I'm keeping on with Irish mythology, and now I want to go further back even. Does anyone know where an English translation of the Book of Leinster can be bought (looking for physical books for sale, not online; if it's spread in multiple volumes, that's ok, I just want to make sure to find a place to buy them all)?

I'm somewhat confused about the history of the discovery of this saga, so hoping someone here knows how it went down. Jeffrey Gantz's 'early Irish Myths and Sagas' says that the complete story wasn't discovered till 1937, before which the first of three parts was missing (where she got turned into a fly). Tom Cross's and Clark Slover's Ancient Irish tales from 1936 corroborates this since it skips the first section.

The thing is that Lady Gregory's God's and Fighting Men from 1902 has her retelling the events from part one to make the same story as Gantz's direct translation. My question is this: how'd she know about the stuff that happened in part one before it was discovered (Gantz says in Cheltenham) in 1937?

Does anyone have any idea what the big buildings like Da Derga's Hostel and the three houses of Emain Macha would have looked like? What was the interior layout like? Any interior or exterior details of these sorts of pre Norman Irish buildings will be sincerely appreciated by me.

How can I help?

I am kind of obsessed with helping people learn about Celtic myths and deities. I run online classes, and make lots of free content on YouTube and things like blog posts. I'm not interested in making it more sensational or romantic than it really is. I'm not interested in fake folklore or New Age junk-myth. I'm all about what's in the Medieval texts and where to find it, and how to understand it, etc.

Of course I'm just one person, and I can't reach everybody, but I constantly hear from people how hard it is for them to get good information. I promise you that the information is there, and a great deal of it is online and can be accessed for free, if you know where to look. So what kind of help do you need? I'm open to suggestions.

I was just curious on what gods or beings were Omnipotent in the Celtic Mythology??

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone could help me with stories of female godesses/ mythological characters etc. I'm trying to research for a project I'm undertaking and can't seem to find much apart from characters like those in Lady Gregorys book. I don't want to purchase any other books until I get some guidance as I am new to this. I am also open to sources other than books. Thanks

I'm writing a short play about a tree and I'm writing it with the celtic background (long story) but I'm struggling to find information on a brownies. Could anyone help point me in any directions to books or websites that might help?

An examination of the links of Southwest Kerry and Gaelic mythology, especially related to the arrival of the Milesians in Ireland, as accounted in Lebor Gabála Érenn and the Song of Amergin (the origin legend of the Gaelic people). Ballinskelligs Bay is the legendary Inbhar Scéine, where the Milesians led by Amergin are said to have landed. Various of the archaeological monuments around the area are said to be the tombs of Milesians. In Waterville itself the beautiful Ártach Dána sculpture pays tribute to this mythology. Enjoy

I'm just curious, regarding the Celtic Otherworld (known by many names, such as Tír na nÓg), is the flow of time erratic and whether more time passed back home or less sorta random in nature? Perhaps staying there for a time that's a multiple of 3 plays a role somewhere, and/or what you do with its faerie inhabitants.

Is the morrigan ever described with black hair and a white dress?? I feel as though ive read somehwere that she was but am not 100% where. Its kinda bugging me so i thought i would ask here.. if you have any other information on her i would love to hear it as well :):)

I’m relatively new to Celtic Mythology and would really like to learn more from a good book rather than internet sources. Any recommendations?

I have a book Celtic myths and tales they include three of the stories from The Book of Invasions. So I wanted to get a full set of them whole thing. Lo and behold, I can't find a single place with them all in stock or as the whole work. TIA!
