#FolkloreSunday #Celtic: `The Three Gods of Art (‘Trí de Dána’) settled in an area called Magh Rein, on the borders of Co Cavan and Co Leitrim. From there, it’s not a long trek to Corleck Hill, where a carved stone head with three faces was found.`
„#Brigid’s festival was known to have been celebrated with huge fires on Corleck Hill at Imbolc. Even more intriguing, the Corleck head was not the only such idol to have been discovered there.
The Stone Head of Brigid was said to have been worshipped as a triple deity at a shrine on top of the nearby Hill of Drumeague. Interestingly, her triple aspect celebrated her skills as a poet, a smith and a healer, rather than the typical maiden, mother and crone of womanhood, and thus we see another connection with the crafts of the Trí de Dána.“
