In ancient times past, Lugh of the Long Arm created the Tailteann Games in honor of his foster mother Tailtiu; these Irish games culminated at Lunasa, where winners were celebrated alongside the fallen and new laws proclaimed; they were reborn in modern times. #WyrdWednesday

Tailtiu was said to have cleared the fields of Ireland until the exhaustion killed her. Her foster son, Lugh began a tradition of funeral games called the Tailteann in her honor.

Still doing the online National Gallery curse about modernism.
Most people know that Jack B Yeats won Ireland's first Olympic Medal - a silver for his painting The Liffey Swim - but I didn't know Oliver St John Gogarty won a bronze Olympic medal for Ode to the Tailteann at the 1924 games also.

According to Irish tradition, Tailteann Games were held during Lughnasadh in memory of Tailtiu, the foster mother of Lugh, who died after clearing Ireland's forests so they could become fertile farmland. Athletic contests, music, and trade transformed grief into celebration. #WyrdWednesday

In Irish cycling, the 5-day Rás Tailteann starts tomorrow in Drogheda, and inspired by @geotdf.bsky.social I'm aiming to do a daily post looking at the geology crossed or passed by the riders. This year the route passes lots of interesting geology - I hope I can do it justice! 1/4
