clover superstition that originated with the Druids.

The clover is a symbol for Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick.

Some stories came Eve carried a clover from the garden that the Archangel Chamuel told her to take.

The four leaf clover was used to explain king Aengus of Ireland the essence of the Holy Trinity.

In Welsh mythology The Mabinogion the white clover is mentioned as the epitome of beauty. 

The King Arthur-legend Cullwck and olwen also called the twrch trwyth is of King Arthur's nephew, that wants to wed the beautiful Olwen Aka daughter of the giant Yspaddaden Penkawr. Olwen was so beautiful, that she left a trail of white clover in her trail, wherever she went.

Paganism + witchcraft:

Clovers hold a huge symbol in druidism

They are a symbol for the pagan holiday known as Green day which takes back power from saint Patrick's day since saint patrick was a monster.....

The Celtic faith saw a great value in the power of threes so even the common three leaf clover was seen as a protective symbol.

It's believed by many pagans that the fae are linked with clovers but I've found little proof of this other then family superstitious beliefs.

In witchcraft the clover is often used for luck, fertility and protection.

The old Celtic traditions say that someone carrying a shamrock would be able to ward away evil. 

Some divine associated with the clover:

The Archangel Gabriel

Angus Mac Og

Anu

Bel

Fortuna

Blodeuwedd

Tyche

Lleu

The Fae in general

Brid

Archangel Chamuel

Dagda

Diancecht

[loadsofcats]

I foggily remember a part from a Celtic legend, saying how Miach and Airmid, masterful healers and children of Diancecht, also a renown healer, came to the doors of the gods and encountered the god who watched the door of Nuada’s castle. They wanted to come in and introduced themselves as masterful healers. The guardian, lacking an eye, basically told them “You’re healers? Well, then heal this eye that I don’t have anymore/give me a new eye.” This guardian had a cat. Miach and Airmid, like siblings do, looked at each other and went “How about we give you the cat’s eye?” And the guy went “Yeah, that’d be rad, thank you” and they just did it the absolute madlads. I love them so much. It was said that the cat’s eye was sleepy during the day, but awake during the night, when the guardian was sleeping, opening and paying attention to every movement, looking for mice and pests. He was satisfied and told it to Nuada, and the rest would be too long to write here :)

(P. S. This is how it was written in the book I’ve read, which is written in the form of retellings with occasional scientific and/or historical information. Some details may vary, and the book is “Mythology of the Celts”, by Charles Squire, the only book about I’ve managed to get so far, from my local library with a scarce collection about Celtic mythology.)

Celtic Pantheon/Campaigns (5e D&D)(Long Post)

Okay, so I’m just going to get this out there, because every time I glance at the Celtic Pantheon in the PHB I do giggle a bit. Mind you, it’s not anyone’s fault, but a couple of centuries of academics bundling stuff together under ‘Celtic’ has mightily confused just about everything, and it really shows here.

(Note: I have no academic qualifications regarding Celtic mythology/history/folklore whatsoever, I’m just Irish and grew up with a lot of the Irish myths and legends as a kid. This also means I know very little about the Welsh and other Celtic myths, just to say that in advance. This is all just what I’m familiar with from growing up and a little bit of research, and might have errors)

This post is also brought to you by my idly scanning lfg posts for Celtic campaigns and seeing a lot of historically inspired Celts-vs-Romans campaigns which is … doubly funny to me if they’re using the PHB pantheon list. This is because, as you’ll see in a minute, the majority of the PHB list uses the Irish gods and we … didn’t have those. Romans. We didn’t have them. So. Heh.

(We had Roman traders, especially around the Waterford area, it’s a relatively quick hop over from Wales/Cornwall, and we have evidence of Roman … tourists, probably? There are Roman offerings at various Irish prehistoric religious sites, in the Midlands especially. So we did have Romans, in the sense of we met them, but we didn’t have Romans, in the sense of invasion by the Roman Empire)

So. The thing about the PHB ‘pantheon’. It’s kind of borrowing gods from several different Celtic pantheons. ‘Celtic’ covers a lot of distinct regional cultures that are believed (I think for primarily linguistic and archaeological reasons) to be descended from an original proto-Celtic culture. For extra fun, there aren’t many primary historical sources for most of them, as in Celts writing about themselves and their faiths. Most of the texts we have are either medieval Christian (a lot of the Irish and Welsh) or Roman (a lot of the Gaulish, Iberian, Germanic, Brythonic), so there’s a lot of cross-cultural influence and interpretation muddling it up in there before you ever get to celtic-vs-celtic.

So they’re all Celtic, but they’re all very distinct in terms of stories, culture and the attributes of their gods. There are some gods that were broadly shared under similar names between various of the regional pantheons (Lugh and Brigantia are two examples), although they could be very different in portrayal between, say, the Irish and Gaulish stories. (Where the PHB uses one of these, I’m going with what name they’re using for guidance)

(The various attributes given to them by the PHB are a different muddle of influences again, with I think a lot of it being straight D&D invention, but that’s its own story)

So, to have a look at the D&D breakdown:

5e PHB Celtic Pantheon

Arawn  (Welsh)

Belenus  (Gaulish/Romano-British)

Brigantia  (Gaulish/Romano-British)

Diancecht  (Irish)

Dunatis (???)(Can’t find or remember this guy at all. Only thing I’ve got is that the Irish for ‘fort’ is ‘dún’, so maybe Irish?)

