The Coming of Lugh / Welcome to my blog


So, this is my first post on here. I am a researcher and student from Canada and
I'll using this to share my thoughts and research on esoteric errata, history, the
occult, poltics, technology and similar topics. I may also include other media such
as podcasts or include some aggregated news posts if it seems fit.
I guess that's it for now, thanks for reading!

I'll leave you with this poem, as it seems very apropo:



THE COMING OF LUGH
by Iarwain
              
Lugh the Il-Dana came to the Tara 
Lugh Samildanach came to the palace of the Tutha De 
Lugh, master of all arts, came to Eireann 
 
The gate keeper did not recognize Lugh 
The gate keeper asked the Il-Dana his name 
The gate keeper asked Lugh Samildanach what skill he possesed 
 
Lugh said: 
 
I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of battle 
 
The gate keeper said: 
              
We have no need of a battle master 
King Nuada de Danann is our battle master 
Nuada Airgitlamh is our battle master 
 
Lugh said: 
I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of healing 
The gate keeper said: 
We have no need of a master of healing 
Diancecht de Danann is our master healer 
Diancecht is master of all herbs and healings 
 
Lugh said: 
 
I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of knowledge 
 
The gate keeper said: 
 
We have no need of a master of knowledge 
Oghma de Danann is master of all learning 
Oghma is master of all knowledge 
              
Lugh said: 
 
I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of Sailing 
 
The gate keeper said: 

We have no need of a master of sailing. 
Mananan mac Lyr de Danann is our master of ships. 
Mananan mac Lyr, son of the sea, is our master of sailing 
 
Lugh said: 
 
I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of sorcery 
 
The gate keeper said: 
 
We have no need of a master of sorcery 
The Badb de Danann are mistresses of all sorcery 
The three sisters Macha, Nemhain and  
Morrigan are mistresses of all witchcraft 
Lugh said: 
              
I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of smithing 
  
The gate keeper said: 
  
We have no need of a master of smithing 
Goibniu de Danann is our master of smithing 
Goibniu is a master of all crafts 
  
Lugh said: 
              I am Lugh Samildanach 
I am Lugh the Il-Dana 
I am Lugh, master of the battle 
I am Lugh, master of healing 
I am Lugh, master of knowledge 
I am Lugh, master of sailing 
I am Lugh, master of sorcery 
I am Lugh, master of smithing 
  
I bid you, unless you know of another who is master 
of all these arts, take me to Nuada Airgitlamh, 
take me to Nuada, king of the Tutha de Danann. 
  
The gatekeeper went to Nuada. 
When Nuada heard of Lugh's coming he said: 
Let him come in, for never has his like entered 
this fortress 
              
Lugh the Il-Dana was admitted to the Tara 
Lugh Samildanach was admitted to the palace of the Tuatha De 
 

Lugh master of all arts found his place amongst the Tuatha de Denann
