The worship of the God Lug/Lugus in Spain.

The god Lugus is mentioned in a Celtiberian inscription from Peñalba de Villastar in Spain, which reads:

ENI OROSEI VTA TICINO TIATVNEI TRECAIAS TO LVGVEI ARAIANOM COMEIMV ENI OROSEI EQVEISVIQVE OGRIS OLOCAS TOGIAS SISTAT LVGVEI TIASO TOGIAS

The exact interpretation of the inscription is debated, but the phrase "to Luguei" (where the theonym appears in the dative singular following the preposition to "to, for", thus "to/for Lugus") clearly indicates a dedication to the god Lugus.

A well known Latin inscription from Uxama (Osma), Spain:

Lugovibus sacrum L. L(icinius) Urcico collegio sutorum d(onum) d(at)"L. L. Urcico dedicated this, sacred to the Lugoves, to the guild of shoemakers"

[Scholars have long noted the interesting parallel between Lugus being worshiped by shoemakers in Spain and his Welsh counterpart Lleu being represented as a shoemaker in the 4th branch of the Mabinogion].

The plural form of the theonym is also found in the following Latin inscriptions:

Lugo, Galicia, Spain:

Luc(obo) Gudarovis Vale[r(ius)] Cle.[m](ens) V(otum) L(ibens) S(olvit)

Outeiro de Rei, Lugo, Galicia, Spain:

Lucoubu Arquieni(s) Silonius Silo ex voto

Sober, Lugo, Galicia, Spain:

Lucubo Arquienob(o) C(aius) Iulius Hispanus V(otum) L(ibens) S(olvit) M(erito).

The majority of the known inscriptions dedicated to Lugus come from the Iberian Peninsula, perhaps indicating this deity's particular importance and popularity among the Iberian Celts.

Lugus was a deity of the Celtic pantheon. His name is rarely directly at ed in inscriptions, but his importance can be inferred from place names and ethnonyms, and his nature and attributes are deduced from the distinctive iconography of Gallo-Roman inscriptions to Mercury, who is widely believed to have been identified with Lugus, and from the quasi-mythological narratives involving his later cognates, Welsh Lleu Llaw Gyffes (Lleu of the Skillful Hand) and Irish Lugh Lámhfhada (Lugh of the Long Arm).

Etymology

The exact etymology of Lugus is unknown and con ed. The Proto-Celtic root of the name, *lug-', is generally believed to have been derived from one of several different Proto-Indo-European roots, such as *leug- "black", *leuǵ- "to break", and *leugʰ- "to swear an oath", It was once thought that the root may be derived from Proto-Indo-European *leuk- "to shine", but there are difficulties with this etymology and few modern scholars accept it as being possible (notably because Proto-Indo-European *-k- never produced Proto-Celtic *-g-').

Inscriptions

The god Lugus is mentioned in a Celtiberian inscription from Peñalba de Villastar in Spain, which reads:

ENI OROSEI VTA TICINO TIATVNEI TRECAIAS TO LVGVEI ARAIANOM COMEIMV ENI OROSEI EQVEISVIQVE OGRIS OLOCAS TOGIAS SISTAT LVGVEI TIASO TOGIAS

The exact interpretation of the inscription is debated, but the phrase "to Luguei" (where the theonym appears in the dative singular following the preposition to "to, for", thus "to/for Lugus") clearly indicates a dedication to the god Lugus.

Additionally, the name is at ed several times in the plural, for example: nominative plural Lugoues in a single-word (and potentially Gaulish) inscription from Avenches, Switzerland, and dative plural in a well known Latin inscription from Uxama (Osma), Spain:

Lugovibus sacrum L. L(icinius) Urcico collegio sutorum d(onum) d(at)"L. L. Urcico dedicated this, sacred to the Lugoves, to the guild of shoemakers"

[Scholars have long noted the interesting parallel between Lugus being worshiped by shoemakers in Spain and his Welsh counterpart Lleu being represented as a shoemaker in the 4th branch of the Mabinogion]

The plural form of the theonym is also found in the following Latin inscriptions:

Lugo, Galicia, Spain:

Luc(obo) Gudarovis Vale[r(ius)] Cle.[m](ens) V(otum) L(ibens) S(olvit)

Outeiro de Rei, Lugo, Galicia, Spain:

Lucoubu Arquieni(s) Silonius Silo ex voto

Sober, Lugo, Galicia, Spain:

Lucubo Arquienob(o) C(aius) Iulius Hispanus V(otum) L(ibens) S(olvit) M(erito)

Nemausus (Nimes), France:

Rufina Lucubus v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito)

The majority of the known inscriptions dedicated to Lugus come from the Iberian Peninsula, perhaps indicating this deity's particular importance and popularity among the Iberian Celts.

