What a day for the C S Lewis group at Ulster! A fantastic mini symposium with a brilliant range of speakers and talks. Much food for thought, can't wait for November and the next conference. Many congratulations @LewisSymposium

Hurchin Home @LewisSymposium Another excellent event by these two fine Lewis scholars, Curtis White and Kirsty Donnelly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A Druid in Glastonbury told me certain kinds of mist were considered liminal manifestations. He spoke about some fogs having an otherworldly sentience & concealed supernatural beings he called 'The Ancients of Avalon'. Painting by Ernst Ferdinand Oehme - Procession in the Fog

A very well-deserved victory! Congratulations Hurchin Home 🥳🥳🥳

This week's episode of The CS Lewis Podcast with Alister McGrath features a talk from our inaugural symposium by PhD candidate from The University of Iasi, Teodora Driscu. Her paper was entitled 'The Embodiment of Heaven in Lewis's Works'. #CSLewisUU cslewis.podbean.com/e/106-teodora-…

Celtic older women were revered as the 'wisdom keepers'. Over time they were called the 'Crone' which derived from the word 'Crown' meaning they were illuminated 'shining ones'. The church feared these wise women, murdering & relegating them to the role of the 'evil ugly hag'.

Since I believe Tolkien's works are the Iliad of our time, I will begin a new Tolkien art series that will attempt to capture the beauty and depth of middle-earth. These will likely follow a similar style to the Gondolin piece depicted here. Suggestions are more than welcome.

People of Twitter! Highlights from our mini symposium back in May 🥳

Dog rose. Latin, 'rosa canina', from Greek κυνόροδον (kunórodon). Name arose out of the belief in classical times that the root was a cure for the bite of a mad dog! Also used in 18th & 19th C to treat the bite of rabid dogs! Aka dogberry & witches' briar. 📷mine #FolkloreSunday

#Otd 988: Norse-Gael King Glúniairn recognised his half-brother Máel Sechnaill mac Domnaill (King of Mide & High King of Ireland) & agreed to pay taxes & accept Brehon Law. The event is considered to be the founding of the city of #Dublin! 🎨Reconstruction c 1000 © National Museum of Ireland

In many parts of #Ireland, a🕯️is still placed in the window #Christmas Eve! Symbolic welcome to Mary & Joseph as they travelled looking for shelter. Also indicated a safe place for priests to perform mass in the past, as during Penal Times this was not allowed. #FairyTaleTuesday

After another chunk of life away from social media, the very first and most important thing I have to say is CONGRATULATIONS to the wonderful Adeline Henry on smashing her Viva and officially becoming a Doctor! So very proud of my wonderful friend 🥳👏🏻

St Brigid was taking some fatted pigs quite a distance from the plain of the River Barrow to Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath. A 3-4 day journey. What on earth should appear from the forest, but wild #wolves! They helped Brigid escort the pigs all the way to Co. Meath! #FaustianFriday 🐺

Emerging, tentatively, from a full month of sickness. The germs really are out for blood this year, aren't they?
