Hype for the Future 78H: West Virginia 🇺🇸 and Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 Compared

Introduction Though located in very different parts of the globe, the State of West Virginia in the United States and the constituent country of Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom can appear to have more than just surface-level similarities. While the Scots-Irish settlement was largely associated with the Shenandoah Valley in the modern Commonwealth of Virginia, a number of such frontier settlers would eventually play roles in the development of the modern State of West […]

11 Jan 1612: John Todd ex-#Jesuit & Church of #Ireland bishop of #Down & Connor and of #Dromore is deprived #otd of his sees for collusive alienation of church lands (Ardfern) #Ulster

The island of #Ireland has traditionally been associated with a provincial system, with #Ulster in the north, #Connacht or #Connaught in the west, #Munster in the south, and #Leinster in the east. All of Northern Ireland was Ulster, but not all of Ulster would evolve into Northern Ireland. However, further south within Irish territory, Dublin, the Irish national capital, was once included within the Province of Leinster.

Traditionally, Ireland has contained four (4) distinct provinces. Ulster was in the north, Connacht (formerly Connaught) was in the west, Munster was in the south, and Leinster was in the east.

Hype for the Future 71B: Irish Political Geography

Overview Traditionally, Ireland has been identified as containing four (4) provinces: Ulster, Connacht (formerly known as Connaught), Munster, and Leinster. Today, the island of Ireland is split between the Republic of Ireland and the constituent country of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom. The counties within the United Kingdom are the Counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, and Tyrone. Traditional Provinces Within the island of Ireland, the four traditional Irish […]

#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday #Celtic: `#Deichtine disappeared from #EmainMacha, until the nobles of #Ulster were led by a flock of magical birds to a house, where they were welcomed by the god #Lugh.
He told them his wife was due to give birth soon, and when she did the Ulstermen discovered she was Deichtine.`

Hype for the Future 50L: The Government of Northern Ireland

The Partition of Ireland had been established circa 1921 and effective 1922, in which six (6) of the traditional counties—Armagh, Antrim, Down, Tyrone, Londonderry, and Fermanagh—have remained with the United Kingdom though the remainder of the island had effectively returned to pre-1820 sovereign status, has created a tremendous impact and ripple effect within the situation in Northern Ireland in particular. While most of Ireland is associated with Dublin, Northern Ireland is associated […]

Hype for the Future 50K: Ulster and Northern Ireland Compared

Technically, Ulster could include nine associated Irish counties, though only six of the counties are in Northern Ireland. Donegal is perhaps the most important distinction between Ulster and Northern Ireland, as County Donegal is located at not just the northernmost part of the Republic of Ireland, but also at the northernmost point of the entire island of Ireland. While most of the Ulster Scots were, in fact, settling Northern Ireland, counties associated with the Republic of Ireland […]

#WyrdWednesday #LegendaryWednesday #Celtic: `Once when Fergus mac Léti was out sailing, the #Ulster king was set upon by small water sprites who intended to steal his possessions and drown him. He turned the tables and snatched them up, holding them until they agreed to grant his three wishes. Fergus made only one wish in three parts: He wanted to be able to swim underwater in ponds, lakes, and the ocean. The #fairies agreed, but restricted his powers by saying he could not submerge himself in Lough Rudraige in Ulster.`

#MythologyMonday #Celtic: `Nessa dutifully sat on a flat stone as she was bid by her husband, the #druid Cathbad, and held in all night the child which was ripping her apart to get out. The next morning, she popped out a son she named #Conchobar, after the river he was born beside. Which he fell into as he was born, apparently. Or maybe the power of water birth was well known to our ancient female ancestors. Conchobar went on to be the famous King of #Ulster around whom the tales of the Ulster Cycle revolve.
This was the same Nessa who prior to her pregnancy, single-handedly as a woman raised a war-band of 27 warriors and took off after her father’s murderers with them, intent on revenge and killing.` #Celtic

#MythologyMonday #Celtic: Heavily pregnant the horse goddesses #Macha was forced to race against the king`s horses. She outran them, „but as she came to the goal she gave a great cry, and her travail seized her, and she gave birth to twin children. As she uttered that cry, however, all the spectators felt themselves seized with pangs like her own and had no more strength than a woman in her travail. And Macha prophesied: `From this hour the shame you have wrought on me will fall upon each man of #Ulster. In the hours of your greatest need ye shall be weak and helpless as women in childbirth, and this shall endure for five days and four nights—to the ninth generation the curse shall be upon you.` And so it came to pass.“ #Celtic
