Abcán

According to Irish mythology, the Tuatha Dé Danann, the ancient Celtic deities of Ireland, included the dwarf poet and musician Abcán (spelled Abhcán nowadays). It was rumoured that he owned a bronze boat near the Assaroe Falls with a tin sail.

The dwarf Abcán is the one who transports the goddess Ruad from the Otherworld to this one in the Ruad death story, so that she can entice the human Aed Srónmár. She jumps into the water, drowns, and hears mermaids singing—or, in other versions, music from a fairy mound.

In another tale, Cúchulainn the hero, captures Abcán. He sets himself free by lulling the warrior to sleep with such an irresistible melody.

The dwarf musician Fer Í and Abcán are very similar, and Abcán may even go by a different name.

The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore says he's either a god or not.

Happy Samhain everyone! It's only two am where I live right now but I'm planning on doing a few things at the very least for today but I'd love to hear what other people have planned! My night as been very interesting so far as my cat managed to catch a mouse which is sort of just really weird timing, I'm a little brain dead right now since I haven't gone to bed yet so if there's a significance within mythology I'd love to know!

My plans for right now are to just work on a reading list of sorts and then probably head to bed for a couple of hours

🎭 this isn't an easy answer for me. i've been out of it for so long that i've barely read, and i genuinely cannot remember which books i used to love other than various ya series. maybe there were none, and i just never read much. anyway, i choose the books that i wrote, instead. i wanted to get them published but then my brain fell into ruin, and i haven't made progress since. still, i managed to write them and i have them waiting in my files for when i'm ready, and they are the most important and defining books to me in recent times. possibly ever. :)

Abaçaí

Indigenous peoples are invited to dance, sing, and celebrate by the spirit known as Abaçaí, who lives in the forests.

The Abaçaí, according to Tupi mythology, lives in the wilds of the forests and possesses indigenous people who detach themselves from their group, sending them into a rapturous trance where they lose consciousness.

A spirit that the evangelization and European perspective attempted to eradicate, ignoring the global culture's innate need for escape, in an attempt to turn him into a "evil genius".

This spirit was one of the most dangerous evil spirits because it could transform into any animal, person, or object. Abaçaí claimed the souls of indigenous women who were virgins.

*Deh₂nu

*Deh₂nu- is a hypothetical goddess of water in Proto-Indo-European mythology, with connections to the names of rivers like the Danube, Don, Dnieper, and Dniester, as well as the Vedic deity Dānu, the Irish Danu, and the Welsh Dôn. Despite acknowledging a possible lexical connection, Mallory and Adams contend that there is not enough evidence to support the idea that a distinct river goddess existed in Proto-Indo-European beliefs. They primarily highlight the Indic tradition's understanding of river deification. Furthermore, Mallory and Adams suggest that a theory for a sea god called *Trih₂tōn—whose name is derived from the Greek Triton and the Old Irish word for sea, trïath—is unsupported by the lack of a corresponding sea god in Irish mythology and only minor lexical similarities. The Ossetian god Donbettyr is also mentioned in the story. Who is placated by gifts to keep the waterwheel turning, and who Donnán of Eigg proposes as a Christian equivilent of this figure.

Moreover, this deity and the Dan river in Centeral Asia may have similar etymologies.

She is frequently seen as the mother of a mythical tribe, the *Deh₂newyóes, in many Indo-European cultures; these tribes are deduced from the Vedic Danavas, the Irish Tuatha Dé Danann, the Greek Danaoi, and the Norse Danes. Under Bel's leadership, this tribe is said to have fought a hero called *H₂nḗrtos, which could connect them to characters like the Norse god Njord, the Nart from the Nart saga, and Indra's epithet nrtama.

Abarta

In Irish mythology, Abarth (Ábartach, Ábhartach, the one who creates deeds) is a god belonging to the goddess Danu's tribe.

