On our visit to Dublin, I had to go & see the statue of Cรบ Chulainn by Oliver Sheppard RHA at the GPO ๐ธ
The art depicts Cรบ Chulainn after he ties himself to a standing stone to die on his feet, facing his enemies. It is only when a raven lands on his shoulder that his enemies believe he is dead ๐
So why Jayne, were you so arsed about this? Well readers, the raven on your manโs shoulder there is no other than The Mรณrrรญgan herself! After winding him up for most of the Irish epic Tรกin Bรณ Cualinge (The cattle raid of Cooley), she finally lands on his shoulder, signalling the end of Cรบ Chulainn! ๐ฆโโฌ
Now reader, you may think Iโm mad for what Iโm about to say but bear with me! As a devotee to the goddess, I have an absolute ball with her! Sheโs depicted as a scary, bloody thirsty menace & although she is that, she also has a fantastic sense of humour! If youโve had a reading with me or a meditation circle youโll know, sheโs a case! ๐ฎ
Now, the reason Iโm telling you this? Look at the picture that i took of the statue! I was too busy looking at the statue that Iโve only just noticed the bus in the background! HOP ON! FFS I love her ya know ๐คฃ
Anyway, if youโve made it this far thank you, Go raibh maith agat ๐ค