Goibhniu  (Irish)

Lugh  (Irish)

Manannan Mac Lir  (Irish)

Math Mathonwy  (Welsh)

Morrigan   (Irish)

Nuada  (Irish)

Oghma  (Irish)

Silvanus  (???)(Don’t know at all. I’m going to guess continental because I think ‘silva’ is the latin for ‘forest’, hence ‘Transylvania’ or ‘Beyond the Forest’, so the dude has a latin name)(… looking this up, he’s actually straight-up a Roman god, okay then)

The Daghdha  (Irish)(I usually see it spelled ‘Dagda’, mind)

This all shakes out as follows:

Irish: Daghdha, Diancecht, Goibhniu, Lugh, Manannan, Morrigan, Nuada, Oghma

Not Sure/Maybe Irish?: Dunatis

Welsh: Arawn, Math Mathonwy

Gaulish/Romano-British: Belenus, Brigantia

Straight Roman: Silvanus

So that’s more than half the list being figures from Irish mythology. And that … there’s nothing wrong with using them for an Asterix-and-Obelix Romans-vs-Celts sort of campaign. I mean, it’s your own private fantasy game, not a history lesson. Go nuts! It just … reads oddly to me. Heh. Historically speaking, very few people with Irish names calling on Irish gods would have had much cause to fight Romans. Not on any large scale, anyway.

Campaign Inspirations:

I’m going to just say, though. If you want a more historical and/or mythological feeling Celtic campaign. You have a couple of options. I’d say the easiest thing is to just look up the specific pantheons and cherry-pick your gods from there (there’s a handy Wikipedia list here)

If you want continental Romans vs Celts a-la Asterix and Obelix, use the Gaulish/Brythonic list.

If you want Romans vs Celts more along the lines of various modern interpretations of King Arthur, use the Gaulish/Brythonic and/or Pictish lists.

If you want Celtic more along the lines of full Arthurian, Excalibur, BBC Merlin, ‘dragons, druids, knights and romance’, a lot of actual Arthurian legend used Welsh myths as a base, so it’s a nice start, then throw some Brythonic on top (particularly if you want to do an 80s Robin Hood on it and throw in Cernunnos/Herne the Hunter in). If your setting is more of a fully mixed ‘Medieval England’ sort of setting, Robin Hood, King Arthur, etc, you can mix and match a whole bunch of folklore and mythology of various sources, Welsh, Roman, Norse, etc. (Alan Garner is a fantasy author who does this very well, if you want a high-fantasy example)

And if you want Celtic as in Irish myth to match the names …

If you’re going relatively low-fantasy for a more historical feel, use the Irish pantheon, and the sources you want to inspire the setting would be the Cattle Raid of Cooley and the Fenian Cycle/stories of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna. The Five Kingdoms of Ireland (Ulster, Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Meath, with the High King sitting at Tara in Meath) makes a pretty good setting.

If you’re going more high fantasy, like the Arthurian example, use the Irish pantheon, and you want the Book of Invasions and the Battle of Magh Tuireadh as inspiration. Setting elements you can have here are the Five Kingdoms of Ireland, the Four Cities that the Treasures of Ireland came from, Tir na nOg, and the Otherworld. (Note on the four cities and their treasures: they were each guarded by a legendary bard (poet/scholar/mage), so you could go classic archmage wizard or you could throw in some high level NPC bards for fun)

There’s some very cool magic items in Irish myth too, like the aforementioned four treasures, the magic pigskin (waterskin) Lugh had the sons of Tuireann quest for (heals all wounds, but charges of various healing spells per day would probably work), the sword Fragarach (I think other D&D editions had a version, but I’m particularly interested in its sword of truth aspect that forces anyone threatened by it to tell the truth), Cuchulainn’s Gae Bolg spear, aka Belly Spear (which is made from a bone of a sea monster and is nasty – it basically grows barbs/spines once it’s in someone’s body), and basically every item ever owned/gifted by Manannan Mac Lir, who is basically the Irish god of giving away cool magic items (as well as sea god, trickster god, elder god, and the god often in charge of starting quests). If you need a quest-starter god or a god to litter magic items around your world, Manannan Mac Lir is your dude.

If you want a fantasy author that I quite like who does great loosely-based-on-Irish-myth high fantasy, I would say Michael Scott, particularly (from my reading) the De Danaan tales and Tales of the Bard. I also grew up reading Cormac Mac Raois’ Giltspur trilogy, which is an awesome kid’s portal fantasy involving some Wicklow kids winding up in Tir na nOg and fighting the forces of the Morrigan, but that’s pretty much impossible to get outside Ireland, I think.

And I promise I’m not only saying this because I personally feel like a low-fantasy ‘historical’ campaign is about the least interesting thing you could do with any of the Celtic pantheons. Honest.
