#Celtic#TempleThursday: Adventurers could reach the #Celtic#Otherworld by traveling west from Ireland, often blown off course by providential tempests while on an inspired mission. They typically explored many other fantastic islands before reaching their destination and returning home (or sailing on). Among these voyagers are Bran mac Febal (see The Voyage of Bran), Máel Dúin and St. Brendan.

“The Spoils of Annwn” describes Arthur's descent to Annwn, the Welsh name for the Celtic Otherworld.
#Celtic#TempleThursday: #Brendan sailed westward from #Ireland with his people. On the beach of a high, beautiful island, they saw a large number of ugly and ferocious mice as big as cats. They want to eat and devour us, he warned his fellow travelers.

#Celtic#TempleThursday: In #Irish Tradition, #Bran ("raven“) mac Febail is primarily a seafarer (later Christianised under the name Brandanus). The son of Febal was invited to Emain Ablach by Manannán mac Lir through a blossoming silver branch and through a beautiful woman, who then turned out to be the queen of the "women's land".