One day, Abarth shows up in Phenicia's leader Finn McCullough's camp dressed as a man looking for work. After putting Abarth to work for him, the latter calls him "lazy servant" (Gialla Deacair). Abarth responds by giving a capricious grey horse to the wife of an Irish soldier as a token of his affection. However, the horse moves and gallops the riders to the afterlife after Abarth and fourteen warriors saddle it. Abarth accomplishes his original plan in this way.

Finn is able to reach the afterlife and release his soldiers from captivity with the aid of Foltor, the greatest Irish tracker.

A'akuluujjusi

In Inuit mythology, A'akuluujjusi is the goddess of creation. She is a primordial goddess and the mother of the creator. It is said that she threw her clothes on the ground and created land animals. The animals that were first produced were flawed and rife with mistakes. For instance, walruses had antlers, and caribous had vicious tusks. She evetunally corrected these errors to create the more aestheically pleasing animals that we see today.

'Ain Samiya goblet

In a tomb at Ain Samiya, close to present day Ramallah, Palestine, a silver cup from the Middle Bronze Age I (2300-2000 BC) was discovered. It is known as the "Ain Samiya Goblet." It shows a double-headed god planting crops with an animal body and holding parts of a dead serpent with two male figures. The scenes are said to show a draft of the Enuma Elish, the babylonian creation epic, and the victory of Marduk, the patron god of Babylon, over Tiamat. The goblet bears similarities to modern representations of the Babylonian captivity, such as the Khafaje plaque, and exhibits evident Mesopotamian influences on Proto-Canaanite culture.

Being Romani I've personally always had a more natural talent for divination as it's a practice that's very sacred to us and is a practice passed on to each next generation by our drabardi, unfortunately most of my family never made it out of the camps so a lot of those traditions from my ancestors have been completely lost time. It frankly bothers me a lot but I think my focus for November is to try and reconnect with my ancestors and my Romani culture

Abhimanyu

Arjuna and Subhadra were the parents of Abhimanyu. He belonged to the Kuru dynasty. He was Hastinapur's heir until his death at the age of sixteen on the thirteenth day of the Kurukshetra War. Parikshit, his son born after his death, succeeded him as heir and ultimately as king.

Abhean

In Irish mythology, Abhen is both an artist and a poet. A poem by Fland Meinstrich in Lebor Gabala Eren claims that Óengus killed him in front of Meder.

The name could have originated from the Proto-Celtic b * Ad-bej-ānos, literally meaning "striking man," or it could have also referenced the idea of scraping a harp.

Abezethibou

A one-winged demon named Abezethibou inhabits the Red Sea, schemes against all the winds beneath the sky, and opposes Moses.

Excerpts from The Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology:

Abezethibou claims in the Ament of Solomon that he was once seated in the first heaven, known as Amelouth. He was there when Moses was brought before the Egyptian pharaoh and was called upon to support the Egyptian magicians in their attempt to discredit Moses. Abezethibou claims credit for inciting the Egyptians to pursue the Israelites during their exodus and for turning the pharaoh against Egypt. Abezethibou is trapped with the pillar of air when the Red Sea splits and falls in on the Egyptians. The demon Ephippas then comes to take him to King Solomon. Solomon gives Ephippas and Abezethibou the command to hold the pillar aloft until the end of time after tying them to it—possibly a reference to the Milky Way.

Abderus

In Greek mythology, Abderus (meaning "the son of battle") was the son of Hermes and Opus. He was Heracles's male lover.

After learning that Abderus had been eaten by the man-eating mares belonging to the Bistonian king Diomedes, Hercales constructed the city of Abdera in honor of his beloved.

Abas

The son of Hypermnestra and Lynceus was King Abas of Argos. His two sons, Acrisius and Proetus, followed him as king after his father's death. Following their father's death, his children ruled in turns until Acrisius banished his brother. They had battled while still in their mother's womb. Acrisius was forced to give Proetus half of the kingdom when he returned with an army, dividing the Argolid in two.

Abaris
