Painting of a boggy area in Ireland. The light changed so fast, and even rained off an d on (can see droplets on the painting)

The dolls' house in the drawing room came from Newbridge, Donabate; it was probably made by the estate carpenter there in the eighteenth century. Inside there are three great empty rooms and, above child height, utilitarian shelves. Desmond Guinness has commissioned miniature copies of Irish furniture to furnish it once more.

Series: Irish Country #16Author: Patrick TaylorPublisher: Forge BooksReleased: October 12, 2021Received: NetGalley An Irish Country Yuletide is the sixteenth novel in Patrick Taylor’s Irish Country series. To be fair, I accidentally jumped right in the middle of this series (whoops!). But honestly? I have no trouble following right along. Oh! And don’t forget, this book (and series as a whole)…

Not to sound overly optimistic or idealist but watching all of these countries and peoples that suffered under colonial violence for years like South Africa, Ireland, Brazil etc. team up to prosecute zionists for their crimes is actually the most powerful and hopeful shit I've seen in a while. A new world really is possible and it's already happening.

Visiting a country from your ancestral history is life changing… couple more to check off that list after this😉

See, I personally find this quest to find pagan/pre-Christian elements in Welsh/Irish literature quite unnerving - I don't know about anyone else.

There's something to be said about genuinely discovering pre-Christian elements in a narrative or story and that being where evidence and study has led you. But I see some people on this fruitless quest to find pagan elements in very Christian texts and sometimes it feels like if no pagan elements can be found, people start making stuff up out of whole cloth - and that can be very dangerous for already not-well known texts in minoritised languages!

There's already so much misinformation out there about Irish/Welsh texts and literature in general - so it hurts to see people carelessly adding to the misinformation either out of ignorance or lack of respect for the source material.

I promise you the source material being Christian doesn't ruin it - you can in fact, enjoy these myths without making them into something they're not!

The pedimented mantel in the hall comes from Ardgillan in County Dublin and is made of Kilkenny marble. Combined with the arms of the Gorges family of County Meath, set within, it provides a focal point in the hall and a fine setting for the fire that burns continuously through the winter months.

A lovely battle between Basque dance association Oinak Arin from Beskoitze (Lapurdi) and the Irish dancers of the Gohery school of dancing. Filmed last summer.

The Basque and the Irish sharing our special connection again!

How do you think Rachel Smythe, creator of Lore Olympus would fuck up your country's mythology/gods if she did a lore olympus-esque webtoon of it?
