#Celtic#MythologyMonday: #FinnmacCool is depicted as a magical, benevolent giant. In a #Manx Gaelic tale, Fionn and the Buggane (a Manx huge ogre-like creature) fought at Kirk Christ Rushen. As Finn fled across the sea, the buggane tore out one of its own teeth and hit Fionn with it. The tooth fell into the water and became a chicken rock, and Fionn cursed the tooth and explained why it was a danger to sailors.
@NeuKelte "Fionn's wife, Oonagh, disguised Fionn as a baby and tucked him into a cradle. When the buggane saw the size of the 'baby', he thought that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants, and so he left" (from Wikipedia under "buggane")