An inscribed lead plate found in Chamalières in France includes the phrase luge dessummiíis, which has been tentatively interpreted by some scholars as "I prepare them for Lugus", though it may also mean "I swear (luge) with/by my right (hand)".

Toponyms and ethnonyms

His name was commemorated in numerous place-names, such as Lugdunum (Celtic *Lug[u]dūnon, "fort of Lugus"; modern Lyon, France), capital of the Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis. Other such place-names include Lugdunum Clavatum (modern Laon, France) and Luguvalium (modern Carlisle, England). It is also possible that Lucus Augusti (modern Lugo in Galicia, Spain) is derived from the theonym Lugus, but Lucus in that place may in fact be purely Latin (lucus = 'sacred grove/forest').

Other places which are likely named after him include:

Loudun and Montluçon in France;

Loudoun in Scotland;

Dinlleu in Wales;

Leiden in the Netherlands;

Lugones in Asturias, Spain (territory once inhabited by the Luggones Astur tribe);

Legnica in Silesia;

Lothian in Scotland

Luton in England

Ethnonyms which may derive from Lugus include the Luggones of Asturias, and the Lougei, known from inscriptions in Lugo and El Bierzo.

His festival, called Lughnasadh ("Festival of Lugh") in Ireland, was commemorated on 1 August. When the Emperor Augustus inaugurated Lugdunum ("fort of Lugus", now Lyon) as the capital of Roman Gaul in 18 BC, he did so with a ceremony on 1 August (this may be purely coincidental, however). At least two of the ancient Lughnasadh locations, Carmun and Tailtiu, were supposed to enclose the graves of goddesses linked with terrestrial fertility.

BLOG FOUR: REWRITE

We probably have some sort of social media, whether it be facebook, twitter, snapchat, and how many times have we posted something when we were mad and then realise, you “stuffed” up or shared a memory of you and your current “ex” boyfriend and after 5 years later facebook decides to say “you have a past memory”. We often use social media for the fun of it, whether it be staying in touch with friends or family, staying up to date with the latest gossip, looking at memes for the next 20 hours or even just to fill up time.

But after participating through the week 5 lecture of COMM140 I didn’t realise that I could use twitter for educational purposes. According to the National Science Teacher Association, they believe that in the 21st century one of the most important skillsets include effective and sensitive use of web communication and social media (Ahmed. Lugovic & Jocic, 2016). By using twitter, you can engage with other teachers (for example) and share ideas that may help them or yourself in the classrooms and use that tools to implement into your own classrooms and uncover new learning opportunities for the students (Creative Education, 2017). Other examples can be communicating and approaching the view of the students to understand and view their interest, empowering faculty to act and improve if needed (Ahmed. Lugovic & Jocic, 2016). This is also known as a personal learning network (PLN) these are tools that help you to learn, nourish and grow anything and anytime with your own personalised audience (ACU, 2019).

Although by having a PLN can be really beneficial to the learning environment in the classroom, it does has its negatives. Firstly, teachers have be considerate to students that cannot afford the newest technology or may face technologically challenges, which could discriminate them getting notes and information that were received from online resources, classrooms discussions and from forums. In terms of what teachers post, they need take caution about what is said because what is posted on the internet can be seen and accessed at all times. For example in 2017, “kill some jews” tweeted by a preschool teachers has gotten in trouble and fired for expressing violent and racist thoughts (Fox News, 2017).

Overall, by using twitter respectfully and in a correct manner, teachers are able to focus their teaching towards their students interest and needs and as a preservice teacher, I look forward onto looking deeply about the use of social media and how it can develop my skills to be a better teacher in the future.

BLOG 1 - TO TWEET OR NOT TO TWEET?

We probably have some sort of social media, whether it be facebook, twitter, snapchat, and how many times have we posted something when we were mad and then realise, you “stuffed” up or shared a memory of you and your current “ex” boyfriend and after 5 years later facebook decides to say “you have a past memory”.

As studying teaching I believe that we should bridge the gap between formal and informal learning. We live in a society where social media has evolved rapidly and therefore instead of cancelling this practice we should take advantage and embrace it (Bouabdallah, 2017).

I admit I am guilty of using twitter, I use it more often than my other social media and that’s because twitter allows me to express myself, allows me to follow whoever I want and personalises my newsfeed to topics that I usually engage in.  This is also similar to how this can be used educational wise.  By using twitter, you can engage with other teachers (for example) and share ideas that may help them or yourself in the classrooms and use that tools to implement into your own classrooms and uncover new learning opportunities for the students (Creative Education, 2017). Other examples can be communicating and approaching the view of the students to understand and view their interest, empowering faculty to act and improve if needed (Ahmed. Lugovic & Jocic, 2016).
