In Norse #mythology, #Thor is the god associated with storms, lightning, and thunder. Similarly, in Roman mythology, #Jupiter assumed a comparable position as the god of the sky and thunder. #Thursday was attributed to Jupiter, a tradition adopted by Germanic peoples as well. Additionally, ancient Albanians also adhered to this cultural practice of linking Thursday to the deity of fire.

When we did our #podcast episode on the #constellation#Taurus, we briefly discussed, the #Pleiades, but they were outshined by the Crab Nebula... but now we've given the Pleiades their due!
my ret-con(stellation) of the #Pleiades#myth: extends the podcast-extended-universe -- the Pleiades are now the global superheroes of protecting nature.
#Celtic#Mythology: At Mac #Dathó feast #Cet of the #Connacht men withdrew his claim to the hero's portion of the meat saying, If my brother, #Anlúan, was here, you would not be getting the #curadmir, for he is the better warrior.#Conall Cernach from #Ulster replied, `But he is here!” and pulled Anlúan’s head from his belt and threw it at Cet so hard, he was splattered with his brother’s blood.

#Celtic#MythologyMonday: „In the Táin Bó Cuailnge, Conall Cernach, like Cernunnos, is an ancestor deity of the Irish. Conall sets out to rescue Fraech's wife, sons and cattle who have been carried off by a fierce and terrible tribe. Conall meets a crone who tells him to speak to a herdswoman because she cannot help them. The herdswoman, a diviner, tells Conall that she has heard that he is the chosen one who will save Fraech's family and kill the awful serpent that guards them. Conall attacks the fort of the serpent and the serpent slides into his belt without a struggle.“

#MythologyMonday: „The detail of the serpent in Conall's belt recalls the belt of the Vegetation Year God in Neolithic culture, and the image of Conall controlling or having the serpent encircle his waist recalls a recurrent image in #Celtic#mythology. The relationship between the great horned-god of the #Celts and the serpent symbolizes the control Cernunnos has of the underworld powers. He is the path-maker and protector for the people.“
